More of Las Vegas

Wednesday, we drove 5 miles from Nellis AFB to Bally's on the LV strip.

Circus Circus...

The beautiful Mirage.

Caesar's Palace.

The Bellagio.

The mall within the casinos...The Harley Store.

Beautiful Harley!

We bought the 24 hour pass to the Monorail.   That is how we moved from casino to casino.

This is a good way to travel and it is easy.

 

On our way to Caesar's we saw these two pretty pink haired girls....

On the way back from Caesar's, I asked if I could take their pictures and they said "Sure!"

More of Caesar's Palace.   We had dinner here.

I did not notice these maniquins had a "Do Not Take Pictures" sign.   Oops!!

The Strip from the crossover bridge...so much light!

The Paris Pool is our view from our room window.

A view of the Paris Eifel Tower/Paris at night and day from our room window.

The escalators to Bally's from Bellagio.

The MGM Tigers are resting....

 

Downtown Las Vegas

We rested and relaxed most of the day today.   I did the laundry and packed for our stay at the strip tomorrow. We stayed in because it has been very hot, 100's.   It was pretty windy today and they are expecting 60 mph winds tomorrow.  It is supposed to be getting much cooler,the 70's for a high.  

We left for a ride downtown just as the sun was setting over the beautiful mountains.

We arrived at the downtown area which is about 5 miles from Nellis AFB.

We parked at the Golden Nugget.               The beautiful lighting at the Golden Nugget.

   

The aquarium at the pool area at the Golden Nugget.

 

    

 

 

There were several bands playing under the big arch along the downtown casinos.

 

The street dancing...

  

Beautiful lights....

 

 

 

Tomorrow we will be at Bally's Hotel and Casino for three nights.   I will not be taking my computer so I will catch up with my blogging on Sunday.  Until next time!

Our Drive to Las Vegas

This morning, we were on the road by 9:30 and drove about 270 miles to Vegas.   We thought we may be stopping in Barstow and spend the night there, but Manuel decided to keep on going.  We arrived in Vegas early and got set up. 

This was not a very scenic drive since it was a drive thru the desert.   Reminds me of our trip last winter....spent in the Arizona desert.  Anyway, here are a few pictures.  As we left Bakersfield, the fields of vegetables look pretty green.

Nice looking mountains....

 

There is an area in the Sierra Nevada Mountains that has a  bunch of energy producing windmills....

These guys are Texans....they wave as they pass us.   They are wearing Longhorn jackets...

Then we see them as they are stopped here....

More beautiful mountains.

Our son's first car was a 1968 Chevy Nova like this one, except it was blue.

My Chauffer.....

A long, long road ahead.

First sight of a casino along the way...

 

And another....

Las Vegas ahead....we are driving on I 15 to North Vegas to Nellis Air Force Base.

Crooked pictures....hard to take pictures as I co-pilot!!!

We arrived at Nellis AFB.  

The park is pretty nice.   I will take more pictures of the base tomorrow.  

After dinner, we decided to go to the Commissary and BX.

The sun was setting....what a sight.

We will check out the base tomorrow.   On Wednesday, we will go stay at Bally's for three nights.   I called them on Sunday to see if we could get a complimentary room and they offered us three night.   We will leave the Coach at the Base.
