Monday 30th September

Anyone for a quick wedding? This is in our hotel. There are 315 weddings on average per day in Las Vegas.

 This is on the outside of a steakhouse in the New York New York hotel. It is a fridge full of aged beef used for steaks.

 This is a board full of the odds for betting on sports. This is one of the smaller ones.
 Can you spot the window cleaner?
 There he/she is.
In order: Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Tag Heuer, Fendi, Richard Mille and Louis Vuitton. I avoided all of them!!!!

 A helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon.


A 'selfie'.
The Las Vegas Strip.
 Lake Las Vegas. Home to Celine Dion, and George Clooney has a place here as well.
This is the town that was built for those who constructed the Hoover Dam. Apparently it is full of cross dressers. 
The Hoover Dam. We are in the Mojave Desert.
Lake Mead. It is the water source for Las Vegas and is fed by the Colorado River.
You can see in the distance a town that was built 50 years ago for retirees. It wasn't a success! Mum and Dad, I have found the ideal place for you. Meadview Retirement Community.

Where the Colorado River meets Lake Mead.
The Grand Canyon.  



See if you can spot the helicopter down near the river.


They received their major rainfall 3 weeks ago. It was quite green here for a desert.
Joshua Tree country. Is that Bono down there?
This is part of Meadview. Incredible!!!!!
A part of Meadview that was never developed.
Ouch!

A Joshua Tree.
Is it just me, or is a desert a beautiful place?





Can you spot the wild cattle?
A house boat on Lake Mead.
The red colour is the product of iron in the soil/rock.

Vegas!
