went to las vegas this past weekend with some old college buddies. it must be a slow season right now because i have never seen las vegas blvd so devoid of people. i suppose it's more advantageous to go during slow periods because there are definitely less families and it's easier to navigate on the strip.
view of primm from the 15 inside our chevy impala rental
cactus garden near mccarran airport
ethel m chocolate factory in las vegas....slightly disappointing
inside our hotel room at the venetian...wifi was not free!
another view....quite spacious
some casinos already had their chinese new year decorations in place...this was in the area leaving the venetian and entering the palazzo
the bellagio also had their own oriental decor out in full fashion
the new city center wasn't finished last time i went to vegas....the architecture ranges from quirky to uber modern and the main casino in aria is unlike all other casinos on the strip in that it is arranged and decorated like a casual urban lounge
the graveyard $5.99 steak and eggs special at harrah's....should be avoided....however, the $9.99 prime rib special at hooter's is pretty decent
the bellagio buffet was pretty good...the fish was pretty fresh
the carnival buffet at the rio has a much larger selection than the bellagio and is cheaper but the food is not quite as well prepared
about 15 miles northwest of vegas is red rock canyon state park
moutains near the village of blue diamond
red sandstone mountains...there were quite a few people rock climbing
a view from behind
there was some snow at higher elevations...the snow was hard like ice
something something canyon that looks like helm's deep from lord of the rings
quite a nice diversion from the strip
