We left Boise this morning where it was very cold and getting ready to snow. By noon PST, it was shirt-sleeve weather right here in Las Vegas. We promised Ruby and Michaela that we would chronicle our annual pilgrimage so be prepared for all sorts of pictures of our adventures in Sin City!
Vegas from the air
OK - you all know who this is getting all excited to be in Vegas to attend the 2012 Shot Show. We chose the Flamingo this year so we can forget about the shuttles and just walk to the show this year - whick is at the Venetian. This is an older hotel, but Hey! It was started by Bugsy Seagal and it's a cornerstone of Vegas. AND..not only do they have beautifuls girls decked out in pink flamingo costumes, but they also host Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville!!!!! Dude!
So, who out there knew that the Flaminigo had a habitat enclosure full of flamingos, fish and ducks? There is a water slide here! Of course, it's closed at the moment - 'cause it's like winter.
I couldn't get a picture of the black swans, but the black necked swan let me take his picture.
How cool is it that they not only have coy in their ponds,but also albino channel cats?
Is this a perfect example of Vegas technology,or what? This is 100% indoors, yet it looks like an outdoor mall! Never underestimate the illusion in Vegas! These guys took a desert and turned it into the most popular money-making spot on EARTH!
Stay tuned! tomorrow we attend Shot Show University and I'll be updating this blog!!!
