Vegas Pics --

We're staying at the Stratosphere Hotel. This is the tower, but the rooms are in another building. We didn't make it up to the top today -- tomorrow.

We went to the Mirage and saw the white lions & tigers. This is one of the tigers. There was also a black panther, snow leopard and a baby leopard in a nursery. It's hard to get good pictures through chainlink fence.

There were a bunch of Alpacas at the Mirage too, along with some Trumpeter swans. This guy was the most coooperative posing.

We saw some of the dolphins at the Mirage too. They had to do a rectal exam on one of them, but I didn't take any pictures of that. I'm sure you appreciate that. The look on people's faces was priceless.


These ladies acted as water fountain type statues at the Venetian Hotel. They moved really slow and had water spraying out from their hands. It was kind of fascinating and kind of creepy at the same time. After their show, they came off their platform and rode the escalator upstairs. Can you imagine what that lady from Montana would have thought if she saw that?

I had a little crisis today. I only brought several different types of boots, and since we're without a car, we're doing a lot more walking than normal. I was pretty much hating life earlier until we caught a taxi and had him drive us to Ross. I'm such a tightwad and didn't want to buy any from the designer shops in the hotels. I cannot even begin to tell you how GOOD cheap tennis shoes feel! Anyway, we're going to grab some dinner soon and then head back out to see The Jersey Boys tonight. I don't think they allow pictures during the show. Until next time ... Viva Las Vegas!
