Last few hours in Vegas

Sitting here in the Las Vegas Airport. A wierd day as the low hanging
clouds are blocking off many of the tops of the casinos as well as
causing a few flight delays. Vegas looks very different when it's grey
and wet. So glad that this is the end of the trip, weather wise I
mean we have had some great weather and. a great time. I never got the
time to go shoot but did make it out to the King of Cars dealership
and also to the Henderson Harley Davidson dealership. It has been a
wonderful holiday but back to reality tomorrow or tonight for the
wife. Be glad to get home as it always is. Just heard our flight is
delayed by 2.5 hours. YIPES

Nellis Air Force Base

Just a quick update on this afternoon's activities. We picked up the
rental van a little afternoon and cruised up the I-15 to the base.
Damn their highways here are huge, multi lane, quick-moving and great
to drive, wish I had the FJ1200! Arrived at the AFB and they are
flying the 23's dfamn fine planes wish I had the camera ready. I did
however get some great shots of F16, F18, C17 and even some aggresor
squadron painted fighters. I also caught a. glimpse of the AWACS
coming in to land. What a blast it was!!!!
Heading to freemont tonight then out of town tomorrow AM. Will try to
update from Laughlin.

Mid-week in SinCity

Continuing to have a great time in Vegas. Went to Ellis Island, a
little known off-strip Casino with on-site brewery. The restaurant
(Yes it is really called "Restaurant") with it's off menu 10 oz steak
special and fantastic beer is worth the walk down from Bally's. The
steak was perfect hoping to head there again tonight. "A" beat the
house and left EI 165 bucks richer in blackjack. I was playing the
nickle slots and came away 38 bucks up. The waitress was by every 10 -
15 minutes and I was enjoying that. Just heading back to the concrete
show (on the bus now) to track down the folks, then off to the Airport
to pick up a mini van for the trip to Hoover Dam and Laughlin
tomorrow. Hoping to head out to Nellis AFB today and maybe to the Gun
Store to get my Full-Auto fix. :-)

Living it up in Las Vegas

Arrived here on Sunday afternoon, it's great to see blue skies and
sun. There is even heat off the sun in January. The nights here dip
down from 2 to -2 but as the time you are outside you are always
moving it is not too bad. We spent yesterday going out to East Las
Vegas and then on to Henderson. Henderson appears to be the land of
Malls and big box stores. Vegas is a very cool place and each year we
are here I like to venture more and more off the strip. The folks we
have met here, the locals on the buses or at the different off-strip
stores, are very friendly and welcomingn part of the charm of Vegas.
I am heading to the World of Concrete convention this morning with the
gang. This will be our fourth one (For A and I ) it is always worth a
look to see what is going on in the industry, and with my
Father-in-law being in the business for so long he is able to expain
the changes and technology to me.
Things on the list to do yet...
Rent some military hardware (Two different gun shops 1 we did last
year the other you can rent a M209 grenade launcher)
Rent a car and drive out to Laughlin, Hoover Dam, King of Cars
dealership and maybe Nellis AFB.
Check out the Atomic Testing Museum
Check out the Bodies exhibit
Oh so much to see......
