Las Vegas






















While in Las Vegas Bev tried unsuccessfully to pay down some of the trip costs, to no avail. There is all sorts of construction of spectacular hotel/casinos along the strip and it won't look the same in 5 years. Many of the hotels feature amusement rides, and you will see a couple that are tacked onto the outside of Stratosphere (the tallest tower structure in Las Vegas). The one Bev is standing near is mini-rollercoaster that shoots its riders out over the edge of the tower....eww, scarey. The other swings its riders over the edge as well. The fountain you see is outside Bellagio (remember the movie "Oceans 11"?) and the fountain's water jets dance beautifully to music. It is almost moving if one could imagine such a thing in Las Vegas.
