The Sirens @ TI

While wondering aimlessly I came upon a rehersal of the pirate/siren
show at TI.

Yes a show car!

As I walk out of the hotel I see a car, that has a body of a high
heeled shoe. Crazy idea from a shoe repair company.

Condos everywhere

Everywhere you turn there are condos. The work 24 hours a day
building these things, and they are about 50% pre-sol!

Monorail


Monorail, originally uploaded by keithk.

The monorail is a lovely addition to Vegas. For 9 bucks you can ride
all day, travelling from the Stratosphere to the south at the MGM
Grand. The montail states that the population of Vegas has doubled
every year since 1950.

California fires

With the wind changes today we are seeing smoke come through the
valley from the California fires. (The brown haze to the north.)

Lazy tiger

I do not think that this tiger at the Mirage is nearly as spunky after
trying to eat half of his trainer team.

The perfect dog!

Seeing that Katiw has to be in class all say, I am free to venture
out. Today I walked to the Wynn for what I remember the perfect hot
dog. This wonderful sandwich was created at ZooZa Crackers. It
consists of a sliced Kosher dog, coleslaw, corned beef, pickle,
tomato, Russian dressing all on a hoagie bun. It was good enough to
photograph!

Wynn

The water falls at the Wynn. The Wynn is the high end hotel/casino in
Las Vegas, everything in it is luxurious.

This guy is everywhere!

This wasn't here last year. Trump of course has to have the tallest
building.

Hmmm?

A nice romantic ride for one?

Where else?


Where else?, originally uploaded by keithk.

Where else other than Las Vegas can you get a cold cut sub and play
the slots at the same time?

Day time view

Not as good as a $300 a night room's view, but not bad.

A room with a view

Every other time we have been to Vegas we have stayed at the Mirage,
this is the best view of the Mirage yet.

This one is for Mike

Crappy picture, but a huge Gordon Birsch bar.

What other airport has slot machines?

A sea of Delta

Leg 1 of our trip is complete, anyone who flies Delta knows you can't
go anywhere without a connection through Cincy, or in our case Atlanta

I do not mind being over the wing, but the view isn't much.

The lovely boarding process


The lovely boarding process, originally uploaded by keithk.

Even though Delta has developed the "zone" boarding program, people
refusing to follow directions seem to make air travel just like bus
service.

Waiting at the airport

Our journey begins. Katie reluctantly poses for a photo on our first
trip away from Emma.
