Originally, in early Vegas, the casinos were built "down town". As the strip expanded, the big casinos got farther and farther away from down town. In an effort to revitalize this area, the big casinos that are still down there (Fitzgeralds, Four Queens, Bennions, Golden Nugget, The Plaza...) and the city created "The Freemont Experience". It is a huge dome of lights over a 3ish block area along Freemont Street, and at night they do a music/light show every 1/2-1 hour...depending the the season. On St. Patrick's Day we only saw one show though our parking ticket told us we had been down there more than 3 hours. They were advertising a show featuring Queen music, but the one we saw was music from the 60's. It was pretty entertaining--not Donny and Marie, but it'll do in a pinch--and if you make it to Vegas, it's worth a trip down town to check it out some evening. In an effort to upload the photos (which were bigger than the other Vegas photos) I had to make them smaller and not download as many. I hope I chose the best ones!
And this concludes our Vegas trip. The next morning Shelley had to leave pretty early (10:00) by Vegas standards, Mom left around 11:00, and Mary Beth and I went over to another hotel--looking for cheap poker--for a couple of hours before we too had to leave our happy place! But there's always next time...Let's start planning now!

So... this is what y'all were enthralled with in the last picture of the last post...
I want more posts. This isn't enough for me to live vicariously & it's going to be awhile before I make it down there with you guys!
