Theme day-Glass

This is the Encore Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas. It celebrated its grand opening in December. It was a must see when we visted last week. The interior is very nice.

Fat Tuesday

Today is Fat Tuesday, my family used to go to New Orleans every year for Mardi Gras. I havent been to NOLA in years. I did take a short trip to Vegas for the weekend. The only thing I brought back was a cold or crud or something. We stayed at Harrahs, a Mardi Gras themed hotel/casino.

I am back

I hate to say it but we are back from Las Vegas. The trip was wonderful. In the coming days, I will post pictures on my second page of the trip. One picture for today is the hotel we stayed at. By the time we left there was nothing left.



Not really, this is the old Frontier. There was a larger building farther back from the strip that was imploded late last year. I guess this was a smaller building they decided they could just tear down instead. When we got to Vegas on Tuesday almost the entire building was standing. By the time we left on Friday afternoon, it was gone.

Mo posted two photos of the main hotel building before it was imploded and the reason it had to be removed. In my post you can see more of the Trump Tower. I guess the parking garage is going up in front of it.

I am sorry I wasn't able to make it to everyones site on Jan 1. We were rushed leaving the for the airport, we had to fight Cotton Bowl traffic so we left early. Thanks to everyone who made nice comments about my post.
