Month: June 2010

After checking out of our hotel we still had a lot planned before heading home. We wanted to take a picture with a million dollars and Binion’s Casino offered us that opportunity.

Before heading out for the night Randy gave everyone a quick lesson on how to play craps and black jack. Yes, we’re geeks, we own a craps/black jack felt and we bring it with us when we travel. Let’s just not mention this again.

With our bellies full, we decided to walk off our dinner on the Fremont St. promenade while catching the last Viva Vision show of the night. This year’s theme is “Summer of the 70s” I love Fremont St. I would rather stay here than on the strip any day. It feels almost intimate compared to…

Krista decided she wanted to go to Chart House for her birthday dinner. Sure, why not. After going swimming, Randy went down to make reservations.

We’re here!

The moon is rising just as the sun is setting. I smell an eclipse around the corner. I can’t tell you how beautiful a desert moon rise is, especially when the moon is right on the horizon. Okay, so you can’t tell in the picture, but it looks huge!

Randy and I are stopping off for dinner at Del Taco. We thought it was appropriate since the first Del Taco was founded somewhere around here (Yermo). I like that they have the sauce packets in a basket on the table. I wish all places did it this way. I take what I want and…

This is the one and only cloud in the sky right now. I’m thinking it’s a UFO disguised as a cloud. That’s my guess.
