Mary wanted to fly over Freemont Street on a zip line and had a blast doing that. Not my thing so I took pictures as I could. There is more on Mary's FB page. Took a trip out to Hoover Dam and saw the new O'Callaghan-Tillman bridge. It was quite impressive to see after watching it's construction on line.
We also went to the Neon Museum and Brilliant Light show. It was cool to see all the old signs from the hey days of Vegas come to life. Rather that restore them they showed them in their current condition and brought them to life with laser lights and music. The boneyard was another collection of more of the old signs saved from the scrap heap in their current condition. Having seen so many of these landmarks in movies and on TV now past their prime does make you think about the evolution of Las Vegas.
On a side note, we did go into the casino at Sam's Town and signed up for their players card. I am not a gambler at all. I just don't get it. Anyway I got $5 of free money to entice me to join the "fun". Mary steered me over to the penny slots, sat me down, and told me to have some fun. The card went in and I started pressing buttons not knowing what the hell I was doing. At some point the machine started going wonky on it's own and playing game after game after game. Apparently I had won some free plays and the machine took care of everything. All the noise and lights and me sitting there like an idiot while Mary is going "isn't this fun?" eventually won me $50 dollars. Not fun! Profitable? Yes. But not fun. That's fifteen minutes of my life I will never get back but at least it bought us dinner.
Well we are on the road from our home in Las Vegas because....
Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
