Hit the strip early and the Bellagio was barely awake. Reception area featured a stunning ceiling piece by Dale Chihully. The conservatory had poppies in glass and an iron work and glass ceiling. A small butterfly house was enclosed in the center. Through out this open area a mosaic pattern floor continued the feeling of a luxury Italian palazzo. The fountains were being cleaned and not scheduled until at least 4PM if the winds die down.
The dynamic trio signed up for players cards and action began on the slots. There are a ton of machines from 1 cent to $25 or more. Roulette tables with minimum bids of $10. Poker tables with a variety of games.
We headed to Fremont St to see the historic casinos and tried our luck at the Fremont.
Features in that area were the old neon signs. No where near as glitzy as the other end of Las Vegas Blvd. Building going up and out. The Frontier Hotel where 2 of us had meetings back in the 70's is gone. Only the sign remains. The Wynn is completing another building called Encore.
All I can say is our money stayed in Vegas!
Headed out of town on I-15 south with 6 lanes of bumper to bumper stop and go traffic. Casinos followed 15 to the last foot of the state line. Gusty wind signs were blinking along the way.
The Mojave desert is definitely bare, no wonder the air force has a base there.
Carol was mooned by a curly tailed pink pig!
We stopped at Peggy Sue's Nifty 50's diner/cafe near Yermo CA. Definitely a tourist place with appropriate decor. We had pie and ice cream, sundae and a phosphate!
