Marc and I visited Las Vegas Motor Speedway and I am glad to say we survived a private tour provided by Julie, a 70 some-odd year old women who drove us at warp speed around the track. I learned quickly the value of a seat belt after being slammed into the side door of our 15 passenger van. None-the-less it was very interesting to see the facility. The 20+ degree slope on turn one and two was very cool to hike up!


Some of the ground crew let us help paint the grass in preparation of the Camping World Truck Series race this weekend.

If you ever get to Vegas a must see is the Freemont Street experience. The ceiling lights up and music is synched to is. VERY cool!

These are handblown glass jellyfish like plates that hang from the lobby ceiling at the Bellargio Hotel. The pictures do it no justice. Thanks to Marc he drove down the "strip" in congested traffic so that I could run in and take pictures. The hotel itself is very grand and the casino is one of the most elaborate.
