BELLAGIO FOUNTAINS

The crowds gather to watch the fountains and listen to the music.

BELLAGIO LOBBY

On the ceiling of the lobby, are hundreds of flowers made of glass by Chihuly. We've seen his work at the Mayo Clinic and in Branson, and he recently had his pieces at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. He has a shop in the Bellagio where one small piece costs $10,000-I can just imagine what this cost.

A closer look.

This is the area right behind the hotel front desk.

Other areas are pretty too.

A fuzzy picture of a closed gaming area.

THE BELLAGIO CONSERVATORY

Off the hotel lobby is the conservatory, which is lovely.



Pretty delphinium.

Butterflies

Real butterflies.

Very lovely.

THE RIO

This casino has it's own convention area, so it can hold the 6000+ poker players that play on the world poker tour.

This is in a barbecue restaurant in the Rio. Don thought it was neat.

MUSTANG SALLY'S DINER

Now this is a first! I asked the lady at the information center where the locals like to eat, and she told me-the Ford dealership. She wasn't kidding- Mustang Sally's Diner is part of the Ford dealership.



Here's breakfast!

Notice the window toward the right-it opens to the lounge. You can have your car repaired and go to the window and order your meal. How cool is that!!!

GUARDIAN ANGEL CATHEDRAL

Only in Las Vegas could you find a Cathedral in the shadow of a casino-it's next to the Encore and Wynn. It's also very modern. We attended Good Friday services with the Bishop presiding and were impressed with the singing-we wondered if they were professionals like Branson and Nashville.

FREMONT STREET

Fremont Street is the older part of Las Vegas which has put up a roof type thing, that they use to project a show, to compete with the strip. We went back last night to see the show, but I'll show you what it looks like during the day.

That picture was taken between Binions-

And the Golden Nugget-

This is the largest golden nugget ever found-you can see that my picture is lousy.

They have an interesting pool with a waterfall and an aquarium. I love the chairs in the water.
