Leaving the Frontier on Monday morning, our last day in Vegas. We checked out
of the hotel, and loaded up everything into the rental car (which fortunately
had a very spacious trunk, because we also had the Bakers and their luggage with
us – we all flew out of Vegas on Monday night). I took this picture
from the Frontier's parking lot because the posters summed up Vegas so well:
boobs, bingo (gambling), and buffets.
We ate breakfast with a view of flamingos and other wild birds outside the
window. After breakfast, we went outside to get a closer look, especially at the
penguins (Q loves penguins). Note the couple of penguins who were getting
biz-zay inside their little cave. That's right, it was a RockyCon weekend and
even the penguins were getting some.
Penguin lust is NOT "immoral and wicked", and anybody who says so is just
an old prude. It's beautiful! And natural! And I for one fully support penguin
lust!
Off to see more animals...
Dolphins!
A reminder that Nevada is a "red state"; yet is hosting a RockyCon...
These wild animals belong to Siegfried and Roy, and are presumably the ones who
haven't tried to maul anyone yet (and, unlike S&R, are still entertaining
audiences).
The Coney Island Emporium at New York
New York, with some large sets of lips at the entrance. The Emporium is an
arcade, full of machines that take your quarters and don't offer you the chance
of getting any back (although they do have tickets redeemable for prizes, and
they do allow children to loiter about).
A view from the outside (the bridge leading from the parking garage into New
York, New York) showing part of the roller coaster that begins and ends in the
Emporium, but goes outside, around, and above the hotel, street, and parking
areas.
A view from the parking garage, showing the King Arthur's castle at the Excalibur across the street, through the
roller coaster supports.
Crossing over to the Bellagio, with the
Mirage in the background.
Going into the museum in the Bellagio, where photography is prohibited.
Ron and Hillary Maxwell gave us their son's Brad Majors costume, which no longer
fit William. Richard looks a little bit like that scary Six Flags guy...
Richard attending Rocky Horror in the Brad costume the very next weekend,
in Cleveland, Ohio. With Q and Richard is Kevin Boycik, who was unable to
attend Cirque Du Rockeil; and so, we had to bring Richard out to Ohio to
meet him.
