Perhaps you’ve encountered one before, but this as my first Jelly Belly statue. In Vegas, of course!
But I’m not sure I like it. Hmmm…. Couldn’t they have sorted the Jelly Belly’s by color?
However, it is a feat to have made it!
Who is the lucky one to eat it?
Las Vegas has so much to offer! Seafood buffets, a gigantic chocolate fountain, steak galore, and alcoholic beverages everywhere. What caught my eye? You’ve guessed right: Popcorn!!!
Moral of the Story: Even in far off lands, you might find something that reminds you of home.
This is one quick shot of the over-sized garden the Bellagio had on display in 2010.
I like bees. Well, it’s more appreciation and respect. With the farm, we need bees to help pollinate the fruit. Therefore, we need bees. Although I’m not allergic to a bee sting, I still don’t LIKE to be stung. However, this exhibit had the bees a little too big for my taste. These were the things of nightmares.
Moral of the Story: Sometimes there’s just one thing that takes away from the beauty. Overgrown bees in a glass garden take away the beauty for me.
Just one of the pleasant sites in too hot Las Vegas. No idea now where we were, but this was a refreshing site for my sweaty self.
Have I mentioned lately that it was TDH there? TDH stands for Too Doggone Hot … in this particular instance.
A friend and I on our free evenings in Las Vegas (days spent inside at a conference) enjoyed walking in and out of many casinos. We had no intentions to gamble, just to enjoy taking photos of each one and see the interior decorating wonders. I think I was a bit more interested in the outside of Casino Royale that the inside. I had high hopes of seeing a 007 figure. No such luck.
However, in this ridiculously hot desert city, the McDonald’s was more than a mirage with ice-cold water and nice cold seats. I’m not usually one to sing the praises of McDonald’s but three things came together for this: a) Ice cold water, b) cool air and cold seats, and c) clean bathrooms!
Moral of the Adventure: There is nothing so refreshing in all of the world as ice-cold water in the heat or hot tea in the cold.
Among the things that don’t need to stay in Las Vegas are the desserts. I appreciate fruity things, and these three fruit desserts with one chocolate option were divine! I did share them with my travel companions, and we all agreed the red one was by far the best: raspberry. Thank goodness for buffets!
Moral of the Story: When eating in Vegas, save room for a few desserts.
After reading Carole Nelson Douglas’ mystery series about the cat Midnight Louie (a fun series taking place in Las Vegas), I was very much looking forward to seeing the Pirate exhibit at Treasure Island. I was impressed by the pyrotechnics and the size of the boats, but I was saddened by the scanty outfits the crew wore. The only photos I brought home were those of the techy stuff. The scanty stuff is welcome to stay in Vegas … or even skip town.
I know that’s part of the allure for some of Las Vegas – the sex appeal. For me, it was the architecture of the buildings and the larger than life signs. What did not interest me was the obscene heat. I don’t mean that I got hot from the men dancing on the bar at MGM Grand (okay, I did). What I mean is the heat index outside: 113 Fahrenheight = unacceptable! I’ll take Michigan any day!
Moral of the Story: Clothes are a good thing, even in horrible heat.
What you see in Vegas, stays in Vegas is the old adage. But sometimes, I wish what I saw in Vegas would be real, here all the time. Wouldn’t it be great to have a rescuer in everyday life?
Moral of the story: Thank goodness there’s God! He’s only a prayer away.
