Aiming for Vegas.
Imperial Palace, our hotel
Thanks to a booking mistake, we ended up in yet another suite! This one quite crazy, mirror ceiling above the bed...
...corner jacuzzi in the bedroom...also with a mirror ceiling.
Gondolas by The Venetian
The entrance to Luxor
A good third of the size of the real thing!
hmmm
The Bellagio water ballet

The Strip is pretty quiet during the day...
At night, however, it's a whole different story.
A peek inside Caesar's Casino, the largest one in Vegas.
Ok, we did some gambling...but maybe not a full dollar's worth.
Trying a terrible, ice-slush variant of an otherwise yummy Brazilian Caprinhia.
Vegas by night
What we did in Vegas: Fine dining...
...and sharing drinks!
enjoying the Cirque de Soleil show Zumanity
Morning of departure; Christine is planning our stay in Yosemite.
We hop in the car, it's 112°F (44°C) outside....pheow.
...and more desert driving. This is what Nevada looks like to me, every time...
