The Bellagio Conservatory finally finished the Holiday installation.

my buddy Rocky and his gal played one of their favorite venues last week, Jack's Place in Boulder City. 24 miles easy drive from The Strip.

rather small but fun and packed with enthusiastic music and dance lovers!

and Jack's Place serves a terrific sizzling 3 sausage plate.

Back in Las Vegas, strolling about by Aria, I noticed some mud on the walls of the lobbies at the Veer Towers (those pair of condominium towers which are leaning 5 degrees off center)...this big ass wall art is called "Circle of Chance". Artist Richard Long imported some mud from the river in his hometown of Bristol, England (River Avon) and finger-painted it up the wall.

I finally sat down to a fine burger. This is the burger at Delmonico's in Venetian Casino. They only offer it at lunch. The fine subtle thick! patty is made up of grindings from the 3 main steaks served there - filet, ribeye and sirloin..

Burger is served simply, with just the cheddar cheese and bacon. I did put the tomatoes and onions on it, then mixed up some mustard in the mayo and put that on...real darn good! But costs 4x an In-and-Out burger, and it isn't 4x better. I'd say just under 2x better....Fries are well done too...

The Mob Museum has this Jaguar XKE, formerly owned by John Gotti, on display in the Fashion Show Mall...

this big tusk is just a tip from a Woolly mammoth tusk, beautifully and intricately carved with thousands of miniature warriors by generations of who-knows from China's Ming Dynasty. On display inside Treasure Island Casino, owner Phil Ruffin collects Asian art...

The wifi was down at my motel, so I went back to my old spot from years ago - using the wifi in the coffee at Orleans Casino. It's not nearly as crowded as it was years ago, as Orleans now has free resort-wide wifi (over half the casinos in town offer this now).


and got a $2.50 chili dog (with mustard) in the Orleans sports book for lunch!

my buddy and his girl had a gig that evening in the fine Baliwick's restaurant/pub, in Orleans. Some menu items marked down for happy hour, I got the famous Reuben Egg rolls, with thousand island dipping sauce $7...good, but more fun than really good.

and the signature Baliwick Burger for $9. Almost worth it at this price.

the lobby at Hojo's had a stack of menus from this take out place a few miles down the road. I can tell from the menu they know what they are doing!

so I tried the $6.95 lunch deal on the combo Kung Pao (my drink was extra $1.50) darn good and helluva deal considering the price and unusually large portions!

Rocky and his gal had a gig in Summerlin last night, so fine chance for me to re-visit my old stomping grounds at Red Rock Casino, and check out the new remodel of the sports book at Rampart Casino - nicely done, with very comfy seats now. The new sports book is right across from the buffet (no signage yet to direct you)

Jimmy Vaccaro, a bookmaker here, is famous (among other things) for his "reverse teaser"....win 3 of 3 and pays 25-1!

Whoa, that seafood dinner looks superb!...I'll have to try it sometime for sure!!

Rocky and his gal, with full band, playing at The Summit restaurant/lounge in Summerlin.

This place is part of a big building, consisting of the the pro shop, restaurant, etc of the highest elevation of the 3 Summerlin golf courses - and they take advantage of that. The windows in The Summit provide this sweeping view of the valley, very impressive at dusk. But even in this night photo I took here you can pick out The Stratosphere and Luxor beam of light.

I was thinking of going to the Las Vegas Bowl. I did go to the University of Oregon. I looked it up and saw that RTC runs a special bus every 20 minutes to Sam Boyd Stadium right down Tropicana Blvd, at the end of the driveway of my motel. I saw the bowl is no sellout, so that means cheap scalper tickets. And I managed to finish my Sat handicapping late Fri night - so I had no excuse!

They allow William Hill to have a couple of big ads at Sam Boyd Stadium!

cashing some tickets at Hard Rock, I noticed this on display by the sports book - Tupac's early wardrobe the night he was killed in Las Vegas. He was shot to death in his concert clothes he changed into after beating up a Crip while wearing this outfit...

Beautiful Herm?s scarf ($395) I saw strolling at Bellagio.

Leaving Las Vegas I stopped at the casinos in Primm, Nevada - which is some 40 miles south of Las Vegas at the NV/CA border.

On display within Whiskey Pete's Hotel and Casino is this 1931 Lincoln. It was owned by gangster Dutch Schultz and features lead-filled doors and inch-thick glass. Al Capone's outfit took over use of the car after Dutch was killed (not in his car).

and famously, the Bonnie and Clyde's "Death Car" is on show here too.

across the road (you drive underneath I-15) is the much nicer Primm Valley Resort & Casino. They have this fine William Hill sports book inside (I had a William Hill ticket from Hooter's to cash)

I then drove out of Nevada and into California, thru the Mojave Desert, on I-15 to Barstow.

Then to Bakersfield, up the Central Valley, onto I-5 at Sacramento, passing by Mt Shasta (pictured here) on the way to Oregon to hang with friends and visit family for the holidays.

I arrived safe and very sound at my friend's house here on Lincoln St in Eugene. She will let me stay in her nicely appointed garage apt for a while...Not sure how long I'll be here...

She's a Saint....

when I saw the pic on my phone (squinting), I told her, "I can't put that up on Madjacks, you're giving the blowjob sign and flipping me me off...."

She vehemently denied it....I'm not sure.... :facepalm::mj07:
