My family went to Las Vegas the first week of March. Here are some pictures.
The Bellagio, we stayed next to it. It
has a 7 acre lake in front of it and they put on a water show set to music every
half hour. A video clip of the fountains can be found under attractions.
This is a panoramic view out of the window of our hotel. On the right is the
Bellagio's sign. It is taller than our hotel.
On the left is the
Excalibur. On the right is the "Big Shot" ride on top of the
Stratosphere. The ride is 110 stories up in the air and shoots you another
160 feet up in 2.5 seconds. The elevators in the Stratosphere travel almost 30
miles an hour.
On
the left is a picture of my Mom, Dad, and Uncle Darvin inside
Paris, Las Vegas. They had a cow exhibit for charity, they even had a
showgirl cow. The 1/4 size Eiffel Tower can be seen above in the panoramic view
from our hotel. On the right side is a flag at the
Harley
Davidson Cafe. It is made of 3/8" log chain and is about 40 feet wide and 30
feet tall. The bike in the picture is one of about 15 on a carousel that carries
the bikes all over the cafe.
Here is the Hoover Dam, the left
side of the river is the Arizona side and the right is the Nevada side. In the
middle picture the dark specs are actually people on the roof of the turbine
houses. The right picture is a view of the turbines on the Nevada side of the
Dam. The bottom picture shows the outside of the Arizona turbine house.
Here are vehicles inside the antique car show in the
Imperial Palace that Ralph
Engelstad used to own. The Dale Earnhardt racecar can be bought for $32,000. The
F-100 was the first one produced.
The left top picture is of a 1999 Shelby and the bottom is a Duesenberg worth
almost $2 million. The right top is my Mom and I sitting in a Model T Ford. The
bottom is my Dad and I working on it. There were some foot pedal linkages
unhooked. We hooked 'em back up.
This is Shane Duncan. He was talking like a raghead, so we made him a raghead.
These are pictures of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
where my driver Matt Kenseth won the
UAW Daimler-Chrysler 400.
On the left top there were 37 Dodge Vipers parading the drivers around before
the race, and the bottom shows the race about to go green. On the right top Kurt
Bush goes in early and the bottom Jeff Gordon goes in. About 3/4 of the crowd
cheered when he wrecked.
Kenseth moving through the field and doing burnouts in the lower right picture.
As we walked back after the race we walked by 5 Ford Excursion limos. They were
the most common limo we saw. I am standing by Kenseth's souvenir truck in the
left and the right shows pictures of Kenseth and Earnhardt Jr.'s trailers.
