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.
