Stone Elephant at the Mirage

The Mirage is one of the coolest casinos on the Vegas Strip. It has some amazing "tropical" artwork, both in and around it. This stone elephant carving is a good example.

During the summer, Mint Mondays at the Tropicana pool feature free concerts, mainly reggae. A Las Vegas casino is definitely one of the only places in the world you'll see a sexy go-go dancer, on a platform, dancing in front of a "roots" reggae band...

Hacienda Skyhawk at McCarran

In 1959 this Cessna 172 Skyhawk airplane spent 64 days 22 hours 19 minutes and 5 seconds in the air. The red Thunderbird, once owned by Howard Hughes, was used to fuel it. Longest flight ever. Sponsored by the old Hacienda Hotel.

Only in Vegas...

Little Boat at the Treasure Island

This little boat is just sitting in the "pond" at the Treasure Island, waiting for someone to jump in and take it for a ride. Seems like a great way to get up close and personal with the Sirens...

The pool at the Mirage is very beautiful. Thanks to the dozens of "misters" surrounding the pool it's possible to be comfortable even on a very hot summer day!
