More Sights


Still lots happening in Vegas.  Temps are on the decline. Only in the 80s this week. Haha.

We attended the PGA Shriners Open Tournament at TPC Summerlin.  Our first visit to a pro course. There were beautiful homes throughout the course. I learned a lot about golf and spectator rules. DON'T MOVE! DON'T TALK!

Golf course homes.

The home of a casino owner. Note the pool with slide in upper left!

Ninth Faraway 

Hope the cameraman wasn't afraid of heights! 

18th  Green
By the way I wasn't supposed to take any pictures of the golfers but a snuck a few of the course!

102.7 The Coyote  - Fan Jam 11
Dan sent a text message joke to the radio station and was given 2 tickets to Fan Jam 11 at Sunset Station east of Las Vegas.  Fun show.



The Cavalry

Parmalee

Jon Pardi

Sara Evans


Eclipse - I got up pretty early to get these shots.




Free Climbers in Red Rock Canyon
We watched these guys for a little while.  They were free climbing (only using their hands and feet, no real safety gear except a guy up top was holding a rope attached to the climber.)



This guy was on his own.




Marj and Bruce at Red Rock Canyon



Group selfie!

You can rent these little cars in Summerlin I think and drive them out to the canyon.  Might be fun to try.


Notice the pictograph of a hand. 

Rock formation

Bruce getting ready for the rodeo!


Side trip!

Marj's first trip to California.


Brothels are not legal in Las Vegas (Clark County) but they are legal near Pahrump.  We drove past two. The Chicken Ranch was the inspiration for the musical Best Little Whore House in Texas.





I was more interested in the price of gas in Pahrump!



Critters!

Greater Roadrunner


Big Horn Sheep relaxing in the shade.


Camouflaged wild donkeys.

Dinner on the Strip at Bubba Gump's!

Life is like a box of chocolate ...

Nice rides!



Tivoli Village


Free entertainment.


And for dessert ... more Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake!

Self control - what's that?
We had a great visit with my sister Marj and my brother-in-law Bruce.  Next on the schedule is a visit from our daughter, Erin.  We have plans to visit Fremont Street on Halloween! Stay tuned.

Its all about the journey.
