We stay at the Stratosphere - the tallest freestanding observation tower in the US and tallest building west of the Mississippi. The beds are extremely comfortable and it's difficult to crawl out.
It takes about 30 minutes to walk from our car through the bridge to the casino, down the escalator to the main floor, through the slot machines, up the escalator to floor two, past the food court, through a shopping mall, through security, wait in line, use room keys as ticket vouchers, redeem vouchers, get more tickets, go through a photo opp shown below, up another escalator, then up 114 floors in a suave double-decker elevator.
Totally worth $17.

No thanks.
We jump off the Stratosphere into the swimming pool below. The urban skyline is masked by lush paintings of beach scenes and beautiful mullets playing racquetball.
We continue to the Neon Boneyard - a three acre site of non-restored signs from Vegas's hayday.
It's the first museum dedicated to preserving Las Vegas's historic casino heritage.
Meet Jeremy, our tour guide.
The Silver Slipper provides some shade, which is hot real estate in this desert lot.
Surfing USA.
Caesar's Palace.
Boman walking past a piece of Stardust. It cost almost $1,000,000 cold, hard cash to cut-up and relocate the structure.
You can see this skull smiling bright on Google Earth.
Fully satisfied with our short Vegas stint, we drive through the Mojave Desert to Los Angeles.
We buy a new body kit for the CRV - fully loaded and prepared for the shenanigans ahead.
We meet up with more SCAD buddies and Willie Nelson and head to the Cha Cha Lounge.
Dudes-night-out.
We tell Kirt about Monument Valley. He's flabbergasted.
Testosterone at it's finest.
Hungry from all the foosball action, we head to The Taco Stand, imagine a Moe's Restaurant crammed inside a '73 Astro Van. Delicious. The night ends with Matt getting into an altercation over some guac. Go figure.
