Las Vegas Deployment

I was on one of our regular exercises this week to Las Vegas. A deployment not to Nellis AFB, but to Sin City's Strip!
Here's some shots, even though "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"...

We've been to the Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat at Mirage before but it's always nice to see again, especially when it's a Comp!











Here's an example of the portions at the Hash House A Go Go, Imperial Palace. No wonder a favourite of locals.





At the Atrium in the Mirage












An elaborate bike at Treasure Island





Shots from inside the new City Center shopping mall Crystals








Views outside City Center. We always try to visit the new places in Vegas. This time it was the Aria hotel here at City Center. Other times it was the M Resort & Red Rock Station when they were newly opened.







Night shots.









At the Peppermill Diner & Fireside Lounge. Try the Scorpion...64 oz of boooze (6 shots) mix & ice cream for $18!
The quintesential Vegas 1970's neon lounge!















What's Vegas without an Elvis Wedding?








Views from inside the room at Mirage











Finally got to see the Pirate Show this time at Treasure Island











Wife Lynn with my aunt & uncle at the famous sign



Gondola ride at the Venetian



The Cats of the Secret Garden



A showgirl with Freddy K at Harrah's



The Star Trek Experience at the Hilton is gone but at this other trip, Freddy K joined the crew of the Enterprise!
There's a new CSI Experience at MGM, something to do another time.




The Minus 5 Experience at Mandalay Bay. It really is -5 degrees celcius inside this ice bar!



Here's my video with footage from other Vegas adventures that I posted in 2008.
