Sights From Las Vegas

Let me first say, if you are going to Las Vegas in the next couple of years and have an interest in the Titanic, you MUST SEE the Titanic artifact display at the Luxor Hotel & Casino. It is fabulous,  in my opinion. (Hubby thought it was OK.) The display will be at the Luxor for ten years because of the size of some of the displayed pieces recovered from the bottom of the ocean. I felt there was a good number of recovered items on display as well as an interesting way of displaying them and telling the story of the Titanic, its fate and that of the passengers.

As most of you know we are here in Vegas to see the PBR, Professional Bull Riders Final Championship. And if we are seeing a rodeo, you might be expecting more boots and butts. It is much easier to get unsuspecting photos of boots and butts outdoors in a casual atmosphere. There isn't anything casual about the PBR in Vegas. I also realized, if I am taking pictures, I am not watching the bulls & the riders. Therefore, I don't have a lot of photos from which to choose for this posting. I took photos the first night, but decided to watch the rodeo the second night.

So here are some photos from Vegas...

 This Jelly Belly statue is inside the front doors of the hotel & casino

 Some of the pyrotechnics at the opening ceremony

Some of the advertising prior to the rodeo

 A few of the cowboys waiting their turn to ride

 How many cowboys does it take to get a rider & bull ready for an 8 second performance?  Four in this instance.

 Some butt

 One of the 40 bull riders riding for the prize of a million dollars

And a requisite boot photo

The lack of boots & butts photos is NOT because there weren't any available. It is because I wasn't as inconspicuous as I would have liked.
