penguin chick pictureHI EVERYBODY!!

Pass, fold. Raise, call. Sounds like a bunch of nonsense to us penguins. But in America's Playground, it means a LOT. Phil and Angie went to Las Vegas and it looks like they had a really good time!

See you later!


VEGAS BABY!!!!
Nothing more need be said!

We arrived at our hotel around 11PM Vegas time on Friday.
The Excalibur Hotel & Casino
From our window, you can see New York, New York..
and the MGM Grand.
"Early" Saturday morning.
The slots are relatively quiet.
A lot of the slots are "theme-based."
And some have extra prizes with them.
Empty blackjack tables.
You sort of just drift "through" the casinos.
There is ALWAYS someone watching!
This kind of sums up Vegas in a nutshell!
New York, New York
We call this CastleAmerica
The strip during the early afternoon.
The Aladdin and Paris casinos.
The monorail to the 23rd Century!
Wall-o-M & M's!
Old Harley's don't die, they just turn into Chia Hogs!
The flag is made of Harley drive chains.
Don't look up!
Hey...it's the Paul Sr.
The Excalibur in the late afternoon.
The Bellagio Hotel and Casino.
Dancing fountains.
More dancing fountains.
The backdrop was designed by Angie's former employer.
The MGM Grand at night.
The Bellagio.
We went to dinner in the Desert Passage, just outside the Aladdin Hotel and watched this acrobat perform right next to us.

Nimble lady!
This was take just AFTER she shot an arrow standing upside down.
Is that really a ceiling?

A mini-Eiffel Tower at the Paris Casino.
The Strip at night.
The skeeball Queen.

Did it go in?
If skeeball doesn't do it for you, then you can always play with these!
