While we were there it snowed the day before we headed to Red Rock Canyon (17 miles out of Vegas; BLM land). Locals flocked to the Canyon and lined the asphalt road (that runs through it) with the most amusing snow creations (eg, snowmen with tumbleweed hair). Otherwise, we leave Vegas for others.. the desert is the way to go!

However, Zion Nat'l Park and the Neon Museum are another matter! I like the plan to use LV as a place to sleep. Hmmm ...<br /><br />In a few weeks, my city will be hosting Super Bowl 46, an over-the-top, overly hyped event meant primarily for the 1% among us who're also football fans. I'm determined to use the time to meet people and participate however I can, so will be docent at a contemporary art exhibit called TURF and work on the half-time show. Pictures will result.<br /><br />Enjoy sleeping in Vegas, Bob!Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-60978606849952107672012-01-13T19:37:25.863-06:002012-01-13T19:37:25.863-06:00I was in Vegas two years ago for a conference.
