Planet Hollywood and Valley of Fire, Nevada




Andy and Terry have driven to Las Vegas where they have a very nice room on the 37th floor of Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. 

Planet Hollywood is in the old Aladdin Hotel building right next to the Paris Hotel and casino. 

You get a pretty good view of south Las Vegas from up on the 37th floor. You can see the Luxor, the Excaliber, and the MGM Grand out there. This is a nice hotel right in the middle of the "Strip."

















Paris is right next door.




Andy gets tired of casinos quickly, so he takes Terry one hour north of town to visit Valley of Fire State Park.


It's full of red rock mountains. 


They take a little hike to search for Native American petroglyphs, and they find a lot of them among the rocks.





















Later, back in Las Vegas, after Terry has had a chance to win a little money at the casinos, they head for home.

Flowers





Andy and Terry have returned from their trips to Arizona and Las Vegas.


Unfortunately Andy neglected to take pictures while they were on the road.


They visited Terry's family in Tucson, and a week later they drove over to Buffalo Bill's Resort to see the famous Four Tops who were very popular in the 60's.




With no travel photos to show, Andy feels guilty so he has decided to share with you some photos from his own gardenIt's spring time and the plant life is beginning to look very attractive now.
