Las Vegas Weekend - Part 1
It was the Columbus Day weekend, so Dawn and I joined friends Michael & Sisko and Doug & Candy and headed off to Las Vegas to celebrate Sisko’s birthday. It was a “big one” so Michael had arranged for her to drive an Indy-style race car on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a long-time fantasy. We were all invited to be part of the event and I brought along my camera to photograph it all.
Needless to say, Dawn and I took lots of photos, too many for one album, so I’ve divided some of my favorites into two groups. The first album, linked to this post, contains images taken in the hotel (Paris) and along the strip; at the Wynn where we enjoyed 6th row center seats for Spamalot, a hilarious musical based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail; and at dinner after the race as guests of friend Doug Roberts at Lowery’s Prime Rib. The next post will link to images taken at Las Vegas Motor Speedway before, during and after Sisko’s 143 mph streak around the track!

Doug, these are fantastic! I wish I had been there!!
Another nice set of images. You have a keen eye, Doug. Very nice work. Can't wait to see the images from the LV Motor Speedway.
Awesome photography! Makes me want to grab my camera and head for Vegas! Was there much set up for these shots? Any special equipment (lights, reflectors)?
A Great view of Sin City from the Picasso of Pictures!
Beatiful work, Doug! Bravo!
Thanks all! I'm flattered!
Steven, actually there was no set up, lighting or anything for these. They were shot "on the fly" (literally; wifey had me at a gallop to walk from Paris to the Wynn and back in time to leave for our flight home.) So these were all shot "on the run" and hand held. Glad you enjoyed them!
Thanks all of you. My head may explode any minute!

Awesome pictures!!! Looks like great weather too!!!
Beautiful shots Doug! You have the eye!
Another great collection of photos. THAT'S what I'm talking about!
I LOVE your pictures and always look forward to them. The one of the gondola should be a postcard or an ad for the hotel!!!
Well, thanks, guys and gals! I do enjoy photography, so maybe when I retire I'll have a "fall back." But to be honest, I still have much to learn. Still, I love the positive feedback and constructive critique as well.

Excellent work!! And on just a walk down the strip? Wow!!
Looking forward to Part 2.
