Slowest developing still active blog?

Anyway,  Now, what seems like a long time ago, Dawn and I went to Vegas on our Cross country adventure.  It was Halloween night, and I was excited.  Halloween is one of my favorite hollidays, and I like to dress up for it.  I expected Vegas to go all out for Halloween, and honestly, I was a little disappointed.  Not that many of the tourists there didn't dress up, it's more about how there was not much imagination to their costume choices.  I one point I thought if I see another slutty Nurse/Dorothy/Alice, I may just lose it.

Anyway, on to the picture part of the blog:

Please note, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so that will severely limit the photos I'm going to show you.
Me and my sister.
Me and Dawn.
The Chihuly ceiling at the Belagio.  I think everyone takes this picture.
The Old New Frontier.  It's not lit and this is the dead of night.  It took the steady hand of Dawn to capture the picture, and a little editing in iPhoto to bring out the image.  I like this photo because it really shows the Frontier's vintage.  Look at the "cowboy" style in the Frontier name, the diamonds leading up the sign.  The peculiar "r" at the top.  At one point this was the height of cool.  Or maybe not.  Vegas isn't really on the forefront of design, but does an excellent job of copying others.  (The New York, New York, Paris, Venetian, MGM Grand.  Not new ideas just scaled down cut and pastes of others.)  Anyway, it stands in front of an empty lot now.  We'll see what fills it in.
I'll let you guess what lead to this photo,
