Tropicana



December 2014 - Las Vegas NV

We were really looking forward to attending the JFK exhibit at the Tropicana earlier this month.
It was disappointing and at a cost of $47 for two of us, we spent less than an hour viewing the displays.

I did a separate post on the First Lady dresses/gowns.

The airplane sitting outside the casino was a real draw to the exhibit.

The Oval Office




 The best parts of the exhibits were the plane and cars.

Song-ography



This week's suggestion is Seasons of Love from Rent.


Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments, oh dear
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

This is our third Christmas away from home for Christmas, all spent in Las Vegas before moving on to sunnier climes.

2012 - we rented a condo for two months and this was our view. We stayed for two months.


It takes "All Kinds of Kinds".



2013 - we were in a timeshare and spent the day with friends.
This was our view from the condo. We only spent two weeks in Vegas.




2014 we are in a timeshare again and our friends are also here. This year we cooked dinner.
