On the way to Rancho Santa Fe



About 350 miles (560 km) from our house, 
through mostly desert, a few small towns and a couple of Indian Reservations....

There is Las Vegas



It's out in nowhere.  In the middle of the Desert. It shouldn't even be there.  But it has everything.  The Statue of Liberty,




The Eiffel Tower




La Belle Epoque Architecture




The Sphinx and the Great Pyramid
and so much more




 And the Bellagio, the ultimate Las Vegas Hotel experience with its famous dancing fountains. A fabulous, ever changing spectacle of  fountains dancing to Opera, Classical and Broadway tunes.

Watching it from the balustrades, street side, the show is free, every 15 minutes in the evening and every 1/2 hour during the day.

Or you can splurge and watch the show from one of the award winning dining rooms at the grand Bellagio.




Now on to California where our friends are waiting for us.
