Las Vegas Freemont Street

On Friday we all went our separate ways until that afternoon. A friend of ours, George and his daughter came over to our hotel for a visit prior to their going to the Luxor to see a show. It was good to see him again and to meet his daughter.

Later that evening we took a taxi down to the Freemont Street Experience. Here are Nola and Catherine taking pictures.

There were lots of people milling around in the area with casinos on both sides of the street.

There was a street entertainer playing jazz saxophone and the girls really got into it.

There were two separate shows that we saw: "A Tribute to Queen" and “Doors Strange Days".” They project moving pictures and designs on the canopy above the street.

People were really grooving to the music on the speakers.

We went into the Golden Nugget to see the largest gold nugget ever found.

Below it was the Robin’s Nugget that was previously the largest nugget. I remember seeing this one years ago when I was in Las Vegas.

Saturday Wayne and I took the Monorail from the MGM to the Sahara and played blackjack for $1. We met the girls for dinner that night.
