Las Vegas, NV

Started the day off with a walk to the Barbary Coast casino, where they gave a free shuttle ride to the Gold Coast (west of the main strip). Once again from there I walked over to the Rio, but this time to see an exhibition about the Titanic. With the audio tour, I got a detailed description of all the artifacts that were on display and how the Titanic was built. Unfortunately it told very little of what happened on the night of sinking. Nonetheless it took me over 2 hours to walk through and was well worth the effort. From the Rio I walked back to the Imperial Palace casino, as they have an Automobile Collection Museum. Here there were about 350 cars ranging from1920 vintages to Kombis and celebrity’s cars ie Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and a Popemobile. I wouldn’t call myself a car buff, but these were some finer vehicles. And price? All the cars on display were for sale, though the cheapest was around $200,000 – the most expensive was closer to $2 million.

I picked up a snack for dinner on the walk back home. Once there I had a shower before walking over to the Hard Rock to do in Vegas what everyone is there to do – gamble. I sat at a blackjack table and was up and down all night. At 2 am I left (after 4 hours) only $20 the worse.
