    This place is Ron Lee's factory, cafe, shop, collection, and offices. Ron Lee has made hundreds of sculptures for Disney, Warner Brothers, Magic Mountain, and other companies. There is a vast display of his work. There is also viewing glass, which you can see a step-by-step process of his sculptures being made (hand crafted). Of course, all of the viewing was free. I was able to meet Ron Lee and have him sign my book that he published. The hours of operation are as follows:

    Monday - Friday (9am - 4pm)
    (Cafe closes at 4pm)
    Saturday (Closed)
    Sunday (Closed)

    The location is at:

    330 Carousel Parkway
    Henderson, NV 89014

    Ron Lee's web site is well put together and informative.

    Off the Path / Off the Wall: Visit the back gardens of Mandalay Bay

    We were just walking to the north of the Strip. We wanted to get in to the Mandalay swimming pool as the children wanted to swim (they ended up going to Circus Circus Swimming pool) as they are getting too hot from walking. We asked from the attendant if he could allow us to get in. It looked so much fun and exciting inside as there were waves on the pool and some children were having a blast. The attendant said that since we were not residents of Mandalay Bay Hotel, we were not allowed to get in.

    In frustration,we walked to the back of the hotel and found a beautiful garden with animals spouting water, water fountains and some tropical plants for shade.

    We took some pictures and headed back to the south of the Strip to swim at the Circus Circus Swimming Pool!

    I'm sure it just refers to the car -- but in Las Vegas you're never sure! Be sure to click on the picture for the full effect:)
    .
    One of the nice things is that all the large casinos on the strip have free parking in enormous garages. I must say you see some rather fancy cars there -- that's why this one caught my eye:)

    • Okay, we all have to go to the bathroom, right? Well, here are some that will make the experience not just a chore:

    Paris: prettiest by far (handpainted flowers growing up the sinks). I even took pictures in this one!
    Venetian: most impressive (dark wood and beautiful fixtures).
    Caesars: most comfortable (nice couches).
    Mandalay Bay: feel like you're at a resort in the South Pacific. Inside House of Blues, very colorful bathrooms featuring steel walls.
    Bellagio: Nice little individual lamps in each stall. Purse hook was to the side, which is safest. Autoflush--yay!

    Off the Path / Off the Wall: What is it, and is it...

    What is it, and is it illegal? You know those guys who stand on Las Vegas Boulevard trying to hand out fliers for strip clubs and escort services? They're canvassers. After much fighting with the city council, the canvassers appear to have won the right to pass out information. Even though most people complain that the fliers cause litter and the canvassers get in the way of pedestrians, we've noticed that if you just keep walking, they aren't aggressive at all. Of course, you could always take a brochure; we just won't take responsibility for anything that happens after that.

    Off the Path / Off the Wall: Taste the World!

    Not so much off the beaten path, but perhaps a little different. Coca Cola World Las Vegas (on the strip just a short distance from the MGM Grand, next door to M&Ms world) offer an experience called 'Tastes of the World'. For $7 you get two trays which contain 16 different drinks from around the globe (apparently each drink is only available in the country listed next to it)

    Incase my pictures don't work too well here is a list of the drinks we tried-

    1. Lilt - from UK
    2. Kin Cider - from Israel
    3. Stoney Ginger Beer - from South Africa
    4. Inca Kola - from Peru
    5. Vegitabeta - from Japan
    6. Mezzo Mix - from Germany
    7. Beverly - from Italy
    8. Smart Apple - from China
    9. Fanta Orange - from China
    10. Smart Watermelon - from China
    11. Fanta Passion fruit - from Argentina
    12. Kinley Lemon - from Israel
    13. Fanta Birch Beer - from USA
    14. Krest Gingerale - from Israel
    15. Fanta Kolita - from Costa Rica
    16. Lift Apple - from Mexico

    My personal favourite, probably because I am used to it, was Lilt from my home country, the UK. My least favourite was Beverly from Italy... it tasted like ear wax! URGH nasty!

    I would say if you are planning on doing this, don't buy an 'experience' each, it will make you feel sick. Me and my boyfriend shared the 16 drinks and couldn't manage them all before we started to feel sick. Still, if you're in that area its a fun little experience!

    Like most hotels on the Strip, the Flamingo Hotel has an exhibit that's consistent with the theme of the hotel. Here you will find an outdoor habitiat of flamingoes and other tropical birds.

    This is one of the best things they have ever built in Las Vegas: THE LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY!!!!! YEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    Go there and do the Richard Petty driving experience.....wwwooohohoooooo

    With 1,600 acres in the northeast portion of the Las Vegas Valley, the "Diamond in the Desert" has been deemed the most remarkable race complex in the world. Sports Illustrated called it the Racing Capital of the West.

    With more than a dozen different venues at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, ranging from go-karts to NASCAR Nextel Cup at the 1.5-mile superspeedway, there's something for everyone at the complex

    And is standing on the sidewalk on Las Vegas Blvd! Traffic was slow enough that I could get this shot as well as observe the impersonation -- it wasn't half bad!
