So after the Atomic testing Museum I ended up with more hours to kill than I had expected. I programmed the GPS in the rental for the Luxor and drove over there to see ‘Bodies: The Exhibition.’ This is an exhibition of dissected human bodies and various states of display. Some of detailed to show musculature, others focus on the organs, or other systems of the human body. It was quite interesting, but for my money I think I got a better deal from the Atomic Testing Museum. (certainly more bang for the buck.) Sadly like the Museum, no photography was allowed.

After visiting the Exhibition at the Luxor I returned to my room to shower and change into nicer clothes for dinner and the Concert. I drove to The South Point Casino and Hotel where I ate at their buffet. OH once again I was stuffed before I was finished. Truly, Vegas likes to feed you. I had more time to kill and I wondered around the casino for a bit.

Here is a photograph I took of a million dollars on display in the Casino. as you can see it doesn’t take up all that much space, but after all it is only a million dollars.

Here are a set of Slot machines that are themed on Star trek: The Original Series. Frankly all the advanced video slot machine leave me cold. I don’t know what combination are the winning combinations and frankly games of purse chance at not my bag baby.

While people played the games still from various episodes would display on the screens above them. (where you can see the orbiting Enterprise on the left.) Geek that I am I stood and played a game in my mind of how many still could I place. (Turned out to be quite a few.)

I wondered upstairs to the Bowling Alley and found a video game arcade, Ah, now this was more my speed. To my eternal delight I spotted the game pictured on the right. If you watched in the background at Pizza Planet in Toy Story you would have seen a game based on this very idea; Whack-a-mole but with chest bursters. I loved it in Toy Story and I positively giggled upon seeing that someone was un-PC enough to actually make one. I  moved towards the game to play it but a young boy I guess maybe 8 or so, dashed excitedly at the games. I stood back. Who was I to stand in the way of such fun and if had parents — I saw them there – that would allow him to play the game, then he NEEDED to play the agme.

I went back downstairs and passed the next forty minutes or so playing Blakcjack for money. As I have already noted, I left the table with $10 more than I had started. No bad for my first game ever.

By this time the doors had opened and I went in the Showroom to take my seat. I was way down front, an excellent position to watch the concert.

There was no opening act, Just Sheena Easton singing and chatting and interacting with the audience. This shot was done with little or no zoom, so you can get an impression of just how close I sat.

Sheena is now 51 and not the sex kitten of the 80’s anymore, that said I throughly enjoyed the show. She has a lively wit and sharp sense of humor along with her lovely singing voice.

I took plenty of photos, but she moved around a lot and has a very expressionistic face. These sort of people are not easy to photograph and have them look good. (just ask Joh McCain.)

I throughly enjoyed my trip to Sin City — even my sins were quite tamed and under control. I look forward to another trip someday with my sweetie-wife.
