    NO Red White ‘n Boom draws comments
    I am re-posting this article because there were several comments that could use more exposure. If you didn’t know, Clark County cancelled its annual Red White n’ Boom Fireworks display at Desert Breeze Park this year. They claimed that it was too expensive – I’m sure it does cost a fair share of the taxpayer’s money. But it might be interesting...

    The Meaning of Memorial Day
    Memorial Day was originally called "Decoration Day" and was officially declared on May 5, 1868 as a day of remembrance for those who had died in service to our country. If your American history is foggy, 1868 was just 3 years after the Civil War. Gen.

    Bellagio, Chinese New Year, & The Golden Pig
    Yes, I know the Bellagio is not exactly "off the strip," but the conservatory there is so fine and the fact that it costs nothing to meander in wonder and awe, makes it worth a spot on my blog.
