A beautiful day
I wait at the walk-up bar
At New York-New York.
The spring air is dry
As misters spray overhead —
Makes the air special.
The gaming goes on
Much to her delight inside
The casino halls.
My pint of Bass Ale
Getting low in the glass mug —
Time to order food.

Computer Art by kenne (Las Vegas, February 5, 2018)
Visitors
to Las Vegas
can be seen
standing
and waiting,
some up to
30 minutes
just to see
the fountains
of Bellagio,
truly one
of the best
free shows
in Vegas,
beautifully
choreographed to
Frank Sinatra singing
“One Singular Sensation.”
One moment
in its presence
provides a
thrilling
combination
in every move
as the water
rockets and
dances in front
of the Vegas
Eiffel Towel.

And if blue is an illusion,
what will become of innocence?
What will become of the heart
if Love has no arrows?

Paris Las Vegas — View from Bellagio by kenne
I’ve never been to Paris
so Paris Las Vegas
will have to do for now.
I’ve also been to Paris, Texas
where I once conducted
an in-service, not much there.
We stayed in New York New York,
the pool was drained and the
casino computers went down.
Still, my favorite Vegas past time
is people watching especially
topless women walking the Strip.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area Outside Las Vegas, Nevada — Images by kenne
(Click on any of the images to see larger view in a slideshow format.)
I came to the canyon seeking an escape
from the manmade strip of bright lights.
Decade old Scenic wildfire still fenced-off.
Vegas influenced exhibits at the visitors
center providing impressive vistas of
the northern Mojave Desert.
Hiking the rocks and desert floor
ending the day on the 13 mile Scenic Drive.
Collecting my winning in nature’s house
the freeway takes me back
to where the house rules,
I lose.

Red Rock Canyon (View along the 13-mile Scenic Loop Road) — Panoramas by kenne
There are many beautiful scenic views in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. In September of 2006 a wildfire burned nearly 2,000 acres. The blaze, dubbed the Scenic Fire, burned rugged terrain inside the area’s 13-mile Scenic Loop Road, less than two miles west of the Red Rock Canyon visitors center.
I was able to get in some hiking while photographing this beautiful canyon in the Mojave Desert north of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Runners In The Fremont Street Experience
— Images & Video by kenne
Last weekend we spent three days in Las Vegas and as we sometimes do chose to stay on Fremont Street in downtown rather than out on the “strip”. While there, I watch part of the Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon taking place on the streets of Vegas, which included running through the Fremont Street Experience area downtown. And, since the event took place in the late afternoon, early evening, the marathon diffidently had that Vegas feel under the bright lights for the people watching and the 30,000 runners.
You can see some of the action in the video below.
