Sizzling in the Valley of Fire

Shane — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:52:50 +0000

Have you ever wanted to visit Mars or some other strange and wonderful planet? Well that is apparently where I ended up on this +45 degree celcius day. This valley was loaded with gigantic, martian red, orange and white rocks as far as you could see. I would not be surprised if many space movies were filmed here. Please note that the objects are a lot larger than they appear. CLICK ON THE “Read more: Sizzling in the Valley of Fire” to see all the pictures.

It is hard to tell from this photo but that is actually 4 miles of valley behind me.

A Wedding Party in the Valley of Fire (3 other limos and a hummer limo were out of picture).

Checkout the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. It looks like a family oriented Disney-like experience… but you will find all the sin one could wish for in this fortress of glorious sin .

Water Tube Massage in Las Vegas

Shane — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:34:40 +0000

You never stop seeing something new when roaming the Labrynthe of Las Vegas. Here is a photo of a Water Tube / Bed Massager. They insert you into a tube / bag and then you are massaged with moving water and high-powered water jets. Apparently, this is pretty amazing… I remain skeptical at this point and will check this out another day if I can find it again.
