Imperial Palace Auto Collection
January 1, 2007
As my father is fascinated with old cars I took him to the Imperial Palace to see the Auto Collection.
It was really great exhibition – 350 antique, classic and special interest vehicles spanning a century and individually valued at up to $1.5 million.
The most interesting seemed to me a hot red 1923 Indian Big Chief two-wheeler. I could have one;)
New Las Vegas Marathon
November 30, 2006
Las vegas Marathon is organised every 1st Sunday of December. With its glitzy casinos, fashionable hotels the Las Vegas Strip caters for thrill-seeking crowds all year round. The race begins at 6am in the morning, taking advantage of lower temperatures. A spectacular fireworks display, accompanied by Elvis Presely’s Viva Las Vegas, kicks off this new version of the successful race, using the Strip as a race course for the first time in history.
The new 26.2 mile course begins at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the southern part of the Strip.
Besides US$400,000 in cash prizes, the marathon offers US$2.5 million for any man or woman to break the world record, as well as US$10,000 each to the first locals to cross the finish line.
