we wanted to go to the neon museum but it was sold out for the day.
they still have so many of those old signs up in the city.
and then they have a lot of new architecture being built.
we did go back in time a little bit at jerry’s nugget casino, in north las vegas.
you can’t play that machine but they do have some slot machines in one corner that pay in quarters. i had forgotten how loud that sound of coins hitting the metal tray was. they also make your hands dirty touching the coins. we didn’t win any money so we didn’t have that problem. darn.
i had seen an article in the la times about how good their food was in the coffee shop. and it was good. that good quality coffee shop food of the past.
their story on the menu.
oops, we didn’t and then saw these on the way out. darn.
a sign only in vegas.
we ate at mon ami gabi that night. we shared the skate. delicious! espresso martini, delicious!
here’s the view from the rail on the outside patio as we ate. oops, is that the fountains in the background?
i had to get this picture in.
haha.
i think i have one more post of the drive home.
stay tuned
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
I love the shots of the neon signs- reminds me of the old days when we visited Mom and Dad. Ray’s in the wilds of Malibu right now teaching a Men’s workshop so he won’t notice the fountains until Monday. Happy gambling and safe travels home.
Good nostalgic look at the old signs. I played many of those old slots years ago. I would like to go to Jerry’s Nugget Casino and play the ones that drop quarters just for the fun of it. I’m going to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving, I’ll see if Chad will take me there. Thanks for the memories.
Sorry you had to miss the Neon Museum; I see another trip to Vegas in your future. What is the weird structure that is all out of focus? Loved the shot of Jerry playing the slots, but even more so Jerry dwarfed by the leggy lady. I want to go to Sin City too to visit Jerry&Jerry’s Casino and the Neon Museum. Love, sis Celia
OH goodness that last picture! That’s in the area where your tattoo shop is right?
