Mandalay Bay Las Vegas Shoppes at the Palazzo

The fall season is here in the Las Vegas Valley.  The usual autumn trees are almost non-existent; however, what dots our desert in non-typical autumn colors are flowering Lantana, Bottle Brush bushes, various Cactus Prickly Pears, and yes, the devious yellow Ragweed....all tell locals fall is here.  Our days are still warm to most visitors; however, to the locals, it is cooling down, which means we get to spend time outdoors without melting.  We get to start moving around, visiting our casinos, museums, and shops.  To move from the house into a 135 degree car to drive 15 minutes to a shopping mall on the strip just doesn't have appeal until the fall.  I, for one, am very glad it is finally here.  One of the things I love to do in the fall is visit The Strip.  As a local, I can take my time, visit any day I choose, move in and out of shops, of parking garages, without sweating my makeup off.  Naturally, to get me in the mood, I pick up the newspaper.  Well, actually, I go to my computer and look up the recent articles.  What peaked my interest was an article about a cute shop called Bauman Rare Books located in the Shoppes at the Palazzo in the Mandalay Bay.  Apparently, they have created a small sectional display inside the store commemorating past U.S. Presidents! Of course, me being a Vintage and Antique enthusiast, I must attend to see for myself.  I will offer pictures if allowed, after my visit.  I would love to share with you US President's items and to share a little Antiquarian enlightenment.   Here's is the website I found if you would like to know more, perhaps would like to pick up a rare book or two........ maybe you will visit before I do and drop me a line!  I'll check back with ya'll later.......-=brenda    BWs Vintage Collectibles (and more!)
