Bling Bling Las Vegas shows no signs of slowin' down....

Earlier this week, my niece and her husband came to visit. It was a short stay and it was capped off with the last evening a trip to the Las Vegas Strip....I stayed home mind you....

A short trip went into a 4 hour journey to discover the Treasure Island Pirate ship is currently being defended by Bikini clad women and the walking among the other tourists is like swimming upstream for a Salmon who is spawning....a fight to the finish is the better man who lives after ALL THAT. Tired, exhausted for the most part, they eventually made their way to the Henderson area for rest and respite.

The last morning, during breakfast of peanut butter pancakes and apple juice, I was shocked to hear how many people were still visiting Las Vegas this time of year!  I would think it a crossed off destination as the school has started in many states across America.

Las Vegas, I suppose, is the convention center of the universe and is a main booking destination for many huge companies and training seminar ventures.  It is not only a destination for sitting by the pool in the summer, it is a destination where you are allowed to play inside or outside or both year round.

With children in tow or with grown children partying with you to celebrate a 50 yr anniversary...there is plenty of magic left in Las Vegas...whether school comes or goes, you can always count on the Las Vegas Strip to arouse your senses, burn your toes from walking long distances, or gently take your hard earned cash....and that is all before you get out of the hotel....

Here's my locals tip for the month: 
Buffet prices are great at the Fiesta in Henderson, so is the nightly stay.  $29.00????
who has a room for $29.00?  and a 2 for 1 buffet for $8.99?

A short drive from downtown Las Vegas, a quick jaunt over the 215 East, and you will be at the Fiesta enjoying an old fashioned local casino and old fashioned prices which made this area famous....

There are no signs of slowin down this fall for Las Vegas.  If you are waiting to give us a call, try calling before the holidays! Prices are enticing, and especially the Fiesta Resort and Casino in Henderson, you will thoroughly enjoy your stay.

Plenty of bling for everyone, anytime of year,

Las Vegas Fremont Street Lights...Camera....No action

Whah.  That's all I've got to say.  Ever been politely uninvited to the most happenin' place in Las Vegas?   Well.....I was.  Imagine this:  Family is in town.  Long lost daughter I gave up on for weeks because she never answers my texts....and her fiance...visiting, here, Henderson or Las Vegas (for most of you know that City so well).  Me, sitting at home, with full makeup and beautifully done hair...just waiting....and waiting...took a nap....and waited some more.   Text, I finally get one, my daughter and her fiance text and ask if I can pick them up and 'we' can go to Fremont, Old strip.   Me, excited, ready in less than 5 minutes and out the door..Don't care if it is 10:00pm......I pick them up, we get gas (that's a whole other story cause I have a locking gas cap....) and I drive the speed limit of 65mph the entire 15 miles...for me, is an eternity....laughing and having a great time, we cracks jokes like there is no tomorrow....Boy, how'd I get so lucky....me, anticipating fun...and funny, I don't feel my vintage age.....I drive them around the best wedding chapel on 4th and Gass, show them the drive-thru wedding menu...took pictures....as I drive a little closer to the Golden Nugget.....I kept talking about their new upgrades and the shark pool, etc....but I kept hearing in the back recesses of my mind....someone saying, "you can drop us off here"   "just drop us off here mom'   but while I was talking, I drove up to the ticket window and was issued a ticket....I was so excited..... and kept talking....but then....like out of a movie, a God like voice entered my ears and rang into my head....a woman's voice "mom, now you are going to have to pay for dropping us off!!  why did you do that?"     'You could have dropped us off at the door and saved money..."  then it hit me.......the "WE" in the text I received at home was "THEM" and I was pretty quick for a save as I said, "no way, I'm going with you!!"   well, after that volley of the ball hit the net, another play came at me, "mom, we're going to stay out really late, you won't want to be out that late..." and then came a spike that won a point, "Mom, of course if you want to stay out for 3 or 4 hours...." what could I do at that point? How embarrassing....so, I did what any uninvited gracious host and taxi cab driver would do, drove out of the parking lot (explained my error to the parking attendant who let me out for free) went over to the front door, and dropped off my "children"...my son was with them too.  It occurred to me, the new generation is up and running and I am gradually moving towards the middle....I guess I am Mid-Century.  I suppose it is fitting my favorite hobby of collecting small Vintage and Mid-Century smalls and putting them back into circulation has developed into something that keeps me so busy....I hardly gave it a thought that ALL my children were grown....when did that happen and how did that happen? So, the next morning my Mid-Century body was feeling well rested and ready to rock the estate sales.....while all the "kids" were nursing hangovers and unders.....heh heh heh....lol lol lol.......yep, my age is showing and boy, I need to send them all a 'thank you' for uninviting me to the party!!!!!   Whooooo, dodged a bullet there.  Come visit and see the fantastic finds this weekend!!   No estate sales, darn, but did make it to several moving sales.....have any youngsters and hate to pay the new prices on helmets, gloves, blades? come visit for great prices....buy early, Christmas is coming......visit my virtual store for lots of great things...

Whew, it rained in Las Vegas! Nice

Whew, and it's a good thing that it rained in Henderson, Las Vegas, and anywhere here in the desert.   I was on the verge of melting into my shoes this weekend while visiting estate sales.  When you get into your car and you burn the tips of your fingers to turn your steering wheel.....that's too hot.  When you get into your car and it doesn't cool off for 25 minutes....that's too hot.  The worst of it is when you finally break down and eat a chocolate bar....and it melts in your hands.....you remember you should have had a V8 or chosen M & Ms.  What I should have done was visit Ethel M's Chocolate Factory in Henderson and ate my candy INSIDE where there is air conditioning.  The past two weekends have not been very exciting here in the Las Vegas area for finding unique vintage treasure, but I did meet some wonderful people along the hunt.  I found the cutest plush bears, one of my favorites is the "Las Vegas" bear, he's all white holding a pillow that is embroidered, states "Las Vegas.."   ... Actually, one vintage couple followed me to every destination.  Every time I turned around, there they were, in the red truck...following me around the house/sale.....closer to me than my poodle at dinner time. If I picked up a Tuscan Landscape Pitcher, they'd pick it up after me...if I picked up a Rhinestone brooch, they'd be in the same box as I... I guess they thought I was the one to watch as I worked my way around delicate china and glass.  As soon as I made moves toward the door, they would follow me out and jump in their truck, and again, they'd show up at the next one....they did pretty good speed wise at driving for being that vintage age and all.... just don't know why we all didn't hitch rides together and save on gas.  Speaking of gas (for the car) I found a station in Henderson that charged $3.38 a gallon.  I was thrilled. I need to be riding a Harley, speaking of, see below Christmas "Letters to Santa" Harley Davidson rider ornament..... I digress......I spent the majority of the weekend putting additional items into my store, BWs Vintage Collectibles, stores.ebay.com/bwsvintagecollectibles...I am going to finish up adding all of my Vintage and Mid-century items this next week.

Be sure to check out this bear!!!!   -=brenda
