So many photo opportunities when near Paris in Las Vegas. Also, I always like to park my car within view of the Eiffel Tower. 🙂

Cosmopolitan II
Lucky Cat
For a short time, the Cosmopolitan has an art installation called “Lucky Cat”. You meet Lucky Cat, you touch his paw for luck, and you receive your fortune. Some fortunes come with a prize – mine was ten dollars in slot play. My fortune was “Make the most of what you’re given”. That is great advice for anyone.
Level 107 Lounge
I went to the Level 107 Lounge to get a drink, partake of the half priced appetizers, see DJ Girl 6, and photograph the nighttime view of the Vegas Strip from the Observation Deck. Overall, a very chill night. 🙂
Zion National Park – North Fork Virgin River
Part of the West Rim Trail runs along the Virgin River. This is the river (The North Fork) that runs through Zion Canyon and creates a lovely background noise of running water over rocks. At a few points, the trail provides river access so you can get next to or in the river for some fun.
Zion National Park – West Rim Trail – The Views
These photos will give you an idea of how beautiful this trail is. It made for a most awesome day!
Zion National Park – West Rim Trail – Trail Map
Today’s mission – get as far up West Rim Trail as possible. As you can tell from the pictures, this is a challenging trail, full of switchbacks. It is like a super stair climber at the gym. I would have liked to go farther, but my daylight was limited and I needed to save some energy for the drive back to Las Vegas. If you hike this trail, you will be rewarded with some awesome views of the Park.
Zion National Park – Deer
I was hiking the Grotto Trail, starting from the Zion Lodge, and walked upon several deer on the trail. The employees of the Lodge say that they like to hang out nearby. The deer mostly ignored me and went ahead with their lunch of green grass.
Zion National Park – Entrance
OK Internet Friends, it is now a rule that every time you visit Las Vegas, you must rent a car for a day trip to Zion National Park. It is only about a two and a half hour drive and the desert drive in Nevada is very scenic. Once you get to Zion National Park, pictures and words cannot describe the beauty of this place.
Wynn II
I had to use my final week of vacation at work or lose the vacation time on January 1st. I searched for a place of interest, and couldn’t beat the prices offered in Las Vegas. My first stop was the Wynn. One of my favorite hang-outs in Vegas.
