A continuation from my last post of photos from late March 2003 trip to Las Vegas.
The Stardust was demolished shortly after this picture was taken (within about a year)...
This Siegfried and Roy act was discontinued a few months later due to the tiger attack on Roy. I took pictures of one of the tigers below. Not sure if this tiger was the culprit.
One of my friends was a floor manager at Cesar's Palace. He started out as a blackjack dealer. Good dealers can sometimes clear over $100K in tips annually, but it's a tough job that requires sharp and quick thinking.
Spent some time at the Mandalay Bay back in 2003 as well. It's the scene of the infamous shooting in Las Vegas Oct 3, 2017 that killed nearly 60 people and wounded 500.
A number of structures that are now landmarks didn't exist yet on this trip (such as the Trump Casino). One of the things that struck me about the area was the open porn everywhere littered on the street. They don't call it sin city for nothing...
