On the Ninth Day of your Ten Day Las Vegas Fling, The Question Of The Day still remains unanswered as your Final Midnight is in sight -- What Marvelously Magnificent Mischief are you and your very lovely lady prepared to instigate?
Whatever you two plan to do tonight -- Make It Legendary -- Make It Notorious -- And Make It Happen At The Mirage!
22 years ago, BG, Bernie, and I celebrate our last dinner here at what was then a classic Chinese restaurant. Clearly The Mirage has changed greatly since our last visit.
5x5" minis of my favorite pieces.
Produced for Gardenscape in Saskatoon SK Canada March 2014. Inspired by my old stomping grounds. : )
Don't you think this was what Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour really had in mind on their merry way on the 'Road To Bali.'
However, rather than Bob, Bing, and Dorothy enjoying their numerous rounds of frozen Strawberry-Mango Margaritas at the luxurious bar, I'd strongly recommend the three of them have those frozen margaritas out on the patio overlooking the lush tropical Mandalay Bay Beach.
Yes I know your very lovely lady is busy back at the Monte Carlo cabana pool working on her golden suntan, but perhaps you could phone her and see if she'd be of a mind to taxi up here so that she may pose nice and pretty for your camera against the backdrop of this lush tropical junglescape. What do you think...
Don't you wish your very lovely lady was out here with you on Flickr Camera Safari instead of napping and sun-bathing back at the Monte Carlo cabana pool? I can totally Dig It! After all, this is your last opportunity to walk the full length of the Las Vegas Strip from Mandalay Bay all the way north to the SLS/Sahara and not have to worry too much about the time. For the last eight days you two haven't spent much time thinking about what time it is. Y'all had all the time in the world. But in about an hour you're going to have to find a nice quiet place to sit down and call Bell Trans to confirm your 3:30pm airport shuttle pick-up tomorrow at the Monte Carlo. Sometime around 6pm, you and your very lovely lady will need to find someplace where you two can print out your boarding passes and do your 24 hour early check-in for your Frontier Airlines flight back to Denver International Airport.
Now y'all have to start thinking about Time -- Because it's starting to run out.
So don't you think now would be a really good time to start looking for a nice cocktail lounge where you can sit and do what you need to do. Don't wait until it's Happy Hour and all the bars are busy -- So go and Do It right now. There's Gilley's or Senor Frog's at Treasure Island. There's El Segundo Sol over there at the Fashion Show Mall. You can go to Parasol-Down or to Parasol-Up at The Wynn. Or you can go to the Eastside Lounge at The Encore. You can always back-track and go to RhumBAR at The Mirage.
Don't be sad or mad, your ten day Las Vegas Fling is not over yet and Life Is Still Good Here! Can You DIG It!
Gentlemen -- If you can find a more appropriate Las Vegas Strip destination where you can feel free to unleash your inner Ernest Hemingway and invite that alter ego to come out to Play, then get there right now, otherwise the Mandarin Oriental is where you and your very lovely lady need to be for your 10 day Vegas Vacation. Can You Dig It!
Isn't it rather inconvenient as hell that your beloved Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino is slowly undergoing a metamorphosis into what will one day become the PARK MGM! In the meantime, do not be mad or sad to watch the grand old Monte Carlo disappear -- Life Is Still Good at the grand old New York-New York Hotel & Casino!

The PARK is the most unique public space, other than The LINQ, on the Las Vegas Strip. So you and your very lovely lady need to come here for a leisurely visit -- have lunch or dinner -- take pretty pictures of your lovely lady -- visit with the tall blissful woman dancing in The PARK. And if you chance upon a street band on stage playing Jazz or Latin music that excites you, then do not be bashful of dancing with your woman. This is what excited couples do here on the Las Vegas Strip!

22 years ago, BG, Bernie, and I visited the Vegas Strip for the first time. Treasure Island was a much different place way back then. The Sands Hotel & Casino, where Frank, Dean, and Sammy Jr. held Court in the showroom, was still doing brisk business across the street to the east. The Frontier Hotel & Casino, across the street to the north, had Gilley's Saloon and had the best BBQ on the Vegas Strip. The Fashion Show Mall was young just like the newly opened Treasure Island. The Dunes Hotel & Casino had just been blown-up to make way for construction for the Bellagio. Caesars Palace only had two of its present five resort towers. Excalibur and Bally's were two of the largest hotels in the world back then. Wayne Newton was holding Court at the Stardust. The Landmark Hotel & Casino hadn't been blown-up yet. The Luxor and the New York-New York hadn't been built yet. The Westward-Ho Hotel & Casino had $1 foot-long hotdogs and cheap frozen Margaritas. The New Tropicana was the Old Tropicana back then. Planet Hollywood was the Old Aladdin Hotel & Casino back then. Clearly much has greatly changed on the Vegas Strip since BG, Bernie, and I first arrived at the Old McCarran International Airport on Continental Airlines 22 years ago. One thing, however, hasn't changed over the years -- Life Is Still Good Here!

The garden at Sissinghurst Castle in the Weald of Kent, near Sissinghurst village, is owned and maintained by the National Trust. It is among the most famous gardens in England.
Sissinghurst's garden was created in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West, poet and gardening writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, author and diplomat. Sackville-West was a writer on the fringes of the Bloomsbury Group who found her greatest popularity in the weekly columns she contributed as gardening correspondent of The Observer, which incidentally—for she never touted it—made her own garden famous. The garden itself is designed as a series of "rooms", each with a different character of colour and/or theme, the walls being high clipped hedges and many pink brick walls. The rooms and "doors" are so arranged that, as one enjoys the beauty in a given room, one suddenly discovers a new vista into another part of the garden, making a walk a series of discoveries that keeps leading one into yet another area of the garden. Nicolson spent his efforts coming up with interesting new interconnections, while Sackville-West focused on making the flowers in the interior of each room exciting.
For Sackville-West, Sissinghurst and its garden rooms came to be a poignant and romantic substitute for Knole, reputedly the largest house in Britain, which as the only child of Lionel, the 3rd Lord Sackville she would have inherited had she been a male, but which had passed to her cousin as the male heir.
The site is ancient— "hurst" is the Saxon term for "an enclosed wood". A manorhouse with a three-armed moat was built here in the Middle Ages. By 1305, Sissinghurst was impressive enough for King Edward I to spend the night. In 1490, Thomas Baker purchased Sissinghurst.The house was given a new brick gatehouse in the 1530s by Sir John Baker, one of Henry VIII's Privy Councillors, and hugely enlarged in the 1560s by his son Sir Richard Baker, when it became the centre of a 700-acre (2.8 km2) deer park. In 1573, Queen Elizabeth I spent three nights at Sissinghurst.

Gents — Originally you and your very lovely lady were supposed to celebrate your April birthday by doing a Fabulous Fling on the Vegas Strip. But then COVID-19 happened and then someone went and shut down the entire state of Nevada -- Including Las Vegas! And now you are here three months later on the Fabulous Las Vegas Strip doing a Solo Fling -- So what do you think about the state of affairs now?
So now you have to rediscover the Fabulous Vegas Strip all over again! Do so because you are the only person who can convince your very lovely lady to come out and Play. And you are the best guide person to show your lovely woman the COVID-19 rules for airline travel, hotels, nightclubs, shows, and for restaurants and bars. This is why you are here -- To Learn!
So now that you are here on the luxurious resort campus of The Wynn and The Encore, you need to check out all of the top restaurants and lounges still operating. You need to check out their menus and operating hours to see if there's a dining or lounging destination you might want to bring your very lovely lady to once this COVID-19 global pandemic has been tackled. 😷🤔
So let's go and have a closer look at the MIZUMI Japanese Restaurant and Lakeside Patio. Come back later on tonight all dressed up Business Casual in your travel-ready Blue Blazer. Tell the lovely hostess that you want a romantic dinner table along the water's edge of the Lake Of Dreams. Watch the summer sun fade behind the gleaming Wynn resort tower. And when your very lovely lady calls you from home later tonight, do be prepared to tell her the story of your romantic solo dinner adventure! 😷
Yes I know your very lovely lady is busy back at the Monte Carlo cabana pool working on her golden suntan, but perhaps you could phone her and see if she'd be of a mind to taxi up here so that she may pose nice and pretty for your camera against the backdrop of this lush tropical junglescape. What do you think...
a special kind of landscape… (the black square…)

This is where you need to be while your very lovely lady is busy laying out at the cabaña pool back at the Monte Carlo. Have a whiskey or two or three before you get started on your daily Flickr camera safari. Use this quiet time to think about how you and your very lovely lady want to spend the remaining three nights and four days on the Las Vegas Strip. Bring your very lovely lady back here late at night to watch the baby grand pianos do battle. Make the Bar At Times Square your home for Dueling Pianos.

The little iris cultivars (4-6 inches tall) have been up for a couple of weeks, but I've found them tough to shoot - they're usually in colorful, but isolated, clumps against an otherwise barren brown gardenscape. But I found this one standing happily in the rain yesterday and the surrounding browns have given way to wildly bright greens.

Today Is A Big Day! Your Flickr Friend and his family are arriving from the Bay Area this afternoon and you want to be there at check-in to welcome them to the Luxurious Fontainebleau Las Vegas. 😀 At the same time, you also need to maximize your three days here at the Fontainebleau. You can’t possibly hope to explore every restaurant, bar, lounge, and shop on this huge resort campus! And you most certainly won’t be luxuriating out at the cabana pools to work on your golden suntan, but you do need to explore as many touch points as possible in the insider time you have left. Do try to find some time today for doing ‘Island Time’ at the bar at the Collins.
So let’s try to get started. 😎🌞
Just before the Coronavirus Global Pandemic hit Las Vegas in 2019, there were rumors about the Fontainebleau being blown up, that the big blue building would never be completed -- that the project was a failure! 😧 But It Survived!
You and your lovely lady were here in 2007, 2008, and 2009 when this big blue building was still under construction and was beginning to rise high above the Sahara, the Riviera, and far higher than Circus-Circus on the North Las Vegas Strip. You and your lady watched and knew way back then that someday the Fontainebleau might be even taller and even more grand than the unfinished observation tower of the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino! 😃 You promised yourself that one day you would take your lovely lady drinking, dining, and dancing at the best steakhouse and at the best nightclubs in that big blue building -- and that you would do so because you love the Fabulous Fontainebleau! 💙🌹So here and now in 2025, when are you going to fulfill that promise you made to yourself? 😏

No — Your buddy, Thomas Hawk, is not down there.👇 But if your buddy was attending a business seminar down there in one of those nice swanky meeting rooms, he and his fellow attendees would be only a few minutes away from luxuriating in one of the several nearby cabana pools. 😎🌞🍺
It has taken nearly 20 years for the Fontainebleau Las Vegas to finally arrive on the North Vegas Strip! Does being here right now cause you to regret not booking two or maybe three extra nights at the Fontainebleau? It should — Because surely only two nights at the Fabulous Fontainebleau will never be enough luxury time for either you, or your very lovely lady back home. 😌 Next time — Stay Longer!
In 1993, you invited your very lovely lady, and her very lovely best girlfriend, to ‘Do Vegas!’ It was to be the first Vegas Visit for all three of you, but there was no question as to where the three of you would do your first Vegas Venture! Y’all wanted to stay at The Mirage! 😎🍹
The Mirage Resort & Casino had just opened four years earlier in 1989, and was already the World’s Biggest & Greatest Casino Hotel, but then in 1993, Steve Wynn opened Treasure Island as a sister Casino hotel to the adjacent Mirage. Ultimately the three of you decided to book Treasure Island and spent plenty of time playing in both casinos. 😈
Over the course of 28 years of ‘Doing Vegas,’ you and your very lovely lady have created a lot of history between the Mirage and Treasure Island. The Mirage has always been your Happy Place! 😎 So surely it’s spooky for you to see the present sad state of affairs of the Mirage. 😥 History will determine if the very late reopening of the Mirage was a good or bad decision. So it’s highly unlikely your very lovely lady would break her self-imposed ten month Coronavirus Quarantine to fly down here to try to rescue the Mirage — especially if low guest traffic force the Casino to shut down during the weekdays. 🤔
