Early December 1999, Jamy and I went to Las Vegas for a weekend with two german gals, PatriCia and Melanie. Amazing what new casinos open from year to year! Especially European-themed casinos! An american doesn't have to leave the continent anymore to ride a gondola or go up the Eifel Tower! But, with all due respect, nothing beats the real thing! This series includes a couple of my old Vegas pictures that I've mixed in.

Caesar's Palace

Bellagio (left), Excalibur (center), Mirage (right)

The Harley Davidson Cafe

The Venetian

The Eifel Tower (left), The "Paris" Casino (center) and the Stratosphere Tower (right)

The Stratosphere has a rollercoaster around the top and high above, a "free-fall" for the really crazy.

The "New York" Casino, complete with Statue of Liberty and a Roller Coaster.

PatriCia and Melanie at Joshua Tree Park (on the way to Vegas) and riding cars inside Circus Circus.

Treasure Island Pirate, Jamy on carosell and Jamy being silly.

The golden MGM Lion guarding the entrance (left), Melanie (center) and Jamy (right) in front of Monte Carlo.

Some years ago $ 1 left at end of night! Jörg and Thomas "shared" it.

The "Chapel of the West" is where Jörg and I were married in Sept 1990.

"Headless" in front of Ceasar's Palace and Beautiful Fountain in front of "Paris".
