Driving through the park
On our final day in Las Vegas, we decided to visit Valley of Fire State Park. The rock formations seemed to randomly just out of the landscape; there were no giant rock fins like those found in Utah. The park also has interesting pictographs, including a drawing of the precurser to the bow and arrow. This weapon was essentially a sling shot for an arrow.
We decided to go to Bertolini’s for lunch. The home made pasta dishes were very good, and the bread was brushed with garlic butter, and came with a garlic spread.
For dinner we went to Fukuda. Our chef was excellent; he created a mini volcano out of onion rings, flipped rice bowls through the air, used his kitchen utensils as percussion instruments, and juggled an egg on a metal spatula before flipping it into his pocket.
Candy for adults
After a busy final day in Vegas, we waited at the airport for our flight. During the wait, we had a great view of the strip at night. We also passed an iPod vending machine… yes… IPOD vending machine. Seriously, I remember when all you could get from vending machines was pop, snacks, coffee, and cigs. <– Louisa’s note: Seriously, cigarettes?? I don’t remember those in vending machines. Wait, where did you live again?
