Joe and Kathy took this day off to rest and do computer stuff. If we were around at lunch time we might link up. This was our day to go see O in the evening. Penny and I had cereal in our room for breakfast and then headed out to Red Rock Canyon which is just outside LV to the west.
The area is a national conservation area and is a 13 mile loop drive through a picturesque canyon. Penny and I took lots of pictures and actually took a moderate .8 mile hike up to see a waterfall and some Indian pictographs. The “waterfall” was just a drizzle falling about 30 feet out of a cave. The flow was not enough to sustain any sort of stream flow. The water drained away for about 20 feet before drying up in the hot dessert air.

We did find the pictographs – they were well worn by the elements but I did get a picture of one.
After the canyon I fired up the GPS to try and find a Mexican restaurant. We picked out what looked like a decent one from the name and were led to a side street in a new housing development – no restaurant. So we tried another. Same result. We gave up on the GPS. We stopped at Target to get some batteries and water. I asked an employee if there were any Mexican restaurants around. She said no, rolled her eyes wistfully and explained that you can’t get decent Mexican or Pizza in this town. So we gave up and had lunch at the Applebee’s that was in the parking lot with Target. Penny did get fajitas which she enjoyed.
We then went in search of a grocery store and couldn’t find one. So I used the GPS again to go to Albertson’s. We turned in the lot and it was a Super Wal-Mart. It had groceries so we picked up some lunchmeat and bread, chips and apples. That would be dinner before we went to see O.
O was amazing. This was aquatic theater where a cast of 81 performs in, on and above a 1.5 million gallon tank of water. It combines circus, art, drama, choreography, aerial acrobats and synchronized swimming. For 90 minutes we were thoroughly entertained.
The show was at the Bellagio—the place with the fountain—so after the show we went out and watched 4 water shows. Very nice!
