Checking out the strip after DefCon

Jon kindly gave us a ride over to the strip.

We wandered the Mandalay Bay.

It looks like the DefCon folks who were adept with locks had been through here.

A bit later we had dinner at the buffet at the Mandalay Bay. Still very nice.

The band in the Mandalay Bay was just not at all good. We went over to the Luxor, and their band was better, but we had other problems (written about in the next entry). The sound system at the Luxor was not so good though.

So we went over to the New York New York. On the way, we ran across this cheesy "Sir Galahad" statue.

The band, Soul Desire, came out and ant started rocking along. I was sitting backwards, facing the casino and watching people there, but there was a big, flat piece of brass that I could see the performers reflected in. During the second song I realized that I was watching them way more than the casino, so I turned around. They did a really good show.

Another shot of the band.

Gazing at the wild wonder.

We walked back to the hotel. Apparently, they knew this was going to get thrown on the ground. An environmentally sound advertisement.
