Off the Vegas Strip

Fences are being dismantled, picked up @ the Wetlands Park and the pavement washed. It looks like the Wetlands Park will be opening soon.

More photos from the Wetlands Park. While constructing the Wetlands Park Nature Center, crews were pumping water out of the ground before they could even lay the foundation. The water table is just 5ft below the ground. The area is a natural wash and at the same time treated water also flows in the area on the way to Lake Mead.

Vegetation around the Wetlands Park.

I'm very glad that certain sections of the Wetlands Park is off limits to pet dogs. The trails are clean and free from dog feces.

My friend and I dropped by the Home Depot the other day, he's thinking of replacing the toilet in his bathroom.

I just love Angel Park and its inhabitants.

The entrance leading to the underground tram to T3 is temporarily blocked as seen from the D concourse.

Our dinner this evening @ Kabuki. We may be in the desert nearly 300 miles from the Pacific Ocean but our restaurants in Clark County make delicious mouth watering sushi. Of course my friend loves his salad.

Once T3 opens June 27, 2012 the old dumpy international Terminal 2 will be demolished freeing up valuable space @ McCarran.

Is the Sky vue being built accross from Mandalay Bay?
I heard that foundations were put in place but haven't seen any decent pictures on the internet yet. If so when is it due to open?

Yes construction is on-going and moving up fast across from the Mandalay Bay. This observation wheel will have a better view of the Strip, surrounding areas and a view of the airport. It will open sometime 2013 I believe around Spring to early Summer if I'm not mistaken. The Linq by Caesars Entertainment will also have planned opening for later part of 2013.

Thanks for the update on Tivoli Village jbkayaker12. Everytime I drive by there, the project seems to be static and there's no or very little movement. Then again, I don't go by there very often. That area has been due for a nice mall.

Very little crowd @ Tivoli which I prefer, nothing like the Strip crowd. Weekends are busier during Farmers Market. There are more businesses opening @ Tivoli which is nice. The restaurant row @ Boca Park across the street is busier day and night.

Events coming up in town. Yes, resorts want the pink dollar as well.

Mining activity altering the side of a mountain as seen from the Wetlands Park. Wind was gusting today stirring up dirt and dust.

Dropped by the Art Square to see how it is doing on construction. The landscaping is nice but I don't like their choice of lighting for the garden.
