Arndt Family Reunion in Las Vegas
Ah, what a wonderful trip! We joined Bruce and Hazel Arndt, Mark and
Marguerite Iverson, and Fred and Julie Arndt (who came up from Arizona) for a
week in the luxurious Bellagio Hotel. Clovis and Harriet Roberts flew down with
us and stayed at Ballys.
Grandpa Bruce said after his first day there, "Well, I'm glad I came and
saw it, but I'm not coming back!" Well, after his fifth day there, he said,
"Next time, maybe we should stay here!" as he eyed the girls at the
Venetian. He enjoyed improved mobility thanks to the heat. The temperatures were
otherwise oppressive, hovering around 116 degrees. Yep, that's 50 degrees hotter
than here in Alaska.
Grandma Hazel tried her hand at the slot machines. It was fun until she
didn't get her nickels back. Uh oh. You don't mess with Grandma Hazel.

Here are some pictures Steve took.

| The view from our room ... not
only beautiful, but also away from the fountain show and the constant
Italio-tunes every 15 minutes on the other side of the hotel. |
The view south from our room. Yeah, it was
hot out there. |

Where's Clovis... again? |

No,
the water isn't spewing from Jane's head. This was taken from the moving
walkway that heads to Ceasar's. If you want to leave Ceasar's, you must
walk in the heat. It's always easier to get in than out.
At right, Jane relaxes at the Flamingo Hotel courtyard. |
