What show are we seeing tonight? |
The Nevada State Museum
Today Donna, Brenton, Gordon, and I visited the Nevada State Museum. I had the museum on our list of places we could visit for free so when we got there I was going to get Donna and myself in and then buy 2 tickets for the rest of the group. I showed my pass at the window and we were told they weren't a part of the NARM group. Bummer, I guess my notes were wrong. I apologized for getting it wrong and bought 4 tickets and we headed in. On the way in we were given a map and I looked at it and there was a botanic garden on the property too. I got to thinking and looked at our botanic garden reciprocal pass list and The Nevada State Museum was on the list. Moving forward, I will add which pass to use when I make my list. Oh well, we were in and it was a great museum and totally worth it

This bat is going to have a scorpion lunch! |

More historical gambling machines at another museum! |
 |
Our first look at costumes for the day was provided by The Vegas Showgirl exhibit. |
 |
Our next costumes came via the Liberace exhibit at the museum. |
 |
The museum was just a part of the things to see on the giant grounds that included a botanic garden, another museum, and nature preserve. |
The Rampart Casino
After the museum, we had lunch and then headed over to The Rampart Casino. The Rampart is a locals casino way off strip and very close to Summerlin, NV. I wanted to see a Casino I hadn't seen before and some of the others wanted to gamble a bit.
 |
We had a little video poker "tournament" where we each played until we lost a hand and then rotated. It was a lot of fun and we broke even! |
 |
I took the opportunity to have a beer at off strip prices. |
 |
Brenton threatened me with his sword garnish pick for taking this photo. |
A Trip to the Tropicana for a Show
After a delicious pizza dinner and a rest at the Airbnb, we took a Lyft over to the Tropicana for our next appointment.
 |
I found some Glam Raiders Merch to continue our Fancy Costume theme. |
 |
We saw a new, to me, electronic craps table with real dice. All of the payouts were handled electronically so there was only a need for one person to work the table working the dice and stick. |
 |
Have you guessed what we are seeing yet? |
 |
Brent got this awesome image of us before the show. |
It was a fun show. We had a great time cheering on the competition. Ru wasn't there in person but she appeared on the big screens to add to the show and this capped off a great day of Fancy Costumes.
That's it for today. If you missed,
An Evening to Remember, check it out. We had a fancy dinner and saw another show.
