Beachboy On The Loose In Vegas

Question

A quick dash across the desert, and Vegas rises like a welcoming mirage on a hot, shimmering day.  Have Ostomy, will travel.
At the Venetian now, after watching the craziest inning in baseball ever.  Yankees give up 5 runs on errors rarely witnessed in the World Series.   
Tonight, it's Foreigner in concert.  Mrs B is a huge fan.  I'm along for the ride.  We saw founding member and lead vocalist Lou Gramm on our last 80's cruise.... The band now consists of new members, so really it's a tribute band.  
The stage awaits.....
More to come.

While I'm waiting for the concert to begin... pics of the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens at Bellagio.

The garden is changed for the seasons.

It was a great concert. Well played and executed. What's interesting, no members of the original Foreigner are in this band.

Near the end of the concert, Alan Greenwood joined the band. He was the original keyboardist of Foreigner from 1976 to 1980. He performed on the albums Foreigner, Double Vision, and Head Games. In 2024, Greenwood was selected for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
A local high school choir was brought out. After their song was over, the band asked the audience to advocate for continued funding of music education in schools.

It was a very good show. Halfway through the show, the lead singer had the house lights turned up. He asked the audience, "Raise your hand if you're up $1,000 from gambling." No one raised their hand. Then he said, "500?" One hand went up. Like I always say... Vegas wasn't built on winners.
Afterward, we had dinner at Panda Express... gotta fuel up the Beachboy stoma. Tomorrow we're going to find a nice casino resort buffet, then drive out to Red Rock Canyon.

At Luxor, we decided to nosh at their excellent buffet. They had a nice selection of breakfast and lunch items. Also, a seafood table, taco bar, and... the dessert section. Where I lingered a bit trying to decide which delicacy would break my bank of calories. Chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream were a yummy deposit. Dressed up the ice cream with sprinkled-on sugar bits and a generous helping of chocolate syrup. Washed it all down with chocolate milk. Going down? Make sure you're going down happy. 😉
Luxor has Titanic and King Tut exhibits. We chose Titanic first.

This green bottle was a Perrier water container. Was recovered from the sea floor. I'm drinking Perrier as I write this.
Cans are all the rage now.
Exhibit of dishes recovered stuck in the sand just like this.
A picture from the submersible that recovered the plates. The dishes were in a wooden cabinet that disintegrated over the decades, leaving them standing on the bottom.
A model of Titanic as it looks today.
Propeller, long since silenced.
From the middle of Titanic, a huge section was recovered. Took two expeditions to finally get it aboard ship. Then a long time removing corrosion and stabilizing it.
After Titanic, we entered the world of King Tut.
