Send some of that this way please..
That wouldn't even cover the resort fee. Maybe the daily parking fee. The Strip is so expensive.
That's pretty common around here. I'm relieved when it's under 60%. Today it is 79F/26C, with 50% humidity, a comfortable day.
+ At the Excalibur is a shop where you can get a Moonswatch as well WIN, WIN
Or take that money and stay there as long as you can tolerate the bed bugs!
FTFY.
@GearNoir asked (sorta) for a tour of my work desk (and since @NurseDave is getting a new, much larger, fancy-pants desk and will need inspiration)......here's a tour:
I'll do this over a few days....there's quite a bit to see.
Desk Tour #1
As you can see....or at least you will over the next few days will see....I'm a huge Star Wars fan. So you gotta have a Millennium Falcon (and yes...I misspelled it in the photo).
I'm also a big fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. This is one of my favorite characters, Toph. It was a great show on Nickelodeon and now that they're getting ready to make more tv shows and movies....you'll be learning more about this awesome franchise in the near future.
There's a bit of the Marvel Universe in Nick Fury. I grew up reading comic books with my friends...so Marvel For Life.
The Autopia Car is from my love for all things Disneyland. This particular car represents me and my daughter, Clarissa, on the ride. She has never been a good driver.
Had to represent my Dodgers. Been a fan since I was about 3 or 4.....so 50 years.
Also in this photo but not labeled:
A brass extender for a razor handle (the shop made me two....I only needed one)
A stack of technical pencils and pens I use everyday while making drawings.
Hand sanitizer that everyone got when the pandemic started.
A couple of electrical contacts that always seem to be on my desk for one reason or another.
Well, that's just one small part. Tomorrow will have much more.

Quite a varied collection!
Good eye.
That would be more Avatar stuff. In this case: the four symbols for the 4 different nations...Water, Earth, Fire, Air. The symbol you see on top is Earth.
That would have been my 13,455th guess.
Just out of curiosity......what was guess #13,454?
Poker chip props from a James Bond movie.
I have that in my bar at home.
Desk Tour #2
As seen yesterday.....there are several Avatar items on my desk (most 3-D printed). The stack of tiles is the symbols of the 4 Nations of the Avatar universe. Also right next to the tiles is the outline of Appa, the sky bison and a green dice with the 4 nation symbols and the symbols for the Kyoshi warriors and the Order of the White Lotus.
I love trains and since I grew up in Los Angeles, I'm a fan of the Pacific Electric railway system. It was once the largest urban railway in the United States and it was torn up before I was born so I never got to ride on any of the trains. But when I was a kid, I did see them dump some of the old cars into the ocean to make the breakwater off Redondo Beach.
My daughter was a Rainbow girl, its the girls organization for the daughters of Masons and her final statewide office was Grand Hope and she gave me a rock with the word Hope on it after her term ended.
I worked for an architectural firm here in Las Vegas and one of our clients was the Caterpillar dealership and I was involved in doing the drawings for the buildings (one of the few things I drew that actually got built), so I picked up a tractor to commemorate that accomplishment.
The baseball is from the Minor League team here in Vegas, currently called the Aviators (after Howard Hughes...his company co-owns the team). This was one of only two foul balls I've ever caught. This one was on a bounce. The one in my bar at home was caught in the air.
Wall-E was one of the first things I printed on our 3-D printer at work. The people in the sales department broke him.
Minions are always fun and hilarious.....and you have to have more than one. Their newest member of their team is Grogu (or baby yoda)...he was 3-D printed.
Obi-Wan has always been my favorite Star Wars character. He was perfectly played by Sir Alec Guinness and is equally as perfectly played by Ewan McGregor. I chose him as my TSC profile pic because I like him and I thought the idea of someone who might need to shave with a lightsaber would seem funny.
Also in the photo but not labeled:
Another Millennium Falcon because....why not?
Some business cards from Big Dogs Brewing....I was hoping to do some tenant improvement drawings for them since I was told they might be expanding their brewpub.
