On to the Bellagio

 

for the Canon 4 Kids Event. Every year in connection with CES, Canon has a big shindig and celebrity benefit golf tournament. Our friend John Daly is the emcee, and the party is always a hoot.

My two favorite attendees are Alice Cooper and Davy Jones. They always hang out together, though I didn't get a snap of them this year, I did get a few others...

A few details from the Encore

 
from Encore at Wynn.

The new casino opened a week or so ago, and we took a quick look before playing poker. There is a lot of natural light, a ton of texture, and RED in abundance.

Here's a slideshow:

The Aileen, Bambi and I went for an afternoon. Here are more details:

New Year's Eve at the Orleans

 
We went to a pirate themed, early New Year's party. Dinner at five, by seven, a toast and then plenty of time to play a little poker and still be home by 9.
