Vegas Baby, Vegas!

I drove through Vegas after the Grand Canyon. Just to the East of Vegas (maybe 30 minutes on I-15) there is an Indian reservation where they sell fireworks. In California, you can generally do things on Indian reservations that are not legal in the rest of the state, like gamble. In Nevada you can gamble anywhere and buy safe and sane fireworks anywhere, so what do the Indian tribes do to offer a unique product? They sell really high powered fireworks. You can buy stuff like bottle rocks, black cats, M-80s, and the fireworks that shoot several hundred feet into the air and explode like professional fireworks. Being that it was the afternoon of July 3rd, the place was packed. Selection was pretty limited too, but the next time I make a road trip to Vegas, I will definitely make a detour to stock up.
In Vegas I stopped at the brand new Wynn casino. That is a pretty swanky place. I would say it rivals or betters the Bellagio. Not surprisingly I couldn't find any $5 blackjack tables on a Saturday afternoon.
