New Years Eve in Las Vegas and other Holiday pictures

Posted on 01/04/06

For the holidays my fiance and I went to Arizona to visit my parents and then went to Las Vegas for New Years Eve. It was a fun trip - we checked out many places in the Tucson, AZ area and I managed to snap some really interesting shots while I was there. After Arizona we did the Vegas party scene for New Years. While it might sound like a blast, it was actually a bit of a disappointment... Just a million people standing on the street drinking with no real purpose - those kind of events are pretty boring. We ended up in the Mirage most of the night before heading home the next morning.

The ride home was actually a mess! You may have heard of all the rain on the west coast. We hit all of it. It was pretty nerve racking since I was in an accident on the highway a couple years back when some friends and I spun out in a heavy rain and got hit by a semi. We ended up spending a night in Bakersfield, CA to wait out the storm.

I've broken up the pics into five galleries so as not to innundate you with a single, 100+ pic gallery:
