0:45
realize last night when I checked in

that when you close this door there is
0:50
some historical photos of the
0:54
flamingo right up here you'll find
0:57
everything you need no you'll find

everything thing you always wanted at
1:01
the
1:08
Flamingo Wayne Newton still performs
1:08
here to this
1:10
day I've never seen Way Newton in person
1:13
maybe I should at some point consider
1:15
maybe going to one of his shows kind of
1:18
a winin row moment right all right just
1:20
waiting to take the elevator down to the
1:22
first floor and I think they're going to
1:23
be doing a feeding here in a minute
1:25
elevator door closing I'm not sure if
1:28
it's a feeding of the flamingos but but
1:30
it is over in the little nature section
1:33
saw the sign last night when I was
1:34
checking in it said 10:00 a.m. which is
1:36
just a couple minutes from right
1:44
now yeah a lot of birds in there they
1:44
got the regular birds like the little
1:45
crows the Ducks over there and of course
1:48
the Pink Flamingos very
1:50
appropriate to be staying at a resort
1:53
named after these wonderful beautiful
1:55
creatures
2:08
get my room is up there somewhere that
2:08
corner welcome everyone Adam the woo
2:11
here and yes I am wearing an appropriate
2:15
t-shirt Las Vegas I'm inviting you to
2:18
join me see where the day leads no plan
2:21
shall you right on the schedule 10: a.m.
2:34
okay all right good morning everyone
2:37
good morning welcome to the flamingo
2:39
wildlife habitat my name is Adrien my
2:43
cooworker Jamie is also out in the
2:45
habitat this morning and we are two of
2:47
the three ladies responsible for the
2:49
care of everyone that you'll see here
2:51
today with feather spoons and scales
2:54
right up front and center is bugsy Bugsy
2:57
is a California brown pelican he was
3:00
found floating off the coast of Luna
3:02
California wrapped in trash and fishing
3:04
line entanglement so you're going to
3:06
notice he mov a little bit funky right
3:08
his right Wing's always going to go out
3:10
the way it's supposed to but he's going
3:12
to hug that left wing close to his chest
3:14
right that's how they eat so because
3:16
Bugsy can't fly he was unable to be
3:19
released back to the wild so now he
3:21
lives here with us as an educational
3:23
Ambassador for his species right
3:25
reminding us all to just be a little bit
3:27
more careful the next time we self
3:29
recognition like me do he doesn't know
3:31
that he sees another bird he thinks he
3:34
sees another bird no that's back up
3:35
honey he thinks he sees another bird he
3:38
doesn't quite know that really
3:42
uh-uh he doesn't quite know that that's
3:44
him right so he's going to tell that
3:46
other Pelican that he sees that you
3:47
might be just as handsome as I am but
3:49
I'm the one that gets all the fish and
3:50
I'm the one that gets all the attention
3:52
not Bugsy doesn't have any teeth Bugsy
3:55
used to call her his Flamingo so when he
3:58
founded the property here in the
4:00
he Legend has it he named it for her we
4:03
will always honor that and so Bugsy the
4:04
Pelican girlfriend will always be named
4:06
Virginia for that
4:09
reason go back please sir
4:18
okay everyone here is wild as you can
4:18
see I ran over and got piping hot
4:22
caffeinated beverage and I'm going to go
4:23
over and see if they're going to talk
4:24
about the flamingos a little bit and
4:25
then see where the day leads I'm all
4:27
about seeing where the days lead love
4:29
this Fountain right here got the four
4:31
flamingos around the fountain
4:33
effervescently flowing the water very
4:36
very very very nice there's a little Koi
4:39
pond over here as well now I always knew
4:41
that there was a waterfall over in this
4:44
section but I never realized that there
4:45
is koi down in the water kind of tough
4:49
to see them but if you look closely you
4:51
can see a koi fish swimming around right
4:54
in there yep right here along the strip
4:57
that very iconic front of the building
4:59
of course later on it'll be illuminated
5:01
but right now it's during the day so the
5:03
Leon's not off but still beautiful
5:05
magnet Max ended up buying a little
5:08

me my fortune this is old
13:12
school that was
13:12
interesting could barely hear what it
13:13
was said we're riding by where the
13:15
Tropicana used to
13:18
be they tore that
13:21
down and evidently I think it's kind of
13:23
they're having the same issues that
13:26
Tampa Bay is having with their Stadium
13:29
but there're at some point the Oakland
13:31
A's are going to become the Vegas A's
13:33
which right now they're the Sacramento
13:35
California A's and their stadium is
13:38
going to be right there in
13:41
that big open lot where the Tropicana
13:44
used to
13:49
be but they haven't started building it
13:49
hasn't gone vertical yet here's a bunch
13:52
of just a bunch of
13:54
random pieces of the underbelly of
13:57
carpet in front of us
14:00
future home of MLB baseball right here
14:06
maybe I think so again it's kind of like
14:10
Tampa Bay situation I think it's all
14:11
still kind of up in there I got the
14:14
M&M place you got the big cocacola you
14:17
got the Hard Rock up here
14:32
I mean it's really nice to go on the
14:32
Strip during the day but I think it
14:34
looks way better at night I agree and
14:37

going back to the room for just a little
16:17
bit and after that ended up going out to
16:20
eat with a couple friends that haven't
16:21
seen a while I was catching up with them
16:23
German of Venice went did his own
16:30
thing a it Gordon Ramsey's burger place
16:30
which never had Gordon Ramsey's burger
16:31
place before I've only had Gordon Ramsey
16:34
when he had his fish and chips place
16:35
which I think is the most prominent but
16:37
the waiter was saying that for about the
16:39
last 3 months this place has been open
16:41
it's the newest restaurant here in town
16:43
of the franchise of the burger of the
16:44
burger place pretty
16:46
good pretty average Burger maybe a
16:49
little bit above average burger onion
16:51
rings were amazing though probably the
16:53
best Hing Rings I've ever had so yeah
16:55
just catching up uh catching up with
16:57
some friends that live here in town
16:59
doing a little Gordon Ramsey action and
17:01
just going to see where the the rest of
17:03
the day leads here around the Flamingo
17:05
and kind of want to wait around sun
17:07
Sundown go out and go out and do some
17:10
stuff and see you know what's
17:11
interesting as I'm back up here kind of
17:12
looking back down at the Flamingo there
17:15
looks like the wind is subsided just a
17:18
little bit it's not quite as heavy as it
17:20
was earlier maybe the key was getting
17:22
Gordon Ramsey Burger it's
17:25
definitely yeah I think the think the I
17:29
think it's not as windy as it once was
17:30
so I think the wind is
17:39
over all right back over at the
17:41
flamingos I think I'm going to go back
17:43
up to my room and relax a little bit and
17:46
then when Nightfall rears its head hit
17:47
the strip for just a little while all
17:49
right current time
17:51
4:30 sunset's at 5:47 I believe
17:54
according to the the weather
17:57
app we're going to the top of the Strat
18:01
formally the stratosphere so we're going
18:03
to get a few dusk angles and then we're
18:06
going to get the city all illuminated
18:08
from the top of the Strat we're going to
18:10
walk past the Little Chapel of Hearts
18:12
Elvis will marry you inside here and
18:16
even if you don't want to get married
18:17
you say you just want to get a photo
18:19
with the king of rock and roll and your
18:20
significant other without tying the knot
18:23
you can get a pretend W wedding
18:25
photo should we do this or me and you
18:28
act like we're getting married by the
18:29
king um maybe on the way back that would
18:33
start that would uh would that break the
18:36
internet ah the big old
18:39
sign we're going to the
18:41
top of the
18:44
Strat man it's windy again little
18:53
nippy now when we first got into the
18:53
Strat they told us they did tell us this
18:54
when we bought the ticket ticket was $36
18:56
with fee $29.99 plus the the fees they
18:59
ended up being $36 they did not let us
19:02
know that there was a problem with the
19:06
opening of the very top portion the
19:08
outside open to the elements because
19:11
it's too windy so we had to basically be
19:15
a in the enclosed area with the glass
19:17
window still got a pretty good view and
19:18
all that but was not able to go outside
19:20
which is kind of disappointing cuz we
19:21
thought you know for the money we should
19:23
be able to go outside and get the wind
19:25
through our hair and feel the breeze at
19:27
the very very top of the 800 plus
19:30
observation deck I think it's 1,000 ft
19:32
to the top of the strap at 800 800 plus
19:35
to the top observation deck and then the
19:36
one we were allowed to go to was right
19:39
below it completely enclosed got to see
19:40
the sunset and all that which is pretty
19:42
nice and then we got on the elevator to
19:44
go down right when we got on the
19:45
elevator it started going up and the
19:48
other people on the elevator said oh
19:49
they just opened the top so we were
19:50
allowed to we were able to go outside on
19:53
the top of the Strat and stand out there
19:57
in the very very Bluster and very very
19:59
probably was a little too windy to be
20:01
out there it was cold crisp and very
20:04
chilly at the top of the
20:07
890
20:08
870 foot tall
20:26
it it's not really windy
20:26
here woo
20:33
W oh it's windy up here it is so windy
20:33
up here can't believe they open this top
20:36
deck Gusty here it is the world's
20:39
largest gift
20:41
shop right there according to the sign
20:45
be walking over to go to a casino i'
20:47
never been in the Sahara where Elvis
20:51
Presley used to perform a lot inside the
20:52
Sahara I was kind of expecting there to
20:54
be more artifacts of
20:55
Elvis and I guess there used to be but
20:57
they've completely remodeled it in the
21:00
last few years and asked one of the
21:02
employees at the front desk and they
21:04
said that all there really is now is
21:06
just photos on the wall so they had some
21:07
Elvis photos here at the Sahara and then
21:09
also other people who performed here
21:11
didn't realize
21:14
that the Beatles performed here
21:19
also so now what we're going to do is
21:21
there
21:23
goes the monter we're going to head over
21:26
to across from the Westgate there is a
21:29
gas station that Sean conry filmed a
21:32
scene for diamonds are forever at and I
21:34
just recently watched that James Bond
21:36
classic filmed here in Vegas when there
21:38
was a lot less buildings here in Vegas
21:41
and that gas station I guess Still
21:43
Remains so we're going to try to match
21:43
up that photo now it's interesting if
21:45
you watch diamond diamonds are forever
21:47
the James Bond movie he's standing right
21:49
over here in fact he's getting gas at
21:51
this gas pump this gas station now the
21:53
rco and AM PM is a different different
21:56
setup but they still have gas pumps been
21:59
renovated and changed and gone through
22:01
you know changes over the many many
22:05
decades but it is very fascinating that
22:08
they expanded the Westgate you can see
22:11
now the original portion stopped right
22:14
there and the original portion was right
22:17
here that right there was the original
22:19
Westgate and then since then they've
22:22
expanded across and there's a scene
22:25
right here oh that guy that truck's
22:27
making a U-turn
22:29
that's got to be difficult I think both
22:30
these are going to make a U-turn right
22:32
here on Elvis Presley
22:34
Boulevard there's a lot of behind the
22:36
scenes photos right
22:38
here Sean conry and just like when Elvis
22:40
performed here it was called the
22:41
international and then later the Hilton
22:43
and the Westgate which is what it is now
22:45
there's conry right there 007 formerly
22:48
the sexiest man
22:51
alive not not in my eyes but that he was
22:53
given that title by publication
22:57
yes yes Ash there he is putting a suit
23:00
or Little Helper putting the suit on
23:03
take a look how the international now
23:05
the Westgate you should just be that one
23:07
segment there is that
23:10
cool so I'm guessing when Elvis played
23:12
here it probably was just that too it
23:15
probably didn't stretch all the way over
23:18
there meaning Elvis probably lived in
23:21
those top Windows right
23:24
there that's just my assumption
23:29
wonder if conry ever met Elvis one more
23:31
little photo here just to show how
23:33
Barren Vegas was back then this is
23:37
looking at the Westgate and okay this is
23:42
interesting it almost looks as if they
23:44
tore one of the buildings
23:47
down wait I'm confused right cuz that
23:50
different yeah that right there is that
23:52
fall is that small portion I think there
23:55
was a taller Tower behind it
24:00
wow or maybe that's a you know what that
24:02
might be I don't know maybe that's a
24:04
different angle but in the movie
24:06
diamonds are forever the White House was
24:08
the international which is now the West
24:10
Kate and formerly the
24:12
Hilton and that scene with the gas
24:14
station is right here so I'm that's
24:16
confusing
24:17
right or was that a different spot that
24:20
might have a different spot no that's it
24:24
all right the mystery continues
24:31
now I'm really confused I should mention
24:31
the final scene of overthe toop
24:33
Sylvester Stallone when he was driving
24:35
away with a new truck was right right
24:37
here in this right here in this section
24:40
as well fun fact over the top all right
24:42
back at the hotel it was a it was a good
24:45
random day with no game plan met up with
24:48
the GI met up with a couple other
24:50
friends for lunch caught up with them
24:52

24:53
