    I took a tour of Hacienda Palomino. This is also known as the Thriller Villa because it's where…read moreMichael Jackson lived in Las Vegas the last two years of his life. The house is privately owned and it's where many of the things from the Liberace Museum now reside. The tour I took was lead by Jonathan Warren, an expert on the life of Liberace. He's also is an expert in describing the Liberace items in the mansion. The tour lasted three hours and was very informative. The whole hacienda is not covered but the section closest to Palomino Lane is where the Liberace memorabilia is located. Reservations must be made for the tour. I was the only person yesterday because some that were scheduled needed to change their tour date. It was a fantastic tour. I had been to the Liberace Museum before it closed, but I never would know what I do now because of Mr. Warren's encyclopedic memory!

    I searched for historical stuff and this showed up. I didn't know anything about it but was…read moreintrigued. One day I went by it. It's a house but there's a lot of history. The Junior League of Las Vegas maintains it and has tours. I had no idea who Antonio Morelli was. He was the music director at the Sands. This house is maintained to look like it was during the 1960s. He lived in this house. The house actually was moved here and has an interesting story about that. Go to the League website. If you're interesting in a tour you have to sign up for it. It's only during certain times.

    For a long time, I have wanted to tour the Morelli house in DTLV. Last Saturday, I took the…read moreopportunity and went for the 11:30 AM tour. The Junior League of Las Vegas uses this house as its headquarters but it was also their mission to preserve the house as one of their projects. The house is a great example of mid-century modern architecture. Originally, it was located on the golf course of the Desert Inn Country Club Estates on the Sands/Twain side. When Steve Wynn bought the Desert Inn, the houses from the Estates were leveled except for the Morelli house which was able to be moved. It was the only home with a crawl space and thus could be lifted up to be moved. The house was donated to the Junior League. Part of the tour is a video of moving the house on September 30, 2001, and it's quite interesting to see its move to Eastern, down to Fremont, and up 9th to Bridger. The interior contains many things we don't see in houses today. The tile work of the sinks in the bathroom are amazing, and the step down shower in the master bath is amazing. The Junior League women do the tour and it's quite interesting. Thanks to them, this house has survived and with it part of Las Vegas history. For those who don't know, Antonio Morelli was the musical director for the Sands Hotel.

    Welcome to the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign... a must stop photo op whether it's your…read morefirst visit or your hundredth. It's always busy, no matter the time of day, so be prepared to wait a bit if you want that perfect picture right under the sign. The energy is nonstop, tourists from all over, people celebrating birthdays, weddings, and everything in between. It really sets the tone for what Vegas is all about. There's a small parking lot nearby, but it fills up quickly, especially during peak hours. Pro tip: go early in the morning or later at night if you want fewer crowds and better lighting for photos. Even with the wait, it's 100% worth it. It's one of those classic Vegas moments you just have to experience at least once.

I showed up a little bit before sunrise, it was so early in the morning that there wasn't much of a line at all and you got a dark time photo where the lights of the sign actually stand out in your pictures. If you're willing to hang out for 30 minutes after sunrise you can also take some pictures with the blue say daylight while also avoiding the hot afternoon heat that you'd might likely get in the spring or summer. *Side note for tourist, you aren't required to pay people that try to take your pictures. They don't actually work for the city. Just ask someone else that's also waiting in line near you if they're willing to take a picture for you.
