Half-scale Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas:

Welcome back, Matthe.

The blood tests in Alabama tested for STDs, I believe.  They were outdated and I don't think they are required anymore.

Pretty bad news if your betrothed is found to have an STD. Pity they can't do blood tests for other things like 'potential to be obsessive psycho', 'likliehood of infedility', 'annoying habit XYZ'...that would be a much more helpful blood test.

Do they have tours in the tower?

I will have to find out.  I think we can ride an elevator to the top, but my daughter was more interested in Circus Circus' Adventuredome yesterday.

We went to Fry's, but they didn't have my laptop battery.  I'll have to find it online.

Good luck with it.

Nice pictures.

I saw those but the crowds were bad so I kept my distance

It wasn't too crowded today.  We went up the Eiffel Tower today and the fountains at the Bellagio were active while we were at the top, so it was a pretty cool show from up there.

 

I learned that they would have made a full-sized replica of the Eiffel Tower, but the airport was too close to the site, so they were only able to make a half-sized replica.  I did not find out what Erica La Tour Eiffel thinks about the copy of her husband.

That is cool, I have never been to Vegas.

We also rode a rollercoaster at New York New York this morning which was a little scary.  My daughter begged and begged to ride it again, and we went back to let her, but the line had gotten too long by then.  She was crushed, but we went to see the fountains at the Bellagio and also bought gelato.

I had to check it out....it looks like fun. No wonder your daugher wanted to go on it again....I was smiling the whole time I watched it.

I wonder what the French think about it.

I don't know, but maybe they would think that imitation is the sincerest of flattery.

This was the view of it I saw tonight through the fountain at the Bellagio:

What's cool about the original is that the evening lighting of the tower is copyrighted. You aren't allowed to photograph and publish it without permission.

Thanks for that, Eclair.  Yes, that was the ride, but it seemed to last longer than that to me while I was on it.  I smiled through the ride too, but my smile was frozen and I felt nauseated afterward.  I wonder how they managed to film it and hold on to their camera through the ride, since the operators said you couldn't have anything loose on the ride with you?  I had to even leave my cup in a locker.

I'm sure it seems longer when you are the one losing your stomach in real time. I go into hysterical laughter on fast rides.

I wondered about the camera too....I was waiting for some problems with it in the loopy bits. He must have had it strapped on to him secretly, I was thinking in a cap, but they wouldn't let you wear head gear on something like that, so I'm a little bit baffled too.

I can't stand roller coasters.
