Walked by the Eden Gallery this morning. They're prepping for the opening of their new exhibition during F1 race weekend. JISBAR, Gal Yosef and Alec Monopoly on display.

Christmas decorations are going up all over town. The Shops at Crystals dressed up their trees (pictured), and The Bellagio pulled their fall exhibit out of the conservatory this morning, in preparation for their holiday display.
My favorite fake trees, located inside The Shops at Crystals, which is a mall outside the Aria Casino in Vegas. The trunks are artistically fake, but they're topped with green ivies mixed with seasonal decorations. For Christmas, they went with dripping strings of red beads and flowers with red petals. I find them tacky and a little absurd, but also oddly tasteful, which is really Vegas in a nutshell.

Saw the first Christmas tree of the year out in the wild today. Happy #Halloween everyone!
A Christmas tree, hanging out in the corner of the indoor patio @ Blondies Sports Bar in the Miracle Mile shops. It's sitting in front of two stacked TVs and a Bud Light poster. Very festive. No presents under the tree as of yet :)

Stopped by the @unlvfinearts.bsky.social UNLV Art Walk on Friday. The Donna Beam Gallery had a really striking piece by Kim Johnson that drew me in. Exhibit is free to the public and worth your time if you're in Vegas.
Three separate paintings done in mixed media of women representing Venus, Mars, and Luna with vibrant colors. My terrible photography really doesn't do them justice.

The One World Aquarium repainted its walls lately. Now they have some very colorful otters.
Artist paintings of two otters, magenta and white fur. One has a cyan head. An oddly effective color scheme.

❤️ Axolotl at #NoKings Vegas on Saturday.
Someone in a human-size pink Axolotl costume marching at the No Kings Protest in Downtown Las Vegas, 10/18/25. Palm trees, sun, placards and a yellow t-shirt in the background. Love the outfit!

The Sphere was making faces at me this morning.
The Las Vegas Sphere has a set of Jack-O-Lantern faces for Halloween. This one is looking kind of scared. The Las Vegas Sphere has a set of Jack-O-Lantern faces for Halloween. This one has wide jaws and squinting, like he's about to devour me. The Las Vegas Sphere has a set of Jack-O-Lantern faces for Halloween. This one has wide eyes and an open mouth like he just had a big idea (possibly for Honeydew Spice Lattes?) The Las Vegas Sphere has a set of Jack-O-Lantern faces for Halloween. This one has an evil grin.

One year ago today, the Tropicana was imploded to make way for a new baseball stadium, which is expected to be ready for the 2028 MLB season.

Construction progress after one year:
Las Vegas construction crews build the new baseball stadium on the site of the old Tropicana Hotel/Casino. Numerous construction cranes litter the large lot, which is punctuated by enormous piles of sand and temporary buildings. Partially visible in the center of the frame is the foundation of the new baseball stadium, and what appear to be cement tunnels. Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur all visible in the background.
