Flowers in Vegas

   Las Vegas was Vegas with wonderful weather for May.  The new Encore Hotel and the Wynn, which I had not seen,  were truly special.  It is easy to see that they (including Bellagio) were all crafted by the same imaginative, creative eye.  The bold bolts of color (a display of  multicolored  umbrellas hanging to catch your eye) in addition to the unique floral displays in each lobby were really amazing.  The Bellagio Hotel lobby is still still spectacular with the Dale Chihuly installation adorning the lobby ceiling.  It was only outdone by the fabulous seasonal floral display room off the lobby, which was done in "Spring." I am told the room is decked out to celebrate each season.   Imagine 20 feet tall watering cans dripping onto luscious  beds of massive plantings of spring flowers and olive trees with animal figures made up of pink roses ands bright green moss and I could go on and on, but I would not do it justice.  Each property is very different but yet, very much the same in that the floral beauty is a large part of each hotel's "wow factor."
  What is happening in the Preakness on Sat?  I am staying with my Derby picks- Super Saver and Lookin at Lucky.  Super Saver loves the post position so could be that second time is a charm!!!
