Brian & Patty's Awesome Adventure!: Continue in Las Vegas, Nevada

We usually don't go to the Strip when we are in Vegas, but we decided to go take a look. There a lots of strange people there. This guy thought he was Bumblebee from The Transformers movie. I think he was trying to get $$$$ donations to get pictures taken with him.

We went to the old Imperial Palace now owned by Caesars Palace and now called The Linq. They have an Auto Museum. The Linq charges $12.95 admission, but if you go this link: The Auto Collections Free Admission, you can print out free admissions to the museum.

We had a great chat with the brother of the owner Don Williams. Don sells many of these classic cars. He pays The Linq for the right to have the display here. Also any tickets that The Linq sells they keep. Mr. Williams makes money on selling the cars. Not all the cars are for sale. You are not approached to purchase any cars. Most are $500,000 to $1,000,000, although there are some for under $30K.

This car is a 3 wheel Morgan.

This Rolls Royce has a Crystal Flying Lady hood ornament. Very Rare!

They had several Kennedy Cars. This one can be also be seen in the photo behind the car. It is the car that picked up JFK at Love Field in Dallas before his changed cars and was assassinated. It is supposedly the last car he rode in before the fateful drive.

When President Nixon visited China he wanted to fly his Presidential Limo to China. They would not allow it wanting instead to show off this peace of junk Chinese made Limo. He had to use this Chinese limo out of necessity.

We needed to get some diesel fuel in the truck. The new truck needs Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel. The old 2004 could use any diesel. With all the emission stuff in this one Non-ULSF Diesel would mess up my truck.

Since 2007 in California all you could buy was ULSF diesel and in other states since 2010. To meet regulations they have to post stickers on their pumps.

This sticker is soooooooooo wrong it concerned me. The top is correct for my truck, but the bottom says I should NOT run it in anything newer then 2007. I was so concerned I called Scott B. to make sure I was reading it right, and that the sign was just goofy! That's what they get for buying the signs made in China!

Actually it HAS to be used in 2007 and newer!

Patty wanted to go to the AAA Las Vegas 51's game. They were playing the Sacramento RiverCats.
