SEQUEL TO NEVADA'S VALLEY OF FIRE PHOTOS TAKEN YESTERDAY
In this below linked two-video Playlist first see first the segment of Elvis Presley's Grand Prix Car Race that took him through Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park in his film, "Viva Las Vegas."
Then compare a driver's view on the same roadway while "racing" through the Valley of Fire yesterday, some 63 years later.
In comparing the roadway and scenic red rock sandstone structures that border it, it is notable how little has changed. The towering Valley of Fire Nature-sculpted Sandstone monuments remain as impressive as ever.

Don't know. The location i found it just mentioned as an Old Mining town.
A search yields Bodie CA. It’s a state park left “as is” to explore. Once a mining town of 8,000. Looks like an interesting place to visit. No metal detectors or souvenir hunters allowed.
We traveled to Las Vegas to watch one of our progeny perform as Elsa in the musical "Frozen."
In this playlist share with us selections from the musical sung and performed by her. The playlist begins with her singing of "Let it Go" as it is first heard.
Ironically, as a toddler this now teenage performer could be found singing "Let it Go" as she dressed up as Elsa.
In this below linked video playlist watch with the gathered Las Vegas Golden Knights hockey fans at a Watch Party held at the Henderson Silver Knight's Stadium and rink. While the players are on the road in Denver for this first game of the Western Championship finals, the team's cheerleaders and mascot have stayed behind and you can join with them in these videos.
(The Henderson Silver Knights are the American Hockey Team affiliate of the neighboring Las Vegas Golden Nights who are now in the final four teams vying for the Stanley Cup.)
In the first video the first goal of the series has been scored by Vegas. Join in by watching as the fans at the Watch Party go wild.
In the next video watch as a second goal is made and the fans add to the excitement,
In the third video watch the cheerleaders and mascot take the stage and the cheerleaders perform,
The final video shares the closing minutes of the game as yet another goal is added and the fans go on to celebrate the 4-2 Golden Knights victory.

Hail the gift of memory in this fifty-second state. Who sold me down the river and shafts me while he waits. Outside the gates of Eden, star spangled and so late.
Although the Casino Hotel Buffets of yesterday are disappearing, there are still a few "All You Can Eat" places in Las Vegas, this one in Chinatown, and if you time it right only $26.95:
Although best known for sushi, my recommendation, include orders for the skewered offerings including the best ever beef short ribs:

My guess was in Nevada, but Bodie is close.

That was a good guess, Bodie is south of Reno, close to the Nevada border. Same part of the world.
Join with Las Vegas Golden Knights fans as they gather for a second Watch Party in the Las Vegas vs Colorado playoff series for the Western title and right to compete in the final Stanley Cup games..
In the first away game the Golden Knights pulled off a win. Can they do it a second time to start the series 2-0 before a third game on home ice?
In this Playlist join in with the fans as they celebrate the team's first goal to tie the game midway into the third and last period,
This is then followed by a video of the fans celebrating a second goal to put the team ahead for the first time in the game.
The third video captures the closing minutes of the game as an empty net goal is added and the gathered fans at the outdoor Watch Party, along with the cheerleaders go on to celebrate the win.
A final video captures the fans as they prepare to disburse and look ahead to the next game which this time will be on home ice with the Las Vegas Golden Knights hanging onto a 2-0 series lead.
