Fall of Atlantis

This, free, Fall of Atlantis show is at the Caesars Palace Forum Shops area. The story: King Atlas tries to decide which of his two children will rule Atlantis. The children try to destroy each other, with the winner to be the ruler. However, the gods are not pleased with their behavior and send a 20–foot winged beast to watch the destruction of Atlantis by fire and water. The audio was just as poor when we saw the show as it is on this movie clip. (Feb. 24, 2007)

Gondolier March at the Venetian

The gondoliers march to work singing at 9:45 a.m. They also repeat the performance, I assume, in the other direction, at 4:30 p.m. At the Venetian Grand Canal, free. (This was taken on Feb. 26, 2007. The schedule might be different now.)

Accordian Player at the Venetian

Since this “street performer” was being paid by the Venetian, I didn’t even have to give him any money to take this movie clip. I don’t know who the guy was who decided to be a part of the movie. Free, near the Las Vegas Blvd. entrance. (Feb. 26, 2007)

Clown at the Rio

This clown was warming up the audience before the Masquerade Show in the Sky at the Rio casino. He couldn’t figure out why I didn’t just take his photo and then put the camera down. He didn’t realize that I was taking a movie of him. Free, various times from 3 p.m. on. (Feb. 26, 2007)

Kris and Brandi’s Las Vegas Elvis Wedding

Right before the “Elvis wedding” of Brandi Lomeli and my son, Kris Drouet, they were legally married by Bob, an ordained Methodist minister, at the Elvis Chapel, Las Vegas, Nevada. Brandi and Elvis didn’t realize that I was taking a movie clip of the wedding. They were wondering why my camera flash didn’t go off and why I was still holding my camera still––you’ll see them a bit confused looking at me. (June 13, 2009)
