    Kilted in Las Vegas

    Here I am in the lobby of the Mandalay Bay Casino Resort. This place has a beach and a wave pool that cranks out perfect body-surfing waves.



    Here I am in the Arboretum of the Bellagio. The Venetian was my favorite casino though -- they did a good job of replicating the canals of Venice and St. Mark's Plaza in a small space. They didn't replicate the thousands of pigeons and the foul odor of the water -- thank goodness.



    On the return trip, while going through the security checkpoint, the TSA guy who was passing me through the sniffer shouted to one of the other TSA guys, "Utilikilt!" He said the guy was still in training. So, apparently the TSA people are being trained to recognize Utilikilts. I was wearing pretty much the same outfit as in the photo.

    Man, I always appreciate seeing you in a kilt. You probably get better questions than the rest of us, you should share some of them.

    Must really challenge some people's perspective.

    With Respect.

    So the guy was saying, "Utilikilt! This guy's OK. Let him pass." Right?

    Nice pictures. I may be heading to Vegas next January. I haven't been there in about 12 years. I will definitely travel with my kilt and a pair of Elvis Glasses

    I really like the look of the tucked in Aloha shirt with the UK!
