I don't have to know what I am taking a picture of, in order to take the picture, and that is the case here.Last night I saw the third building at The Palms partially lit up for the first time. I don't know what the function of the third building will be.

In these shots of the present state of The Frontier, a security guard is sitting on a chair. By my estimation, the location of the guard is within a few feet of where one of the old timey cowboy slot machines were located.

Happy New Year 2008 from Las Vegas, Nevada. As can be seen in the top two photos in this post, the main entrance of The Frontier (front valet entrance) does not exist any longer.

In order to amplify the significance of this post, there is no accompanying photograph. (Not today anyway.)The "face" of The Frontier is gone. I am referring to that remaining front wall of The Frontier which can be seen in the last few posts on this blog.The north entrance, which was near the arrow sign, is gone, completely. No doors, no walls, no entryway, no executive office rotary

There is nothing much left, in a tangible sense, of the interior of The Frontier. There are still some sections of outer wall which remain up, (as a shield between pedestrian traffic and the demolition work occurring on the other side of the wall), but it is nothing more than an empty face; like the bank building at Rhyolite.Photographing the north entrance, I saw something interesting in the
