ITALIAN FESTIVAL IN LAS VEGAS

At one of the new hotel, spa and casinos in Las Vegas, called the "M" (very south on Las Vegas Blvd) they held a Italian festival.


We enjoyed some of the sights and sounds....the "people"getting ready for the grape stomping contest.

They had a local "personalities" (tv, radio, ect) competing in the grape stomp....this gal was REALLY doing her job well. They have a "stomper" and "swamper" (someone who clears the fawcet of grape debris, and the wine jug holder under the spout....
Unforntunately, although she worked it really hard, they came in second....

The festival included different boths that held really good Italian food of all different kinds. Includind a fresh veggie market and (yes I bought a big old loaf of ciabatta bread) and bakery...
Some wine and food and music too.This is a booth with roasted artichoke hearts...yummy

The setting here with the band stand in the background...and my friend Jackies head in the front. Sorry Jackie!!! Held at the pool at the M casino....very nice spot

The most fun was watching the kids in a Spaghetti eating contest.....I laughed and laughed and laughed....

And as you can see, they weren't allowed to use their hands at all. I just love that kids do things without a care in the world....
