Mario Parga:

"I'm often told by fans that my blog is popular with them, particularly the entries concerning Las Vegas and the surrounding area where I live. So, whilst rummaging through some video tapes I found footage of my wife and I driving down Las Vegas Boulevard ('The Strip') back in 2006.

I can remember we'd been out by Lake Mead that day and had the video camera with us, we were in our convertible car (perfect for looking up at the billions of lights!) so Shawna drove down The Strip whilst I held the camcorder. Two of the older casinos from the Rat Pack era are visible in the video, 'The Frontier' and 'The Stardust', both of which were sadly demolished shortly after to make way for something new.

The video's original audio was full of noise, (the typical loud sounds of Las Vegas Boulevard!), so I used the song 'Entranced' (Entranced, 2007) as the soundtrack. I'd almost finished recording the 'Entranced' album when this footage was taken. Hope you like it!"
