May 5
meaning "fifth of May" in Spanish. It is not the Mexico's independence day, but a celebration that actually started in the United States to honor Mexican heritage.
We found ourselves in the middle of Cinco de Mayo in Old Downtown Las Vegas. The old strip has been converted into a walking mall of sorts and is covered with a large expansive half circle screen where light shows, entertainers, and even tourists can been seen. At one time, they shut off all the lights, started up some music and a spectacular light show could be seen from one end of the strip to the other. For dinner, we made our way to a nearby restaurant and had prime rib dinner for $5.99. Cheap meals are Las Vegas' trade mark! Isn't that why we really go to Vegas!!
