Wet ‘n’ Wild Construction Photos: Will it Open On Time?

May 10, 2013
Wet 'n' Wild

Wet 'n' Wild, will it open by May 27th?

The heat is on, and it not the weather. The looming deadline of May 27 is approaching blazing fast. Can the Las Vegas’ brand new water park be ready in time? to help answer that question, here are the latest photos of Las Vegas’ upcoming water park Wet ‘n’ Wild.

With the new water park getting ready to open in about 10 days, there is a lot of thing that still have to happen. From the photos you can see that the major slides are set up and some of them are up and running. Still to be complete is the plastering on the lazy river or as they call it the Colorado Cooler and probably the Red Rock Bay. The cabanas have been set up. But most of the large construction pieces seem to be in place.  There is going to be a lot of little things that will need to be finish, internal fencing between attractions, gates, ropes, awnings, signage, shops, restaurants plus all the final landscaping has to be installed. The majority of the landscaping already completed and has a nice balance of desert friendly rocks and plants, but a loot needs to be added on the interior.

Las Vegas' new water park, Wet 'n' Wild Water Park. (under construction)

The place is larger the the original Wet ‘n Wild (Las Vegas Strip 1990-2004 at 27 acres) compared to this one at 41 acres. The parking lot and the attraction area are both bigger.

The place is coming together very fast but, can it be done by this Memorial Day?  I believe it will miss its deadline of Memorial Day, but by probably open about 2 weeks later -say June 10th. Can’t wait for it to open.

Las Vegas Foodie Fest 2013 – Photos

April 29, 2013

Three days of food truck goodness at this years Las Vegas Foodie Fest ended this Sunday with tried staff and empty trucks. The busy weekend feature local and regional food trucks including the Great Food Truck Race’s Season 3 winner, Seoul Sausage Co.

Big long lines, lots of trucks and weather too hot for April as the crowds packed the festival. I could not believe that people where waiting for 3-5  hours to trying to get some a few White Castle burgers when there was other great options available.

Here are some photos of the trucks at the festival. Including the non invite Sin City Snoballs out front of Bass Pro Shops. Sorry about the poor photo quality (iPhone), the DSLR was out of juice. Enjoy anyway.
