    DrHaggis and I recently returned from a 4-day trip to Las Vegas. The Force guided us to some of the hidden Star Wars treasures in the desert. This is what we found:

    Star Wars penny slot machines. We found these in a number of casinos, namely the Las Vegas Hilton, Ceasar's Palace, and the Bellagio.

    Above the machines, clips from A New Hope play on a large scren. When you get a winning spin, the characters come to life with quotes from the movie.

    Sometimes you get a bonus called (what else?) the DEATH STAR bonus, at which time, you shoot two Storm Troopers, and then the Death Star above your head (third pic) spins and tells you how much you win.

    These photos were taken at the M&M's store. The display was taller than Kent and I. It was wonderful, though Chewie seems to be molting a little bit. :cool:

    The fourth level of the store (yes, there are FOUR levels at the M&M's store!) has the M&M's race car, all decked out in M&M's characters.

    We had a really fun trip! Just thought I'd share these with the rest of the group. ;)
