The wildlife in the desert area behind the Nevada Landing Hotel and Casino was shy and scurried away quickly. I was lucky to snap this picture of our little lizard friend. He was pretending to be a rock until he noticed that I wasn’t fooled. Seconds after I clicked this picture, he was under the rock. The rest of the residents of the area were kind enough to stay still, but rusty cans and abandoned golf balls are always willing subjects for the paparazzi.

In the last photo, you can see our hotel in the background. I kind of wish that I had bothered to take some nice photos of the hotel. Instead, the only advertisement I have for the place is just background for some really old and decrepit garbage.
