This is sign is a and perhaps the iconic image of Las Vegas.  It's a destination in and of itself today.  Located on beyond on the South end of the strip, most vistors only see it by seeking it out as arrival in Vegas today via by interstate highway or by air bypasses it.]]></content:encoded>

This lion sits out front MGM Grand.  The Lion mascot brings me back to staying at the MGM Grand Reno as kid on ski trips to Tahoe.  With its origin in the golden age of Hollywood, the MGM Lion has a level of class that hard to find on today's strip which mostly screams excess rather than class.]]></content:encoded>
