Gifts and Things

Vegas Baby gift shop in the Blue Chip Casino has some fantastic gift ideas. When it comes to the special woman in my life, the staff, especially Jane, at Vegas Baby is extremely helpful. When that special lady in my life opens her gift she no longer throws it at me. That is a good thing.

An interesting place to shop is at the RIVERSIDE MARKET where the old Pioneer Lumber was located. It is down the street from Bridges Restaurant.
