Las Vegas Travel Blog: June 14, 2005: Last Day

Note:  This is an older Las Vegas trip report that I am posting for the entertainment of Las Vegas addicts and anyone else who loves fun.  It was written back in 2005.  Most of this information is now outdated and some places mentioned no longer exist.

Tuesday, June 14, 2005 – Day Ten of Ten

Cow Parade – Las Vegas, Nevada

Back in 2003, Las Vegas had a Cow Parade featuring a bunch of cows with clever names. There was even a cow hospital!

Once it was over, the cows were sold for charity. These were located inside (what was then) the Desert Passage Mall inside the Aladdin Hotel. This is now The Miracle Mile inside the Planet Hollywood Hotel.

The one exception is my personal favorite cow, named Wayne Mooton. He was located outside the Stardust Hotel, where Wayne Newton performed (RIP Stardust)
