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)
I am working on a project of uploading all my old Las Vegas trip reports (there are somewhere between 200-300 individual days). I am right now up to November, 2003. These pictures are all from that one trip. I was kind of surprised when going through the disc these are saved on. I have been going to Las Vegas so regularly that I have seen all the changes as they happen. But to suddenly look back and see all the changes at once kind of astounded me.
Here are things that either no longer exist, have changed, or were just being built nearly a decade ago. I have plenty more pictures to share, many of things that no longer exist. Be patient and you shall see them all as I get further into this project.
