S Joseph Levine

 

A special event is being planned to honor the memory of Major Bob Grof (KIA 10 April 1971). A musical composition entitled "When Day Is Done" has been commissioned in Bob's memory by friends who were fellow students/musicians at Michigan State University. The composition, being composed by Dr. Joe Spaniola (former head composer/arranger for the Air Force Academy Band), will be premiered on the East Lansing campus of MSU on April 6, 2014. The concert will be free and open to the public.

Bill, they have a double decker bus that goes from downtown to the Mandalay Bay Casino which you pay $8.00 a day and get an all access pass which allows you to go any direction the bus runs. They also have a monorail which only runs parallel to the East side of the Strip from the Sahara (close to the Circus-Circus) four (4) miles to the MGM Casino. Haven’t found out that price yet.
