Obviously was at the Mandalay Bay Resort today getting tickets for daughter and friends for a concert by One Republic. And took some videos/pictures to put other Vegas wannabee cities to shame. Giant Headless Statue Of Lenin Las Vegas, Nevada Nothing spits in the dead eye of a counter-capitalist political system like standing one of its heroes inside a Las Vegas casino and cutting off his head. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924), who was one of the leaders of the Soviet revolution, stands outside Red Square, a pricey vodka bar along Mandalay Bay Hotel-Casinos indoor restaurant row. An iron giant of heroic proportions, the decapitated Communists shoulders and shoe tops are stained white with what appears to be simulated bird poop. Of course, Vegas is a city of heroic proportions, and Lenin is just one more minor landmark. Without his head, hes even more oblique and Sphinx-like than the Luxor Sphinx next door. The Lenin statues head is frozen inside a block of ice within the bars walk-in freezer, reportedly viewable by patrons who buy the expensive stuff and ask nicely for a peek.
