Very small intimate gathering to remember and pay tribute to those lost. Spent about 30 minutes, but you can spend much longer looking at everything left in-depth. Each victim has their own tree planted and decorated with lovely things from their family and friends

Big Rig Jig made by Mike Ross
From the moment Big Rig Jig was placed in the former Fergusons Motel courtyard locals wondered what was coming, the answer now fully visible with two Restaurants from Dan Krohmer, a Coffee Shop and green space offering live music, movies and more. Expanding DTLV's footprint further east than ever, the revitalization of the 1940s space looks offer a space for the community that celebrates creativity. From plants to leather and handmade to salvage this is how you develop relationships and lasting ideas in a city often considered transient.

At the edge of the parking area were quite a few plaques on pedestals with LOTS of historical information on them! Also, extremely scenic area.

Art Deco sculptures that are on the side of the dam. These are bronze and very large winged angels I would say and beautifully done. Got to park and walk to them to get a good view.

Dedication to this infamous gangster is hidden in the Flamingo's garden.
I must admit that, of all the attractions in Las Vegas, the one I was most interested in seeing was the Bugsy Siegel Memorial. If you've seen the movie "Bugsy" with Warren Beatty and any of the other Luciano/Lansky/Siegel documentaries, you come away fascinated by Siegel's vision of building the original Flamingo Hotel and Casino in 1946 and turning Las Vegas from a desert hideaway into a multi-billion-dollar entertainment and gambling mecca. Today, Las Vegas offers mob museums and tours. But the Bugsy Siegel Memorial or Benjamin Bugsy Siegel Plaque remains the only important landmark to the mobster who made it all happen. Located at 3555 Las Vegas Boulevard, on the east side of The Strip, in the outdoor garden of the Flamingo Las Vegas, at the end of an open-air fuchsia canopy, in front of the Flamingo Las Vegas' wedding chapel, just north of Flamingo Road, is a bronze plaque dedicated to Siegel. He opened the original Flamingo in 1946. It stood where the garden and swimming pool of the new Flamingo now sprawl. With 77 rooms, it was the largest and most luxurious Las Vegas resort of its day. And its success paved the way for the Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mirage and Luxor, the 4,000-room giants that currently line the Las Vegas Strip. It also proved to be Siegel's undoing. Cost of construction was over $6 million, well over the mob's budget. And Siegel's penchant for publicity also displeased his fellow mobsters. He was killed only six months after the Flamingo opened. But his vision will always remain.

I almost missed this because I was expecting a small statue for some reason. It's in an area going back towards T-Mobile Arena. Look for the color changing waterfall and Hello Kitty food truck, and it's back behind there. It's a beautiful statue. Great for pics.
