Hollywood in Las Vegas, NM?

 

We are so happy we got to visit  "other Las Vegas", it sure is a quaint little town with lots of history.

Seems like we weren't the first ones to feel the draw of this little town either.  Las Vegas is one of the oldest Hollywood Film locations in the Southwest.

They have been filming movies in Las Vegas, NM since the silent film era!  Tom Mix, a cowboy actor from the early 1900s, called Las Vegas NM his favorite film location!

Other movies filmed in Las Vegas were Easy Rider, No Country for Old Men and Red Dawn, just to name a few.

One of the more recent shows to be filmed in this area(and all around New Mexico) is one the pawrents

watched.....

They thought it was filmed in Wyoming...but, as proved in this picture

they took off the LV PLaza, it was filmed here in Las Vegas!

Longmire started out as an A&E show, but moved to Netflix. 

The pawrents recommend it highly!

(Mama also recommends the Walt Longmire Mystery series of books by Craig Johnson).

If you are movie buffs like Mama, you might enjoy this older video

Mama found on YouTube about Las Vegas and the movies.

We sure did enjoy our visit to the Historic "Other Las Vegas", thanks for joining us! New Mexico has so many beautiful places to visit and we can't wait to explore them all(and show them to you)!

Travel Tuesday - Snow!

 

 A couple of weeks ago, I was pupnapped...

Again!

 

 

 

 

Little was I to know, this pupnapping 

would be much more rewarding!

 

 We went up hill for about 87 miles(or maybe 10)

and found.....

 

 

 SNOW!!!

 

It seems the pawrents thought I might like the chance to take a little hike in some deep snow. There hasn't been any measurable snow at our house this Winter, but, only an hour away, in the Sandia Mountains(the ones we can see from our house) there is a bunch of snow!!

 

 

 

 

As we drove up to the tippity top of the mountain the snow kept getting deeper and deeper! 

We saw snowmen....

 

 

 

...and beautiful views as we got closer to the top.

 

 

 

When we got as close as we could to the top...

 

 

 

The snow is deeper than deep!!!

 

 

 

 They have lots of wildlife in the area

 

 

 

...and just look at the view!!! 

 

 

 

 That is all of Albuquerque and its suburbs down there!!

Here is a video Mama made sharing our journey:

 

 

You can also watch it HERE on YouTube

I have to say, this adventure was definitely worth being pupnapped!
