Las Vegas Memorial Day weekend

Liz & Evelyn at the 2005 WSOP

Las Vegas is crowded with partying holiday people. Many in the crowd packed into the sports books to bet and watch the Indy 500, NASCAR 600 and pro roundball. Thousands were here to witness first hand the Ultimate Fighting Challenge at the MGM Grand Garden where Quinton Jackson stunned favorite Chuck Liddell with a sweeping right upper cut to end the match after 1:53 minutes of the first round.

This Friday we start the month and a half of World Series of Poker at the Rio Las Vegas. After all is said, done and the final flop is set there will be 55 players going home with those elusive gold bracelets. For the last day of your three day holiday weekend I’m offering some vintage views from the 2005 WSOP.

Have a safe, fun Memorial Day. All photos taken at the 2005 WSOP…
