Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the following puzzle to determine the coordinates of the cache.

I spent the last week in the Las Vegas area, and I knew that I was going to have to scramble to hide a cache and create a puzzle after coming back home this morning. Driving around Vegas did give me a couple of puzzle ideas; so here is one featuring some people who have made a name in Sin City. Note that a few of the items require adjustments. Kudos to you if you recognize and can name all of them without looking them up. If you can do ten or more, you're probably doing pretty well.

Special Notes about the 2025 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which will probably happen sometime in March 2026). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep coming up with puzzles every month! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: I hid the cache at night, but it's probably best not to go skulking around at night in a residential neighborhood, if you can help it. I recommend approaching from the end of the cul-de-sac.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
