the 2012 Jingle Bell Rock has been found!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Gordon McDaniel

Congratulations to Gordon McDaniel who has found the jingle bell rock worth $10,000. Right on. Wooohoo!! Congratulations man, we are happy for you. And who is the lovely lady with you? That's my wife Ann. Ann how are you. Just fine thank you. Thank you for yelling from the back of the room. Alright. First of all where did you find it? Burkholder and Magic Way in Henderson. And what clue led you to that. This combination uh this past week it's been leading us down Boulder Highway. What toped it this afternoon was the clue about beans. I puzzled about it for a while and uh finally came up with Jack and the Bean Stock, magic beans, (oh wow) And just started driving magic way. And were there any other people out in that area looking? There were people out there all over the place, with the closest person was probably a hundred yards away, a lot of people walking off into the deep desert. Burkholder and South Magic Way, is that like a corner, are there corners there? Yeah, it's kind of an intersection, uh one road's paved, Burkholder's paved, and uh Magic Way is dirt road at that section. Just didn't look like it fit in where it was? Yeah, I'm familliar with these particular stones, these pavers, I think I've used something real simillar to this in the past around the house. Well unfortunately we can't let you keep that, uh to use as a paver in your back yard any more but instead we'll give you a ten thousand dollar bounty a grand prize. Way to go! Fair trade. Wooooooo! What are you going to do with all that cash this holiday season? Oh heck I don't know, there's always imporvements around the house, this that and the other thing, so I'm sure we'll put it to good use. I have some ideas for you if you want to chat afterwards. Heh heh heh he ha

This year was crazy.. I was everywhere with the clues. Up behind the MGM by Audry street, Under the 15 freeway at Tropicana, off Sahara by the monorail, down paradise, behind the stratosphere, downtown on 4th. @ Fremont by the Neonopolis, over by the Neon boneyard, over there by Desert Breeze, and by the Thomas and Mack. We had fun trying to figure out the clues. I found out some interesting things about Las Vegas along the way.. like good ol "Big Jim Cashman" without his heavy equipment this town would probably not be here today. We discovered the old Las Vegas and some of the first casinos on the strip.. the Pair O Dice, El Rancho, and the Frontier.. and people like bankers E. Parry Thomas and Jerome Mack. Of the Thomas and Mack center. I found some streets that had breath taking views of the Las Vegas strip. Hidden from most people.. we had fun and frustration too as the Jingle Bell Rock was nowhere near any of them areas. Only the last clues had lead to the area of Magic way. And burkholder Henderson. So congratulations to: Gordon Mc Daniel who found the Jingle Bell Rock. And won $10,000.00
Thanks to DeCall Thomas for his hard work and time posting the clues.. and 96.3 KKLZ 
Still had fun with my daughter and look forward to next year.. to find the JINGLE BELL ROCK. 
Marry Christmas everyone.."
