Viva Las Vegas!
Just got back from a sort-of spontaneous trip to Vegas with Michael and our pals Matt and Mike. I'd never been before--only driven through once in the summer of '87 with my sister--so this was quite the experience. I gambled a little; I think my final tally was a negative 50 bucks or so (as opposed to the total for the much-more-successful Mike). We ate at some cheapo buffets, had a lot of G&Ts, and took a daylong rental-car trip to the Hoover Dam and to Red Rock Canyon (photos below).
(By the way, in all my years, I've never seen so many: (a) obese people; (b) chainsmokers; and (c) Jazzies, Hoverounds, and other "personal mobility" scooter vehicles.)
But on a slightly more healthy and bodily attractive note: on our final night, we had great seats at Cirque du Soleil's O at the Bellagio (which was the coolest hotel we saw--and we walked through a hell of a lot of them--thanks in part to the excellent Dale Chihuly glass sculptures. Below: more photos from our Vegas trip. And now... back to work.
