Heading to Las Vegas to hang with the hubby for a couple of nights. He's at a tradeshow. Virgin Air flies there nonstop from SFO for $49 each way!
The title pretty much covers it.
Greetings from Las Vegas and the National Rodeo Finals. Actually, the American Ground Water Expo (tagged along on a business trip). Not an unusual pairing---they've both been on the Vegas ticket for years. As usual, the casino floor looks like a strange mix of flamingos in a herd of buffalo, what with the spangled women in the sea of cowboy hats. The hats stay on while they eat; I don't reckon there's anyplace to put them at the table. I was blinded by the rhinestone belts.
I had much more to say on this topic initially, but y'know, Vegas is what it is. Most everyone has their own (and everchanging) take on it. I'll just post some pics and say it's not the best place to Christmas shop unless you've got bank.
I entered one store inside the Wynn hotel. They were having a shoe sale. The shoe I picked up was marked down to $748. I don't have time for that nonsense. But that's part of what Vegas is about/has become.
Spoken like a real geezer.
