Vegas

Adam and I spent three days, three nights in Vegas last week with his family. We stayed at a Hilton - it was no Venetian, but was on the strip and as long as we didn't mind walking through 110 degree desert heat we could easily get to the casinos and resorts. A couple highlights...


the Trojan Horse at Caesar's Palace


inside the Venetian


Excalibur


Luxor


New York New York



I think my favorite part was Cirque de Soleil, which I don't have any pictures of. We saw "Love" which is coreographed to Beatles music - it was fantastic!

As far as gambling, I liked video poker (thanks for the advice Mike Diehl) but I liked craps and blackjack even more. I even think I came out $5 or $10 ahead in the end! I think I'll end, though, by agreeing with Mike Diehl when he said that he won't be in any hurry to go back, except as a stopover to someplace else. Next time I see a pyramid of Egypt or a canal of Venice, I hope it will be the real thing.
