It is hard to believe that you could find enough things to make up 4 floors of M&M's but if there is any place than can manage it is Las Vegas. The city where just about anything goes. You can see any kind of show gamble your hard earned cash away as Vegas has come up with more ways to fleece the flock than the catholic church. Last weekend they had a Nascar race here. Imagine one weekend and they estimate this city generated 210 million dollars. Not a typo it was that much. The last time I was here Vegas was a little town but it has now a BIGGG city.
There were gaps in between the hotels and casino's back in 91. Not anymore. Wall to wall grid lock and offering any type of booze, entertainment or perversion one can imagine. Still it has a certain charm and appeal that one has the chance at making it big with just pull of a handle. lol The fact remains that most people that are here cannot even afford this place. But the lure is set and millions of suckers are here to take the hook.
To me Ceasar Palace is still the class of the strip if there is such a thing here anymore. The extreme fighting championship is being held here soon. Too bad I am going to miss that> Of course I am really sad I have missed the bullfights in Spain the cockfights in Mexica and Micheal Virks fight to the death dog fights. Yum yum. They have done the place up well though it is pretty spectacular.
If you want to see a place where real estate has fallen further than the US green back it is here, only behind Florida. Stay tuned it is coming to your town. We have only seen the tip of this iceberg.
We ran into our friend Dorda and Anne here and we were out today getting some M&Ms as well taking in the sites. They are redoing the Mirage and Siegfried and Roy are going to be the headline act when it is done and reopens. Who would have guessed. We have 2 more days here then we are off to St. Georges Utah to tale in Bryce and Zion National Parks. More our speed.
Take care all. Jim
