Great Ideas in Las Vegas....



Las Vegas took a lot of energy out of us, but it was well-worth it for the people we met and ridiculous sights we saw. My expectations were surpassed as to how contemporary and NICE all of the Casinos are, but the smell of cigarette smoke pervades any indoor space and the heat (when walking outside) wraps around you like a warm blanket. It wasn't until 1 AM that it actually cooled down to 95 degrees. After a full 5 weeks on the road, we fearlessly ventured out to the strip to seek our fortunes at the roulette wheel and blackjack table (but mostly to have a good time, drink for free, and NOT lose any money in the process). Mission Accomplished. We quit the gambling business at 5:30 AM with extra money in our pockets and new friends from England, Russia, the Ukraine, and exotic Arkansas. We even managed not to lose it the next day before our trek to Los Angeles.
