Travel: Las Vegas
Friday, December 7, 2007

One of my favorite places to travel to is Las Vegas. It is an entertainment mecca. I love to be entertained. The great thing about the place is that a great number of entertainment is free. Even for places that cost money - the price is reasonable.

I think one the things I like most about Las Vegas is that the town is geared towards adults. I used to like Disney World, but it wasn't enough. I wondered where else there was to go. I would often head to Florida because it was easy and short. However, I've discovered it takes roughly the same amount of time to reach Las Vegas.

I also don't gamble. Wait, I do. I invest in the stock market, so I suppose there's no difference. I rarely if ever touch a slot machine. I've never played black jack or poker. I don't know how to play poker. I've forgotten the rules for black jack. I once asked one of the nitwits at Bellagio how to play Backgammon and he handed me a manual. Oh yes, fuck you very much. I'm just playing, he was nice.

I have a hankering right now to go to Las Vegas. I went last year. The weather right now suits me just fine: sometimes wet, a bit chilly, yet moderate. It reminds me of England.

In that town, you start fresh. You are whoever you want to be. Nobody bothers you. In fact, I love the treatment, it's very customer service oriented without an obvious, overt "gimme a tip" mentality. I love it: There's so much to see, and so much to do.
