Yes, you've heard it all before.
So, what's new but different about Sin City. We all have our stories and most of them have some tangy edge here and there.
But suffice it to say that Vegas is a phenom. It's an absurd iconoclastic environmental disaster and it's a kind of bizarre necessity in the world. It channels pure hope and elemental desires into a form people can access and believe - even for an instant - that they are truly wealthy and that everything's possible.
It has a certain undeniable allure... albeit a sometimes lurid one.
So, what to do in Vegas? Here's my trip/tip.
Hit the strip at 10 pm Friday with the intention of dancing the night away. Get a couple of comp tickets to clubs from your hotel. If you're a hardcore club-hopper, there are VIP services that allow you to not only get in 'free' but jump the line, to boot.
The club scene is pretty wild. Very sexy but with it's own constraints, limits and rules. You have to kind of get the rules by gestalt, but in Mirage's JET lounge, there's this raised platform where tiny 20-nothing hott supermodel wannabes in tight, short dresses and high heels seductively touch and grind against one another to a primal beat, but it was specifically taboo for men to be directly involved. So, sexy wild AND safe-ish.
And with dawn ends the first night.
Saturday, poolside, in the spa, deep relaxation of whatever sort you choose.... until the evening when an early Cirque du Soleil show followed by a late supper (or vice versa) makes for a romantic and luxurious interlude.
Sunday: fly home.
You can also gamble legally.

 Just like a street in
France, ya know? by catalysta
Stoopid Comment #1
I awoke to a gloriously sunny day - bearing in mind, please, that we're in the Dark cycle back home in Alaska - and I was filled with admiration for the lovely blue sky. I felt all sorts of profound feelings, like the way a simliar quality of light inspired Cezanne to paint his masterworks, and led Georgia O'Keefe to her own personal vision. What came out was, "Gee the sun here is just so.....so SUNNY."

Hilly was waxing eloquent about some guy problems she'd been having, and popped out with, "...and ya know, there just aren't any intuitive men." (LuLu & I of course cracked up.)
Stoopid Comment #3
Hilly's dad Dan was with us for the last couple of daze, and was soon affected by the same stoopid drug that had numbed our brains: "Hey, have you been in the Paris Casino? I was in there the other day, and do you know, they've got it decorated like you're in some street in France!" No duh. Leave a Comment

 Las Vegas Strip by Martinewezel
Where else on earth would you allow your 16 and 18 years old kids to walk in the street on their own after midnight?

 Las Vegas Blvd at Flamingo by raevnzno
When I'm traveling, the one thing I miss most about LV is the fact that this is the real 24 hour town. I like being able to to out to eat at 10-11p without any problems. Most of the cities I visit really seem to be very limited on choices for dinner at 11p. After living here for a while, it almost seems like all the other cities close up tight after 9pm Leave a Comment

Watching the fountains outside of Bellagio. This is a casino that has a fountain show either every hour or half our to a couple of different songs. Leave a Comment

Of course, there are so many other hotels/casinos that are worth while visiting - the Mandalay, the Venice, the Bellagio, the new Paris, just to name a few. The ones I have presented are the ones which I think are the most fun. The new ones tend to be expensive and exclusive and to me seem like brushed-up copies of the original - the Mirage.

I lived in Las Vegas for several years from '87 till the mid '90s. Even though I live in Boston for the time being, I visit my family there several times a year and still consider myself a Las Vegas native. I went to high school and college here; there are many fond memories which are of a personal realm so they can't be related here :) Leave a Comment
