Vegas! Part 2: Reactions

Las Vegas was a fun city. Las Vegas is a dessert city. Spending all your time there would be too fattening and generally unhealthy, but a little bit of it is good and adds a little sweetness to your life. Yeah, its in the desert, pun semi-intended.

I look forward to going back and exploring the things I didn't have time for this vacation. Other shows (Cirque de Soleil, Zumanity, maybe some magic), the attractions and displays at other casinos, hiking in Red Rock or riding in the Valley of Fires (when it is cooler).

Las Vegas has a lot of stuff you can see for free; the casinos write it off to suck you in, but you don't have to be sucked in. You can watch the fountain at the Bellagio without gambling there.

Ride the spiral escalators, look at the wild displays... heck, some of the billboards are worth a few minutes of your time.

I had a dream while sleeping at the Luxor. I dreamt that someone came into my room and adjusted the curtains. Someone else came in through a connecting door in the bathroom (there was a connecting door in the room, but not in the bathroom) and was brushing their teeth. I seldom have dreams like that - dreams where I'm in the same place in the dream and in reality. I was also able to move freely and speak; usually I'm handicapped in some fashion in my dreams.
