Las Vegas - Sin City
This is a top pick! ... , the old style Vegas with the flashing lights in the streets. I consider it to be a less showy, less pretencious version of Vegas, drinks are a hell of a lot cheaper (I suggest the beers served in plastic footballs). BUT... nothing beats the strip, it's ...

Madre's Bday in Vegas
This is a top pick! ... to Vegas in 20 years or so. We thought she should see the city in post-Sinatra and peri-Paris glory. That, and Derek loves Las Vegas. And I don't mean he enjoys it and it's a fun place to go every few years. I mean, if it's a slow ...
Zion National Park, Walking in the Virgin River
This is a top pick! ... of a detour to get to Vegas, but well worth it. We drove up to Kanab, and from there down to the Valley of Fire (near Vegas). In Kanab, a small touristic cowboy place, we decided to have a small bite at a BBQ place. Shockingly a slab of baby-back ribs was ...
United in our Anger. Welcome to Vegas.

Vegas Baby, Vegas
This is a top pick! ... ) and off you go. I must admit I was surprised at how little kickback there was from an AK47 but it sure was fun. Las Vegas is as trashy, tacky, glamorous and exciting as you can imagine. Downtown is tacky where it is filled with cheap motels, pawn shops ...
Bodies, Beer, Betting, Boobies and Burlesque
This is a top pick! Something for everyone. I suppose that could be argued for Vegas. You can probably find something to do if you don't like gambling or drinking. There are exhibitions on all sorts of things. We were contemplating going to do the CSI experience but have ...
