... this one doesn't have it's nose missing). But then you remember what is financing all this. The misery of many, those who lose sustantial amounts of money they can't afford, including those that end up losing their homes, their livelihoods and their families, and some even their lives. Or those that come seeking some relief or happiness, and bury themselves in a dark and smoky hole with flashing lights and incessant beeping.

... from our rear but with gusts that one needed to be prepared for. At Hwy 93 we turned east towards Boulder City and the Hoover Dam. We were interested in checking out the camping along Lake Mead but after a visit to the tourist info bureau near the dam, we opted to spend the next couple of nights at Sam's Town - Boulder RV Park in Vegas. We didn't actually see the dam, but visited the site in 1990. So once again we ...

... obscene amounts of money at the "hot spots". First, we went right back to our hotel Luxor, where the club in the lobby was the uber-hyped-up LAX. We had heard that DJ A.M. (famous for dating Nicole Ritchie" was spinning that night. The entrance fee was waived because of who we knew, but when the bartender there asked me for $10 after I ordered my rum and Coke, I laughed out loud and said no thanks.

... prohibiting cameras on the golf course. As a matter of fact, he took some pictures of me throughout the round. Hey for $500 I want more souvenirs than my memories and a bag tag! The pre-round warm up was helping because I was striking the ball, well. It prompted Charlie to guess that I was a 10-11 handicap golf and he was surprised when I told him I was a 22 handicapper.

Today we got up early and caught Virgin America Airlines to LAS VEGAS!!! We checked into our hotel, The Excalibur at the south end of the strip, next to New York New York and the MGM Grand. Pokie machines, restaurants, bars everywhere, and that was just the hotel. Went for a walk along the strip, Rich was shocked and amazed at how big, bright and crazy everything was, Leight started having flashbacks of his drunken ...

... shuttle the only person in Las Vegas without a cell phone? Nice. So our only option is to get a cab and try to make it to the airport in time - which is 30 miles outside of Vegas. Luckily it is only 5:30 a.m., and there is no traffic. So what does our cabbie do? Hop on the nearest freeway and book it? NO!!! He takes side streets. AND WE HIT EVERY FRICKIN' RED LIGHT IN LAS VEGAS!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Where is our cab ...

... voordat de echte show begon, zag je links en rechts, achter je en boven je diverse figuren heen en weer renne en omhoog en omlaag klimmen. Het voelden aan of we nu al IN de voorstelling zaten. Omdat we vooraan zaten kregen we een speciale instructie. We moesten onze benen en spullen onder onze stoel leggen en niet schrikken niet bang zijn. En verder opletten want de spelers zouden op 1m afstand voor je neus komen te staan...en boven je hoofd. Dat beloofde spannend te ...

... of Treasure Island pirate show and the Lions in MGM Grand. One perk was that we were upgraded because our room was booked up when we arrived. The Luxor hotel itself was pretty suave. Polished granite and marble everywhere dedicated to the ancient egyptian theme. We spent an hour or so to check out the pool to cool ourselves off at lunch. One thing about deserts... they are hot. And las vegas looks so out of place stuck out there amongst the barren ...

Late at night... multiple types of luggage bags to pick from.. holy smokes!! will we ever be ready? we just found a locking mount to lock the hand-held GPS and we are so excited... maps. details and so many things to think of.. Wayne heading off to a 2 day ...

... famosi. Ci mangiamo due pizza steak (pizza con carne) e due birre alla spina (costo Euro 15,00).. Alle 17.40 partenza da Philadelphia per Las Vegas McCarran Airport - http://www.mccarran.com . Il volo di trasferimento è altrettanto tranquillo e veloce. Alle 20.00 come da programma arriviamo a Las Vegas (temperatura diurna circa 5 gradi) e ritiriamo l'auto a noleggio Hertz (una Volvo ...
