VEGAS is a great place for stress relief. Up until the economy took a nosedive I made a point of traveling out there at least three or four times a year and never once was I bored ... you can't beat the action, the excitement, and, oh mercy - the people watching. And, if you tire of the fun (yeah right) you can rent a convertible (or a Harley) and drive an hour away from the Strip and be surrounded by the beauty of the desert. Sigh ... gee thanks .... now I'm ready to go! By the way KennesawDave ... Star Trek used to be in the Hilton.

Sorry that it wasn't profitable. Hopefully, the meals still got paid for. :) I need to go out to Vegas one of these days. Anyone I know who has gone had a blast and had nothing but good things to say. I know one place I would go for sure being the geek that I am. Not sure what hotel it's in but I'd like to go do the Star Trek experience they have out there. I want to say it's in the MGM but couldn't say for sure. Maybe if no one wins the lotto this week and and rolls over again I'll take my last week of vacation from my job and go have some fun. :) Sounds like you had a a nice time Steve.

I saw a woman at Ceasar's on the craps table with $87,000 worth of chips and not a clue. She had a ring the size of a small planet on her hand and a wig she bought at Wal-Mart on her head. It wasn't even straight. She wore some Elvis sunglasses, since the 1 a.m. sunlight is so bright, and on every roll she went "Whoooo-eeeeee," even on the losing ones. I'm not sure but either she's reallllllllyyyyy lucky or there's a sugar daddy out there with poor eyesight. Still, isn't that why we're there? The Human Zoo was alive and well. There was like show and tell by the plastic surgeons. Good times. Okay, back. Good trip–not profitable but good.
