We are in Vegas, haven’t had net for a few days but plenty of action here. The place is more amazing than the last time we visited about 10 years ago. Everything old has been pulled down and new towers built more exotic and amazing than the last. There is so much development going on here, the strip will double in size over the next 12-18 months. Some of the new casinos being built would be 2 or mores sizes bigger than Crown.  The place gives a way a lot of it’s magic during the day- and the sun is so bright (fortunately its only about 25) but at night it dazzles. All the freaks come out there are dozens of  Mexicans trying to spruke girls, timeshare sprukers, the odd religious or morals protester, plenty of bums and neon, LCD, waterfalls, lions and so many cheap deals to get you into the casino. And entertainers, sure you have the usuals Barry Manillo and Wayne Newton but in the next week alone there’s Elton, Cher, Madonna, Jimmy Buffett, Bette Midler and a cast of others plus half the hotels have a Circu Du Sol show or some other huge production and the Flamingo even has Donnie and Marie every night.
