Hello Las Vegas!

We're heading down to Las Vegas today! WOO HOO! Where else can you go from ancient Egypt to New York City to Paris to ancient Rome to Venice and every other place in between in just one day?

It's been 8 years since I've visited Sin City. Susan and I last went in July '98 and well, it was SMOKIN' HOT - like a jet engine was blasting us all day long, except when we went into the exceptionally cold casinos. Anyway, it's about 12 degrees right now so it should be much more comfortable this time around. Since we were there last, a lot has been built in Vegas. We're just going to walk around town and see the sites, eat some buffets, and just lounge around. But there are definitely things I want to see and do such as:

1. Watch the Fountains at the Bellagio at night
2. Stroll the Canal Shops at the Venetian (complete with singing gondoliers)
3. Witness the rain storm in the Desert Passage at the Aladdin (although I've seen plenty of rain in my life)
4. See the Lions at the MGM Grand, the Tigers at The Mirage, and the Flamingoes at the Hilton
5. Browse FAO Schwarz when it's decked out for Christmas at the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace
6. Put in my two bits at the Preview Studios at the Venetian and the CBS Research Center at the MGM Grand
7. Eat at Le Village buffet at The Paris, followed by a visit to the Eiffel Tower
8. See the 12.5 million lights on Fremont Street
9. Eat cheap subs at Capriotti's
10. Watch Susan eat yet another cheap shrimp cocktail
11. Check out the dueling pianos at The Bar at Times Square at New York New York

Well have a good weekend everyone! Be back on Sunday!!
