Viva Las Vegas! Well, it's off to Las Vegas, NV tomorrow. Sin City, gambling the night away, drinks , debauchery, loose women and... Dad! Yep, I'm going with my father, who has never been there before. First stop, the Chicken Ranch! Oops, just kidding, no brothels are on our schedule. Actually, I've only been to Vegas three times: once for a wedding and twice by myself. I'm not much of a gambler. I like Vegas for the shows and the basic concept that Vegas is basically a slightly morally corrupt version of Epcot Center or Disneyland. Each hotel/casino is it's own little "theme world." Excalibur is "medieval world," Luxor is "Egypt world," Caesar's Palace is "Roman world," New York , New York is obnoxious bastard world (a joke!), etc. In truth, I come back to Vegas for the shows. This year, the big one I want to see is "Mama Mia." Ok yep, ABBA fan, sorry. Will also probably see "Jubilee" and Lance Burton's magic act. We should have a great time. I'll report on the outcome when we get back.
