Viva Las Vegas!

Vegas is the city that never sleeps (or is that new york?). Well, vegas does have the new york new york hotel and casino. You can also visit paris, venice, mandalay and egypt, all more or less within walking distance of each other.

We first passed through town when I was 10 years old, but that doesn't really count. I remember seeing "one armed bandits" in gas stations and diners, but I wasn't allowed to pull the handle, and the employees made sure you didn't. Since that time, there have been a lot of changes in town, especially with the action moving away from downtown and toward the big themed hotel casinos on the southern end of the strip.

Finally, in june 2000, the chance came to do vegas properly. We liked it so much we stopped back in june 2002. We made a very brief stop here after our drive around southern california in december 2002. In march 2006 we hit the poker rooms and checked out the new wynn casino, and we were back for more in october 2006. Check out the write ups from those trips and the pictures too!
