I thought EVERYONE wanted to have a home in Vegas. Thanks for the architectural lesson. It's something that fascinates me but about which I know so little. We don't gamble so Vegas isn't an attraction for us -- in fact, the last time we were there, the overhead light tunnel/show was due to open and we toured the back country instead, checking out the Red Rock Canyon.

WE are not gamblers, so not drawn to Vegas. A company sent us there once for a convention, and we enjoyed wandering the strip and even enjoyed a show with Celine Dion.

Not only could you hear everything in the next room, you could smell their cigarette smoke through the walls.)

I hate gambling, so do not get involved with that and while the food is cheap and good, it is only the high end restaurants (overpriced) and the shows that call to me. I actually find Vegas a very depressing place. And if you drive out through the suburbs you wonder how many illegal and legal small time criminals live in those ghostly neighborhoods. Give me the open desert anyday.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053208644196545549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-66535159553805398612016-08-28T17:00:40.596-07:002016-08-28T17:00:40.596-07:00A place unlike any other.A place unlike any other.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-66244638638623724642016-08-28T16:51:13.177-07:002016-08-28T16:51:13.177-07:00I enjoyed this post very much!
