I Heart Vegas

One of the great things about Las Vegas is that you can do whatever you want, just about any time you want. Today, for lunch, I breezed over to Green Valley Ranch, a local casino. It was the casino featured in the show "American Casino" not too long ago. I had a great lunch. Something called a Bambino, which was a wee mini meatball sub, plus chips and a drink for $4. Quite satisfying. I played a few hands of $5 blackjack with a bunch of drunk guys, and won $30.

When I got back to the office I realized, yet again, how much I love Las Vegas. I don't think an outsider would guess that. I dislike noise. Cigarette smoke. Crowds. And I'm pretty tight with a buck. But I don't mind much of anything when I'm having a good time, and here, a good time is pretty much always a five minute drive away. Sometimes closer.

As the kids say, "Whee!" (You know. Kids from the 1940s.)
