Ooooh. I am so jealous! I was there last year. I stayed at The Mirage. I saw the Pirates nightly free show outside Treasure Island hotel, and also a Cirque De Soleil show. I like Las Vegas for the simple reason that it makes me feel I am almost on another planet. You know, even just when you are stepping off the plane at the airport, that you are definitely "not in Kansas anymore." My cousin lives there. She is a judge in the district court, and her hubby is an F.B.I. agent. They have an 8 year old son. I am not sure I'd want to raise a family there, but it does have some nice residential areas. Apparently, everyone has a pool in their backyard, practically, too. So, I hope you are having fun!! I know I would be, if I were there. I would probably just skip sleeping altogether. I am not much of a gambler, but did manage to win $500 at a slot in The Mirage one morning, via some fluke of luck, on a quarter slot machine. I know how to play BlackJack, but rarely do it. I hear there are some awesome nightclubs there now. I didn't get a chance to see any, last time I was there. You probably already have heard or read about these things, but, my opinion is: The art museum at The Venetian is worth a look, if you're in the mood for that sort of thing (I think so anyway). Taking a gondola ride at The Venetian is worth it (the gondolier will even sing to you). So is the art museum at Bellagio. The Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum is kinda fun (and a bit spooky, if you are the only one in it, like I was when I was there, one afternoon). Have Fun, fun, fun! Wish I was there (reallly). So yes - tell us some Sins! - Susan
