Thoughts on Las Vegas
Comments (1) 
Well, our time in Las Vegas has come to a close. In an hour we’ll be off to our next destination, like a band on tour heading off the the next stage in another town or a surfer catching the next wave on another beach. The airport shuttle is a curious entity. It’s like a special transport that delivers it’s participants back to the current day and modern time from a world of make believe and leisure, where schedules are meaningless and meetings don’t exist. But unfortunately, every dream has its consequences, and eventually, the shuttle will pick you back up and drive you back to the airport . . . and back to reality.
Las Vegas is a world of its own. I guess it always has been. Who would’ve thought that this simple construction camp of a few hundred workers of the future Union Pacific railway line would blossom into a such a global city. Las Vegas. “The Meadows” in Spanish. Named for the green valley and its life bringing spring waters, it’s an oasis in an otherwise quite inhospitable and barren landscape. From a dusty whistle stop, this city has grown, changed, adapted, developed and thrived into an entity that is synonymous with Coca-Cola, New York City, Microsoft, Budweiser and Marlboro. No matter where you go or who you talk to, whether they’ve been there or not – they know what Las Vegas is all about. Just say the words and people smile. Las Vegas.
It’s official! We’ve begun our trip!!
Our first stop in our round the world extravaganza is going to be the famous, the mystical, the magical, and ultimate playground of adult fun and debauchery.
