Visited Las Vegas with Marty for the very first time over the past weekend - had two full days of hiking up and down the "Strip," ducking into some of the major hotels just to see how they executed their themes: Luxor, the Bellagio, Caesar's Palace, and others. I was awestruck by the Venetian, which has an incredible outdoors-but-indoors feeling! But now that I've been, I have no urgent wish to return. It's so focused on gambling and is very smoky everywhere. Hucksters accost passers-by from every doorway - but if you're not willing to spend money, you're toast.
While in Vegas, I also visited my cousin, whom I haven't seen in over 30 years, and her son and grandson (what a cutie!) She took me to visit the Rainbow Library, a branch in the Las Vegas/Clark County Library District. Marty doesn't think visiting libraries is very interesting - I, on the other hand, find them immensely so, and brought back lots of good ideas to share at work.
I flew back to Sackatomatoes Tuesday morning to go back to work, but Marty stayed on till Thursday to attend a conference on state lotteries.
