I've also got a brand new mumble about my bad TV habits. A place I can hark back to all those old shows I watched in the 80's and 90's. Its a sad and lonely life sometimes

Ok, Lowdown from the Vegas Trip...

Got delayed at Chicago Airport - O'hare has to be the worst airport in the world. Nightmare.
Finally made it to the town of tack - Caesars is big *understatement*.
Grand Canyon trip got cancelled 4 days in a row - weather conditions were not good. Rain, cold - not what I expected.
Had to spend most of the time at te Blackjack tables. Shame.
Hired a car to Death Valley...Desolate but peaceful.
Finally made Grand Canyon on the Friday - plane, helicopter and bus - worth the wait - well the helicopter was.

What was Vegas Like?
Bar the weather, checked out most - if not all the casinos/hotels on the Strip...
Mirage, Bellagio, Caesars, Mandalay Bay were tops - followed by Venetian.
Liked the Monte Carlo also - probably because it was the only place I won at.

Kept missing out meals - lost track of time - the casino psychology of no windows and clocks obviously works.

Shows and stuff Lowdown:
EFX - with Rick Springfield. Poo
Blue Man Group - NY coolness in Vegas
Lance Burton - trad magician - sometimes naff, sometimes good.
David Coppefield - surprisingly fantastic - considering previous opinion
Justin Tranz - stoopid name - weak act - could be better
Evander Holyfield v John Ruiz - better than I though - but then I did back Ruiz to win. Met Don King also.
