« Vegas or Bust? | Main | RIP George Carlin »

Over the top beyond beyond...

I am heading back to Austin but I have a few notes about my first trip to Vegas. First off...this suite...30th floor at the Bellagio with marble everywhere...2 bedrooms and FIVE bathrooms. I kid you not....F.I.V.E. There are also seven flat screen televisions in here and a velvet sofa in the living room. Tagging along on JM's business trips are clearly something I heartily endorse.

We did manage to leave the room to go see Elton John's show at Ceasar's Palace. Amazing show. It was his 200th and they gave us all feather boas when we entered the theatre. We were on the fifth row and after the first two songs we ran out of adjectives to describe it.

Oh, I did stop in the casino for a minute...I lost $140 in about 2 minutes. So, that's that.

What else...don't believe the story about it's a dry heat. It is and I've used a bucketload of moisturizer since I've been here and you don't get drenched in sweat...but it's f'ing hot.

There's an amazing amount of blind drunk people walking like zombies in this town. Gobs of middle America with their eyes glazed over. It is also overstimulating here. I had a mild seizure before lunch. And...since I've been here I've had no idea what time it is. Every clock I've seen tells different time and during the day it's just as blazing bright at 7 am as it is at 7 pm.
