Welcome to a world of excess...

by lauriejeanne - last update: Sep 11, 2002

<font color="CC9933" face=verdana><b>Welcome to a world of excess and luxury bar none. The opulence of Vegas is so bold you either love it or you leave it.

As for me, I chose both options. On my visit to Vegas I was recovering from an inflammation of the nerves that had left me weak and fighting bad headaches. The lights of the strip, Fremont Street and, of course, the slot machines gave me killer headaches at times. My solution? Leave the city! We found refuge in the striking beauty of Red Rock Canyon, the unexpected blue popping out of nowhere in Lake Mead and the brilliant structure, Hoover Dam. Please see my Nevada page for more on these wonderful sights!

While in Vegas I had 3 wishes... Cirque du Soleil. Try a slot machine for the first time in my life. An unforgettable birthday dinner. Well my wishes and even much much more came true! Here are some of the highlights...</font>

Seeing him again on the flight out!!!!!!

 Hello fellow Canuck, I agree with you about Krispy Cremes, question the prime rib (mine was dry) and love the picture of you in front of my favourite machine. Calgary is great, my kids live there. Pa (mapakettle)

 If & when I go back to Vegas (it's only been 20 years or so), All the Cirque shows will be on the to-do list. Come July, there will be 3 ("O", Mystere, & Zumanity.
