Viva Las Vegas

Four Nights in Vegas and I'm down only around $500 - it could have been so much worse.

The StratosphereLuckily I only played the slots, most of which looked pretty boring but I soon as I saw one themed on 'The Twilight Zone', 'Star Wars' or Universal Monsters I succumbed to temptation. $20 bills are soon swallowed up when playing 15-20 lines at a time at 5 times the single credit bet.

Don't fancy yours much - Star Trek Experience Salt SuckerMore expense... After being assimilated by the Borg at the Star Trek Experience I went to see two shows: 1) the fab Hairspray at the Luxor and psycho magician The Amazing Jonathan at my hotel the Sahara.


Valley Of FireEven more expense..! I booked a day trip out to the spectacular Valley Of Fire in addition to a preplanned trip to Death Valley. As it turned out the DV trip was cancelled and I ended up going out to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon instead.


Grand CanyonDespite the drain on my bank account I can't wait to come back here again. Vegas is hot. I mean hot Hot Hot: It was 107 Deg F in the shade for all 4 days, luckily I love the dry desert heat and enjoyed the blast furnace that is Nevada. The best place in the world to test Atomic bombs.

Weirdcritter has left the building. I'm now chilling out in Frisco, news at eleven...
