Hot, Hot, Hot...
how else can you describe Las Vegas??? We survived the
100+ degree weather, and managed to take in some of the
sights with our gracious hostess (and Owen classmate)
Suzanne Ivy.
Here we are with Suzanne in front
of the Luxor hotel. The sphinx is impressive, but our cab
driver informed us that you can read a book 14 miles in
space by the light generated by the spotlight on top of
the pyramid (he told us some off-color jokes as well).


The two photos above are of New
York, New York (the casino, not the real thing). A really
fun place, but we were a little bummed that the
rollercoaster wasn't working. The photo below is of the
volcano in front of the Mirage hotel. For the
uninitiated, a display of colored lights, shooting water
and natural gas explosions erupts every 15 minutes to the
delight of hundreds of passersby. Is this town classy or
what???
