Las Vegas & Hoover Dam
















Las Vegas...been there, done that, did not buy the T-shirt. In my opinion the best part of the Vegas strip was the buffet at the Mirage. Everything I had from the ribs, to the prime rib, to the shrimp, to the sushi, to the enchilada, to the gelato, to the chocolate/vanilla swirl was absolutely delicious!! Now...I just had a little of each...but it was really good. I am still trying to figure out why anyone, by their own choice, would choose to live in the desert...but then, I am constantly running into people who can't understand why I would want to live in Florida. I guess that's why they make chocolate and vanilla. We toured Hoover Dam this morning and found it absolutely fascinating. Just seeing how they constructed this massive structure was amazing. We also had lunch and a great visit with an old friend from radio days, Steve Meyer. Steve was the Promotion Manager for Capitol Records in Miami when I was at WFUN...and was one of the best. Today he is the Director of Business Promotions for the Primm Valley Casino Resorts on the Nevada/California border and is the former Director of Marketing for the Venetian Hotel on the strip. Great remembrances. We have enjoyed these two days even though the temperatures were around 108...and that's hot no matter what the humidity. Palm Springs tomorrow.
