My uncle Steve is in Las Vegas for Comdex, so we met up for dinner. He lives in Chicago so we don’t get to see him too often. Tonight was a real treat.
We enjoyed some pretty decent sushi at the San Remo hotel. Afterwards, we headed downtown to see the light show at the pedestrian mall. It was totally cheezy, but highly entertaining and free. The thrill was over 5 minutes after it started. I guess that’s classic Las Vegas.
Tomorrow night I’m hoping to catch a real show (like Blue Man Group or “O” or Sigfried and Roy).
Las Vegas is all about flashy pomp and overload. It’s hard to imagine what it must be like for a Vegas native to visit the rest of the country.
It must feel like one of those Twilight Zone episodes where everyone about is frozen in time while you move freely… not dull… just creepy for its lack of motion.
