learning from vegas

d. just got back from a weekend in las vegas. his trip brings back memories of my first visit to
las vegas. i was about 19 and it was my first trip to the west. i remember the 1.99 all you can eat
buffets and the over the top casinos that were open 24/7 and i remember the dry heat. it was
summer and it felt like an oven.after about 24hours i had had enough.
much later after reading "fear and loathing in las vegas" and "learning from las vegas"the place took on a new interest---but even since i have had the same feeling after about 24 hours.
--but i haven't visited again in many years. not since the bellagio and certainly not since wynne's hotels have been built. maybe it's time.
