back from vegas

[intertribal]

Me and the headless, armless Goddess of Victory in front of Caesars Palace (I named a character after her in high school, before I realized a shoe company beat me to it).  Uploaded more photos here. 

It was 105 degrees and amusing, for the most part.  I did think the Moving Statues at Caesars were ridiculously kitschy, but the volcano at my hotel (the Mirage) was surprisingly awesome, as were the Bellagio fountains (maybe that's not so much a surprise).  The Venetian was really, really fragrant, the Luxor was lolzy, the Excalibur had a lot of fast food joints (I see why Jennifer wanted to die when she was assigned the Excalibur as inspiration on Top Chef last season), and the MGM Grand was confusingly large.  We were sharing the Mirage with the West Coast Dance Explosion's national finals, so the casino floor was half old people on slot machines and half pre-pubescent girls in really heavy makeup and glamour bikinis. 

The food was good.

Nice to *see* you! You look gorgeous!

I don't think you could get me into Vegas unless it was to rescue a kidnapping victim or something, but it's fun to read your description. I love the image of the old people on slot machines combined with the pre-pubescent girls in glamour bikinis. That totally, totally says Vegas to me, somehow.

Off topic, have you ever seen the movie Opera Jawa? sovay has a review of it (here), and it sounded cool to me--and also like something that possibly you would have seen.
