A Baptist in Sin City

Las Vegas was...way beyond my expectations. One of my friends told me Vegas was like Gatlinburg only with more white trash. In some ways, that's true. But I found much of Vegas to be...dare I say it? Kinda classy. Granted, I am like one of the Beverly Hillbillies when I travel. It doesn't take much to impress me. (Look Kevin! A cement pond!) But this place puts the X in excess.

Neither Kevin nor I are big gamblers but we did come home about 70 bucks richer thanks to a lucky streak on a dollar slot machine. I did enjoy walking through the casinos though. If you are a people-watcher, casinos are the place to be.

The highlight of the trip, for me, was a side trip we took to the Grand Canyon. (More blog about that later.) But we also got to see Mystere. I know Cirque Du Soleil shows are stupid expensive but trust me on this. If you ever get the opportunity to see a show, do it. It's just an amazing experience. Completely unforgettable.
