What I learned about Las Vegas


I had a meeting in Las Vegas this week. I flew in and out of the city in 12 hours. As we flew in over Nevada, I took the above picture.

During my brief stay, I learned the following:

  • Not so many trees in Nevada, but a beautiful western landscape
  • The adults arriving in Vegas are as giddy as children going to Disney
  • These adults can't stop giggling as they ride the rental car bus
  • There is a replica of the Eiffel Tower down the road from a medieval castle which is down the road from a replica of the Manhattan skyline
  • There are lots of buffets in Vegas
  • People consume massive amounts of food in these buffets
  • There are slot machines in all public places, and finally
  • The adults leaving Las Vegas on the rental car bus are glassy eyed and quiet
