The City Without Clocks
There is definitely one thing that is hard to get in Las Vegas-- and that is sleep. ! I wish I had taken my 35 MM camera to get more night shots, but the digital is extremely light, and we did a lot of walking. I was amazed by the New York/ New York casino--- like a little bit of home to me as I grew up on the East Coast. Penn Station, Statue of Liberty, brownstones, re-created to scale! Even the Brooklyn Bridge! Dad and I had a great time. We saw comedians and laughed for 2 hours!. There was a parrot show with a singing parrot (if Dr. Who learned to do that , it would be time to leave town!), acrobats and gymnasts performing on an elevated stage very close to the roulette tables. Bells, lights, music, constant buzz of conversation, stacco bursts of laughter and clapping. A definite sensory overload! The clothing people wore reminded me at times of Halloween and/or cosplay. But I had a really good time. Dad has a great sense of humour, and we went everywhere. There is a lot to do that does not have to involve gaming--- but yes, Mamma did go gaming with Dad. The Peanut Gallery is restless--- I played craps (dice)(*blush*), and I won $40- I guess statistics does come in for something. The casino interiors are huge-- and no windows. There are no clues as to time of day, everything is open 24/7. Like California, the night winds in the desert are very cool.When you can see a sunset, and then the riot of colours in neon, that dance, and blink, you don't want to sleep because you don't want to miss anything. But Las Vegas is also a city of paradox but there's another time to write about that. Well, it's time to turn in for Mamma== another work day tomorrow.

I send the Mardi=Gras-like excitement, with cheers and impromptu dances, and little surprizes around each corner from Las Vegas to my friends. Tonite the moon is full, with a silver ring-- and the moon appears to have a smile. Good night to all.
