Vegas, Baby

After some more consideration, I think my winter vacation will be in Las Vegas. I’m sure Mexico would be great, but I have some concerns about accessibility. And from everything I’ve seen and read, the city is a gimp paradise. Everything is accessible; I don’t even need to rent a car unless I want to get out of the city and see Hoover Dam or Red Rock Canyon. My other reason is more personal: while I’m still young and relatively healthy, I want to go places that are vibrant and appealing to the senses. I’m not ever going to go snorkeling or parasailing, but I can still experience places through sight, sound, touch, taste, and so on. Miami was perfect for that sort of thing, and I think Vegas would be as well. The sheer gaudiness of the place intrigues me. Exploring the Strip after dark sounds like great fun. And I’m not adverse to a little gambling, although I’ll probably stick with the simple stuff like blackjack and roulette. Now, where to stay? The Bellagio and the Luxor look like fun, but I’m still checking out the possibilities.
And next year, Europe, hopefully.
