Vegas 2

Day 2 in Vegas was great. Sunshine and 70 during the day, cooler in the evening but still lovely. Laura and I had a fun day yesterday shopping, eating, losing small amounts in the slot machines and walking ever so long distances between each venue, the streets packed with tourists and sidewalk vendors hoping to make a quick sale. Everything here is about spending (and maybe winning) money and the fake facades, baubles and tacky souvenirs are well, just Vegas. It's all good fun.

Sunday's highlight was Le Reve (the Dream) at the Wynn Resort last evening. The tickets weren't cheap but the show was unlike anything we've ever seen with seating is in the round and a pool as the focal point. Acrobatics, gymnastics, and dramatic special effects left us spellbound for 90 minutes. The creator, Franco Dravone and resort owner Steve Wynn, named the show after the Picasso painting (shown here)entitled Le Reve, a piece that Mr Wynn actually owns (lucky him).

Vegas is a marvel; we feel far away and living an unencumbered existence. Our own version of Le Reve, a dream and a very, very good one.
