Back in Vegas

After a long hiatus I'm back in Vegas and this time for business. As
expected the skyline has changed (yet again). Newer chique looking
hotels and condos are up. I notice billboards for newer shows. From
Elton John to Cher everyone seems to be performing here. But mixed
among the "classy" elements is the sleaze.

Vegas is the epitomy of human opulence intertwined with creativity.
Where single hotels mimic large cities (to the exact ratios). Where
humanity has created a make belief world that for a brief moment might
take away people's mind from the daily grind. Its surreal and at times
intoxicating. I can only take Vegas in small doses.
