Lol,bc,you break my heart! you won't be back???? Waaaaa.what will Las Vegas do without you???????<BR>

Oh yes, gourmet dining, luxery hotels, hot night clubs, headline entertainment PLUS everything from horesback riding to skydiving, rollercosters to race car driving Yes how boring! <BR><BR>Vegas is one of a kind and All American!<BR>

Note to Spot: I've traveled all over the world, Asia, Europe, Australia, etc., and I still think the fountains are gorgeous, just a small fraction of the "beauty that's all around us," as you so say!

The whole place is an embarrassment to decent people. Most overrated? Well, the trailer-park people who frequent the casinos would be at the top of my list. Pathetic. Or perhaps the geriatrics wasting our tax dollars on slot machines. Vegas is a sad sad place. Pitiful. <BR><BR>

I hate gambling, I don't enjoy the "nudie" shows, I'm not a lover of magic, I've never seen a Vegas production that I've truly loved (call me a snob), the disney-esque ships, volcanos, fountains, etc. are yes, "over-the-top", the buffet food gets tiring VERY fast, but I LOVE Vegas. I enjoy the energy, the restaurants and bars, walking the strip, the people-watching---everyone's having a great time, and I love the "never have a chill getting out of the pool" heat of the summer. I love travel, both domestic and foreign, but I also have to get my "Vegas fix" every 4 yrs or so. It's just a weird, fun, different, funky place!

I,too, have travelled extensively. Also, we arrived in L.V.after 2 weeks in Sedona, Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce and Zion...speaking of culture shock(lol)!<BR><BR>Our room at the Paris overlooked the Bellagio fountains, and from our room we could hear Andrea Bocelli singing "Time to Say Goodbye"..my favourite song. Need I say more? We videotaped the whole thing from our window.<BR><BR>Once here, I may as well add that we saw 4 shows, the best being "O" and Danny Gans. (See him, if you haven't).<BR> We liked breakfast at the boulangerie in the Paris.
