The trip was alright. Spent Saturday power walking through bunch of the hotels/casinos. Did pretty much nothing. Chris claimed it to be sight seeing but I didn't see much of anything other than faux this and faux that. I guess some people are impressed by kinda thing. Some of it was kinda neat but I'd rather see the real Pyramids, New York City, and Paris.

Sunday was better. After Getting vouchers to Penn & Teller we split up for breakfast. Then we hit the Rio to get our vouchers turned to tickets and then proceeded to find a place with go-karts, and exchange the rental car (the new one was paid for by Chris' work, as he was then on companyish dime/time) such before heading back to the Rio for dinner and Penn & Teller.

Pretty much as soon as you get off the strip you realize that most of the place is a wasteland. I find my self wondering the whys and hows that brought Las Vegas into existence. As near as I can tell there is nothing there aside from some Casino's and an Airport and lots of sprawling stucco homes. What brought people there originally? I'm pretty sure it wasn't the vast natural resources and the easy sustainability of a desert town.
