Where I was last week

[Undertoad]

The Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas.



That's the view from the room. I had a laptop and the hotel offered high speed net access, but for some reason I wasn't all oriented around posting. Also, this is my excuse for why the IotD may or may not have sucked last week. I had my queue of cool stuff all ready to go to cover the week, but forgot to upload it before I left.

Highlights: the shows. Cirque du Soleil's "O", the Blue Man Group, and George Carlin. The exhibits: Venetian's art gallery, Bellagio's visiting collection of Faberge.

Lowlights: feeling roughly sick all week.

The rest: alternately winning and losing and basically not doing too badly at table games. Learning that my income has not kept up with Vegas' increase in minimum size bets, despite the fact that the town has doubled in size in five years. Walking mile after mile on the strip.

The luckiest: somehow having nobody take the third seat on our return trip despite the flight being descibed as overbooked.
