vegas, baby.

Off to Las Vegas this weekend for a Johnson Family party. We'll be staying at Paris Las Vegas with my folks, my bro, and his fiancee. I'll be spending a fair amount of time at the roulette table (where my money will hopefully last more than a few minutes) and at the sports bar (where I can bet on college basketball teams of which I have little expertise).

The city is like Disneyland for adults. And it has changed dramatically since I first visited in the late 80s. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Cirque du Soleil show, Ka. I also can't wait to drink gourmet vodka at the Red Square Bar down at the Mandalay Bay.

No doubt we shall return with a slightly dented bank account. But this trip should provide a plethora of new memories for the Johnson Family.

Wish me luck. I'll need it.
