MADISON, WI -- This summer, first trip: Las Vegas! I got my plane ticket and hotel yesterday. I'll be there Friday May 16th-Monday May 19th, and am staying at the Las Vegas Hilton, which is only a block off the Strip and right on the monorail line. Besides plenty of time in the casino, I'm looking forward to checking out the observatories - one of them is an exact 1/2 scale replica of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Resort. It'll be interesting to compare it to the actual thing, which I remember quite well (I was there in Paris in October 2004). The other observatory is at the Stratosphere, the tallest building west of Chicago, where I've obviously spent plenty of time. Hopefully we'll also get tickets to a couple of shows; apparently LOVE, the Beatles-themed show, is great and I'd love to check it out. The sportsbook at the Hilton casino is the largest in Vegas, and with playoff hockey on the line, and plenty of baseball, I'm sure I'll make a bet or two just for kicks.
Well, I'm very excited to have my first summer trip booked and set. Vegas will be a great place to celebrate 21 (which, by the way, one week from today) as well as finishing spring semester classes (May 14th). If anybody has any suggestions on things to do or see, please leave a comment so I can check it out. Thank you! Next post should be from Chicago, unless another trip is booked in the next few days.
