Las Vegas Five: What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

Don’t you believe it for a New York minute (1). What stays in Vegas is money. What follows you around are memories. A few readers have wondered out loud when the next chapter of “Las Vegas” was coming. Here is the last chapter, with no revelations (to speak of). We had a great time, saw wonderful sights (see LV one and two), ate at a really funky Italian place (not L.V. plastic), got high (see LV three) and just enjoyed the scene. On the last trip to Vegas I heard a young wife say to her husband whilst walking through the faux Eiffel Tower “Now we don’t have to go to Paris”. Or Egypt or New York or anywhere else. She sounded serious, but I hope not.
We on the other hand are off to Portugal in 2 weeks and will eat, drink and be very, very merry. We will see the mountains, the rivers, the castles, the churches, the ---- everything there is to see. We will leave money behind and bring memories home. Not so different from Las Vegas really. We could have gone to Disney World instead, and left some money behind and brought some memories home, but why not go for the real thing? Along the lines of “Drink the Wine Now”, I suggest going to the places you have on your list as soon as possible. Why wait for the dollar to crash?
