O

I was fortunate enough to see not 1, but 2 different Cirque Du Soleil performances in Vegas this past week. O was a great show and the water acrobats and the synchronized swimmers were quite impressive. I liked the story line of the "twins" on a journey in "KA" and the influence of elements like wind, earth, and fire, were a nice addition to the story line.

The influence of gaming and money on this city is quite prominent. There are resort casinos all up and down the strip and new constuction is everywhere. Big casinos like MGM, Paris, and Bellagio draw in many tourists and the casinos are designed such that you'll never need to leave.

As long as you have the money to spend, Las Vegas has a dream to sell you. I found this place unique in its purpose and an experiment in capitalism unlike any I have experienced before. It was an interesting place to visit and why not take a seat at a blackjack table while you're here - it just might be your lucky day.
