Pictures from Las Vegas
From the only city I know of with a giant billboard in the best part of town that calls out "Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals," in case you didn't know it was possible at some critical juncture in a conversation you didn't want to have in the first place:
You can buy framed panties bearing Madonna's autograph for only $2995. No word on whether she was, er, actually possessed of them. In any case, you can imagine that the supply of these things is now limited -- what are the odds that Madonna is still autographing panties for the mass market?
The same store offered one of Eric Clapton's guitars, also for about three grand, but with the further notation that "0% down financing is available."
At the MGM Grand, you can walk around underneath a lioness who licks her chops when she looks at you...
We took a helicopter tour, which was the cat's meow. Everything looks different from the air. The Strip...
The Hoover Dam...
...and the Grand Canyon.
The fun's done -- the Wife flies home early Tuesday, and I will turn to the business purpose that brought me out here. Regular blogging will resume sometime in the vicinity of Wednesday night.
