The contrast is mind-bending.

The weather is wonderful, even the heat. I have a small pool so look forward to the high temps so I can take my Kindle (in a zip-lock baggie) out there and float around on my lounger. Besides Red Rock there are several beautiful areas like it plus the Mt. Charleston ski resort is up just a little higher. I live in Sun City Anthem, an award-winning 55-plus community and our amenities are incredible. The sewing room probably has at least 15 top of the line machines, including a long arm. I'm currently doing fused glass and we have 3 kilns with a 4th on the way. Many of the residents are former entertainers and we have our own theater for local and traveling productions. Woodworking area and full athletic club with all of the latest and best equipment, yoga classes, golf courses, restaurants and bars, etc. If we want to see fabulous entertainment or art we can run down to the Strip or to any of the many "local" casinos where so many of the bands from "our" generation still perform. I have to admit I didn't really think of Las Vegas as anything more than the Strip before I moved here. Now, every day I'll hear someone saying how lucky we are to be here.

(He would have driven straight through if I let him!) We saw Sigfried and Roy before the 'accident' and stayed over just one night. I LOVED it, but one night was enough, glad to be back on the road and have UT in our sights after that!

I hate everything about it except the Dale Chiuily ceiling and the art gallery at the Bellagio and, if money is no object, the restaurants are fantastic. Couldn't agree with you more. But if all you did was fly to Vegas, rent a car and spend all your time at Red Rock canyon, it would be a spectacular trip. The beauty is unforgettable.

That is so beautiful. <br /><br />I find that I become increasingly uncomfortable with the fakery and kitch in vegas. I'm only good for a few days. Last time I was there I spent a great deal of time finding gambling alternatives. I found a Boucher exhibit, a wonderful exhibit on Calder's mobiles, and of course looked at the Chihuly glass. It was great fun. I felt like I'd stolen something by going the whole trip without gambling. And I even came out ahead! I found a quarter on the casino floor as we walked through on the way to dinner. <br /><br />A hotel in Texas where I stayed at a conference was much like yours. A glass covered fake interior park with a 'river', and fake birds. I finally went outside - into a muggy furnace and felt sortof guilty for coming back into the massive AC fake-space after only a short run in the 'real world'.
