Las Vegas Impressions

This place only exists because it successfully appeals to our baser instincts but it certainly knows how to bait the hook... The MGM for example is not cultured but it has style, these are the photographs that greet you on my (and every) floor

Richard Harris, Richard Burton and Sammy Davis Jr

Frank and Groucho

There is bad food to be found, Hot Dogs, Pizza, Burgers, but it is not easy... There are 3 oriental restaurants, a New York style Deli, an authentic Italian, an authentic Mexican and numerous Chef-branded places. For example, tonight I shall be eating in a Michael Mina restaurant I first discovered with the missus called Seablue

I shall be having the Summer Menu

with all the suggested wines... Cost £47.50. If it is as good as the meal we ate here a year ago it will be memorable.

Viva

Here for 4 days poker playing... Staying in the MGM Grand "The Big Green One" as it is known locally, because I know the geography of the place... Useful as it has 5,000 rooms.


Also because of the lion


By the way I took none of these photographs... It is July, this is the desert and the temperature is about 108.
