Went to a great place with music and food last night, lot of atmosphere [plenty of people looked like they were having a day off from being in Twin Peeks] stratosphatically bad service, Good to meet Steph for the first time, and great to talk...a lot.
To my surprise there are things I like about Vegas.
1 Architecture. It is easy [very easy] to be sniffy about imitation Eifell Towers and Statues of Liberty: but I like it. What is wrong with copying great buildings with other buildings? It is what architects have always done.
2 For everyone. As long as you have money to loose, all are welcome. There is a strange egalitarianism of the "about to be fleeced" and the staff in the hotels and shops seem as pleased to be in Vegas as everyone else. Feels good.
3 Access. Everyone can go everywhere - just about. You can wonder in and out of every Casino and shopping area you feel like without any "members only" stuff. I do not think it is like that in Monte Carlo of Mayfair.
4 The Vibe. It is a friendly, safe feeling place. Everyone is here to have a good time [even me] and it shows. People talk in the lift and smile a lot. It feels good.
