Well, fate has an interesting way of throwing me a curve ball. Just when I think it'll be next January when I'll be in Las Vegas (for the Miss America pageant, IF they have it again in Vegas), I get a flyer in the mail from the Venetian. Guess they want that grand I took out of the casino the last time, as they gave me two free nights to take between June and early September. Since I want to have some time to replenish the bank, my traveling companion and I are already penciled in for Sept. 2nd to the 6th.

So expect a few questions on where to go (as in stores where a chipper might wander into). We're already fairly familiar with the Strip area and Fremont St, but might be curious in some of the more local areas.
