Turning technology from mumbo-jumbo into rich tasty gumbo
< Advice for New Parents | Main | Sneak Peak at Glenn's New Blog >I'm in L.V. for the Consumer Electronics Show right now, and I have to say that on my first visit here, I'm amazed that what I had heard and seen before about the city seemed before I arrived here to be exaggerated. Now I understand that images I have seen on TV and in magazines, and stories I've read are substantially understated. What a place. And I'm just walking along the Strip, not exploring downtown or seedier places. Woof.
We are staying at Circus Circus in their satellite rooms where I am paying the most I ever have for the worst room. That is, the room is fine, but it's Motel 6 outside Goshen, Oregon, standards, Actually, a Goshen Motel 6 is probably cleaner and less worn.
They are building new stuff by the acre here--the entire city is covered in cranes--but there's so much money pouring in, there is little motivation to renovate. Worst case, they put in a new carpet. Best case, they tear down the rooms we're in and build better rooms.

Really just came to peek at your new pictures of Ben-which a really beautiful!
Circus Circus is by far the worst hotel on the strip..if you need to go again try the MGM , Luxor or Mandalay Bay.
I wish I had known you were going- I've been more times than 1 person really should. ( I had a boss who loved to have company meetings in Vegas). I could have told you the good places to go..and the places to avoid....like Circus Circus!
