While in LV a couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to visit the absolutely spectacular Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (http://www.desertusa.com/redrock/). It's about 20 miles NW of LV. If you're looking for a diversion, this is a great one! And keep an eye open for the wild donkeys that live in the valley. The LV shows are also amazing. While they can be somewhat pricey, be aware that there are a couple of stores (e.g., Tix4Tonight) that sell half-price tickets for the current day for many of the shows.

A common occurence is to walk out of a casino thinking that it's around 11pm, only to find that it's more like 4am. It even happens to me, and I usually have a pretty good internal clock. :-) - L [EMAIL PROTECTED] šŠV«r¯yÊ&ý§-Š÷Š¾4™¨¥iËb½çb®Šà
