Having found what I came for at NAB yesterday, I decided to take today off, and see and do other Las Vegas things. I walked a significant part of the strip, from the Excalibur to the Fashion Show Mall, and that photo series will be available through the read more link.
I originally planned to photo everything before 12:00, when there was a free craps lesson, but my camera ran out of battery power halfway through, so I took the Deuce back to the hotel to charge it up, and take the craps lesson.
The Deuce, is the name of the busroute going up and down the Las Vegas strip, 24/7. One trip costs 2 dollars, a 24 hour pass costs 5 dollars, having bought one yesterday, and also using it a couple of times today, it was certainly worth the money, and also a good example of how public transport should be. Cheap and easily available.
Craps is an interesting game, and almost everyone have seen people play it in any move involving casinos. I must say, it looks like a complication game, buts its not. It is really easy and fun. Its now my number one gambling game, displacing roulette which I learned on a cruise a few years back.
In the afternoon of day four, I must say I have loved staying in Las Vegas. Its not a city, its an experience, and I have seen soo little of it, and I am definitely going back.
Some have called it the Disneyworld of adults, and I agree, even though they have added many things for the kids the past 20 years, its still a haven for adults. So many different shows, so many casinos, so many sights to see.
They have a saying in London: “When you are tired of London, you are tired of life.”, I think that would be better phrased as “When you are tired of Las Vegas, you are tired of life.”
