I was in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago.   I was told the way to make a
"small fortune" is to start out with a big fortune.

around the strip. Took a couple of wonderful side trips though. Red Rock
Canyon is phenomenal and offers a lot unique photo opportunities. Also, the
Hoover Dam and the turbines within are truly awesome. Helps if you have a
21.
