Viva Las Vegas Bling!

6/24/2010

4 Comments

 
I am not sure I'm cut out to be a Las Vegas girl. I'm too cheap to gamble and too big of a blabbermouth to let what happens in Vegas stay in Vegas. Which, of course, is why I'm blogging about my recent first-ever trip there. We went with friends who used to live in Vegas so we got to see more than the strip (which, I have concluded is Disneyland for grown-ups who want to be naughty). We checked out Red Rock, poked around various neighborhoods and even drooled our way through some gorgeous high rise condos. And we saw David Copperfield, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Great fun. I tracked down an audience volunteer after the show in the hopes that I could worm the secret of one of his great illusions out of her but he had cast a spell over the girl and her lips were sealed. No amount of bribery would work. So I had to find some other way to spend my money. This was not hard once I discovered Vegas pawn shops. Let me tell you, forget wandering around the Bellagio or Mandalay Bay. Get to the good stuff and hit the pawn shops. Instead of losing money you'll be finding bargains! I upgraded my diamond for a song. Now, if I could just upgrade the aging hand it's sitting on. Next vacation.

I just read "Small Change" and loved it! I stayed up 'til midnight reading to finish it!

Now I'm trying to find all your previous books.

I too think of Las Vegas as Disneyland for grown-ups who want to be naughty--I first visited at age 40 and have been back every year since! Love the energy there.

Hey JR, thanks for taking time to let me know how much you enjoyed "Small Change" - Hope you'll spread the word :)
I would go back to Vegas again for more pawn shop prowling. They are building some nice condos down there. Vegas real estate is a bargain right now, so if you're a regular that might be a good investment.

Hi,
I just finished "Small Change" after reading two other Heart Lake books. I really enjoyed all three books. I'm glad I've found your blog too, it looks like a good read too.
