Casino
Okay, okay, so we did go to a casino while we were in Las Vegas. The Bellagio. We took the monorail there, or as close as we could get. But we didn't gamble or see a show. As I've mentioned before, that's

Monorail
Did you know that there's a train in downtown Las Vegas? It's not what you might think. It's a monorail. The Las Vegas Monorail is owned and maintained by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

Perhaps the most popular tourist attraction in the vicinity of Las Vegas is the Hoover Dam1. While we didn't tour the dam itself this trip, Kim and I discovered a fascinating way to get there – the Historic

Las Vegas is not a city that lives in the past1, especially architecturally. When someone has a big idea with big financing and something less than shiny and new occupies a golden location, they have no

Springs Preserve
Every city has to start somewhere. Las Vegas started at the Springs Preserve. Wikipedia tells us, The Las Vegas Springs or Big Springs is the site of a natural oasis, known traditionally as a cienega.

What do you think of when you think of Las Vegas? Extravagant shows and casinos? Late, late night life? The sports book? Golfing and conventions? Yeah, I think of all that too. But we don't go in much
