Have a good, informative time!!! My daughter is there now, actually coming back tomorrow...she said it was kind of chilly and pretty windy. It was actually warmer here in Detroit a couple days ago than it was there! Just by a few degrees, but...

I head out Friday for a couple days. Can't wait! Wish it could be for longer...one day...

I did make it JFK, I landed at 1 PM on the dot at McCarran International this afternoon

I have already fallen in love with this city even though I have only been here just a few hours

Off the strip the suburbs (mosthe ones I saw so far) are very beautiful and the residents I have talked to have all been very friendly and have given me a lot of great info about Vegas

I am posting this from the Summerlin Library right now (took the bus there) and I watched the sunset at a ballpark across the street from the Vons Shopping Center at Hills Center and Trail Center drive

A very beautiful neighborhood with very friendly residents (I'm sorry LVD its not Snobberlin lol) gorgeous scenery, and gorgeous homes. I would LOVE to live here...one day (like kimba said)

I have to give you credit Davie. You have been busy today doing your own research. I admire your enthusiasm.

Am having a blast, after I got back to the hotel from the library I headed down to the strip on the Deuce bus. It was crowded and it seemed to take forever to get there

I watched the water show at the Bellagio which was amazing. I saw the Forum Shoppes at Caesar's Palace, watched the volcano erupt at the Mirage.

And to add all that. Before getting back to the room (which BTW is crummy, will stay at MGM Grand next time) I was asked for money by homeless people 16 times, hit on by prostitutes 18 times, and asked if I wanted drugs 26 times

Today I went to the MGM Grand for the breakfast buffet. It was definitely worth it and the food was delicious. (My lower intestine will be tattered though with all the meats that I ate ) Saw the lion habitat at the MGM Grand, and then onto the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood

I also have a job interview tomorrow for the Westgate Tower at Planet Hollywood, and had an interview today for a job in New York New York (which I need to get a health card for ) If things fall through with PH, I will get my health card and get that other job before flying back to Florida and begin getting my affairs in order there
