The Silk Road At Vdara
The Silk Road restaurant at the Vdara, City Center is old Vegas glitz modernized for the 21st century, with an all silver private dining room.
I5 years ago I had a pink, yellow and purple apartment - people thought I was insane. Well, I was, still am, but now I have company.

Venom In Vegas
A guy from Animal Planet is spending 10 days in a glass booth on the Strip, with dozens of venomous snakes for company. He gets visited by camera crews. The snakes are fed cute little mice.
Why do I keep thinking Steve Irwin and Siegfried & Roy?

Viva Elvis At Aria Casino
Viva Elvis is due to open at the Aria. They have his gold lame suit on display - Elvis was never this skinny - and all kinds of crapola, I mean, memorabilia. My favorite are the dolls of Elvis & Priscilla's wedding.

Curious Things At The CES
Robots are fashionable - the little troll on top is supposed to teach you foreign languages in a most annoying way. Are you supposed to put your cell phone in that big hand and it vibrates, so you can wave to people? The fellow on the bottom - have no clue, but I don't want him in my living room.

White Cross Drugstore And Diner
White Cross is one of the few remaining old-fashioned drugstores and diners on Las Vegas Blvd, north of the Stratosphere. You get heaps of bacon with your eggs - open 24 hours.
