Since we came back I have thought a lot about Vegas – and what it is that has us all in its grip.
I know it’s not just the gambling…...as you have read, my friend Sandy isn’t really a gambler yet he loves it too, and for me it’s the most wonderful irony that he turned out to be the biggest winner in our group.
Lady Luck sure has a great sense of humour!
I had lunch with a friend who has been to Vegas 15 times and who also doesn’t really gamble. The first time he went on a whim (like me!) and got bitten by the bug.
He just knows it’s like no other place on earth - but try explaining it to people who’ve never been!........ Or to those who think they would never go.
Vegas is a city with many faces…for some it offers dreams, for others, an escape, for many, a chance to let their hair down.
Succumb to its siren call and there’s a very good chance it will lure you back.
As I said last year, you can be whoever you want to be in Vegas.
E says he becomes more extrovert.
I think I become much more ‘me’ – which means I feel comfortable there.
And its Pleasure Palaces are open to all – no matter who you are or where you’ve come from, or how much is in your wallet. It strikes me as the ultimate democracy. You don’t have to spend much to have a ringside seat at one of the greatest shows on earth.
Perhaps, the answer is Vegas is a state of mind.
But don’t think too hard – just dive in, go with the flow and enjoy it … and if it steals your heart – never apologise, never explain.
If you are about to go, have a wonderful time.
Come back happy – come back rich if Lady Luck is smiling your way, - but make sure you come back and share it with us...
