We visited Las Vegas twice, as part of two separate touring holidays.
It’s a very strange place, especially if you don’t gamble (I don’t). But a city right in the middle of the desert is well worth seeing. And some of the shops in the big hotels are superb. And the lights!
When we were there, someone won a lot of money, and security guys in suits suddenly appeared from every direction. It turned out to be genuine, thankfully.
Oh, and apparently it used to be the safest city in the US, simply because everyone is watched everywhere they go.
Well worth a visit, though for a week at the most.

A girl from Beijing called me on Skype today, and we chatted for more half an hour. It was superb.
We exchanged email addresses and mobile telephone numbers (we can call free with Skype paid accounts!), and we’ll keep in touch.

Meetup is definitely the place to go to do this easily. I’ve met some lovely friends to go eating with, drinking with, and whatever else I’m interested in doing. Go check it out now if you haven’t already, and find out what events are happening in your own area:
