Las Vegas Notes

I passed the holiday week in Las Vegas (if you’re wondering why, see this article), where overheard conversations are very different from my adopted home town of McLean, VA. When I cruise the asiles in Safeway in McLean, I typiccally hear wives talking about getting the kids to soccer games, or the latest scoop on the newest day spa.

In a Las Vegas grocery store, you’re more like to hear something like this: Kid--"Mom, can I have some candy?" Mom--"I just need to get a bottle of vodka and gthen we’re goiing home."

Mananged to get in several shows of one of our favorite local Vegas bands, the Pete Contino Band. Go see them next time you’re in Vegas; they usually play Wednesday nights at the Orleans casino.

And then don’t miss our favorite all-girl band, Killians Angels. Yes, they’re named for the beer.
