vegas (last time around)

las vegas strip, february '09

At this moment, I'm in the airport waiting for the next plane to Vegas. Here are a few photos from the last visit.

Apropos of nothing, look at the list of tallest buildings in Las Vegas, and compare it to the tallest buildings in Portland. Our tallest would be #12 on the list in Vegas, just ahead of the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas. No, seriously, I mean it. And just 3 of ours would make the top 35 in Vegas.

On top of that, the buildings we do have tend to be boring and beige and almost entirely lacking in neon or glitz of any kind. In Vegas they would've all been imploded years ago. Just sayin'.
