Viva la otra Las Vegas
Long ago, I was driving on I-40 in New Mexico when I spotted an exit sign for Las Vegas. I naturally assumed it meant there was an alternate route to the Las Vegas. It was years later when I discovered there was a different Las Vegas. Oh.

After "visiting" Las Vegas via Google Street View (and finding other film locations there) I added the city to my list of possible places to relocate. I even found a house I imagined owning, just a block from the hotel.
In the historic district, an easy walk to shopping and the college area, no yard to take care of... We know how that turned out.

I saw a list online yesterday that listed New Mexico in the top 10 worst places for retirees....high taxes, etc.
ReplyDeleteTry to find out what "Las Vegas" means.
ReplyDeleteVega means bottom, or as applied to geography, bottom land or valley. So Las Vegas means the bottom lands. Or, I guess, where one hits rock bottom.
