Long weekend in the City of Sin. Or really the city of extreme levels of consumerism and carefully constructed reality-ish places. We were there for the entertainment (Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet” tour and Cirque de Soleil’s “O”). So, really, what happened in Vegas, could leave Vegas and be shared with a group of nuns and Amish.

Here’s the photo album of some of the things we saw and did.

Nothing great, but I think I captured some of the glamor and all that it shiny. I kind of love/hate the mashups that are New York-New York and Paris. Architectural distillation of big cities down to city blocks with cartoon and somewhat actual results. It took me a second look to realize that the old brownstones along the “waterfront” of NY harbor were not reclaimed old LV buildings but faux, authentic brownstones, East Coast style.

On to bed to sleep off the excitement and head back to work.

Oh, and this from Madonna. She was singing behind a screen, and I took this otherwise poor quality but kind of interesting pic on my iPhone:
