Once I got to Vegas Saturday night (after an uneventful stay at the Hooters Casino), all I could think about was getting out of Vegas.įortunately, like many popular getaways of the mid-20th century, Vegas is nicely situated in the middle of nowhere desert land.
After all, most of my trips there have been on business, during which I've been stranded on the Strip carless, shackled to my hotel casino. Day off, and anticipating no President's Day off, I was grateful for a little post-Christmas vacation.īut being a not-very-Vegasy Vegas traveler, besides the test site tour, I wasn't really sure what I was going to do while in Vegas.
I took a trip to Vegas last weekend to tag along on one of the popular monthly tours of the Nevada Test Site, which I had to book months in advance and unfortunately on a Tuesday, necessitating a few days off from work.Īfter griping about not getting Martin Luther King Jr.
