If anyone has been to Las Vegas recently and has suggestions on things to see, let me know - I'll be there for a conferencey work thing in a couple of weeks.

It's a busy week here - lots of planning for the start of the semester, lots of trying to catch up with students about their academic performance last semester. Still feeling lukewarm about work, but so it goes. At least I'm busy right now. Although much of my busyness is waiting for people to email me back, which is unexciting.

Cassie watched American Idol with me last night. She rarely sits and looks at the tv, so it was pretty cute. I think she got upset at some of the bad auditions, because at one point she turned her back on it and came and sat under my feet, the way she does when there are thunderstorms.

That is funny about Cassie. I'm with her -- I don't think I can watch AI anymore.

How long will you be there? Will you have a car?
I have not been there recently, but these things are not going anywhere:

Hoover Dam - it is very mechanical looking
In n Out Burger - oink
Stratosphere Slingshot - get multipack, go over and over again, and go at night. It's the most beautiful view of the city and desert you will see.
Any Cirque Du Soleil is worth the ticket price
Prime Rib: @ Lawry's - oinkity oink oink oink.

I liked the art museum inside the Bellagio. Some really high profile pieces as I recall. The Chihuly glass at the front was fun to look at, too.

The Luxor was no big whoop, though. In fact, it was total crap. Hated it.

I agree with whoever said Cirque shows are worth the price. Love those guys!
