<p>I’m back from Vegas and I’m here to tell you that I had a great
time… but it is so good to be home! I always like Vegas for about the
first 48 hours… then I feel like I need to get away. We arrived on
Monday, hung out, signed up for timeshare presentations (which I’ll
review in a separate post), Tuesday we went to presentations and a
show. Wednesday morning all I really wanted to do was go to the local
Borders Bookstore get a latte, browse the books, open my computer, blog
and read email.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>I am a real party animal, huh?</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>Well there is no Borders on the strip, go figure! We went downtown…
no Borders there either. I know there is one somewhere… just not
anywhere I was. So we ended up eating at the Rainforest Cafe at MGM and
that made me relax a little. At least it offered a break from the
casinos! We were fortunate to get a table right by one of their
beautiful saltwater aquariums, where I named a couple of the fish
Stripe and Spot. Stripe sat on the bottom of the aquarium and spot
would visit him occasionally. When Stripe finally turned and swam a bit
in my direction I laughed. He had buck teeth and a big gap in the front
center! They gave him “personality.” I was just happy for the diversion
(and the tasty grilled Mahi Mahi that I had for dinner!)</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>Now we are back in Michigan, where people are <em>not</em> throwing
their money away! We could use some of that Vegas free-wheeling here to
perk up the economy. I hereby invite some of the high rollers to come
into town and take a gamble here… and I don’t mean at our casinos… <em>I mean in business!</em>
A gamble in Michigan will pay off in dividends besides just money (and
tax breaks… it is your chance to be a bona fide hero!) Come put our
people to work and help us through the current downturn!</p>
