Thanks to your friend for writing. Too bad that such regular Vegas
visitors don't post here, but that's their prerogative of course. It
makes one wonder how many others out there are read-only.

I wouldn't stay at the Bellagio again either.

Imagine - so many people admiring Big Mikey silently, from a distance.

I definitely get and agree with what you are saying. For me though, the
attraction is staying in a place (in my case, usually The Venetian) that is
completely opposite to my own personal tastes. I remember my first time
staying there and that I wasn't all that comfortable there. The decor
reminded me too much of my mother's furniture.

Now though, I am quite comfortable staying there. I enjoy the fact that the
decor is so completely different to what I have or desire to have at
home--it really takes me out of my element and makes me feel like I am away.
As the saying goes, it's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live
there. I suppose though that if someone forced me, I could probably get
used to it. ;)
