Las Vegas

I'm in Sahara in Las Vegas. I'm quite tired, and I'm about to go out for dinner. I spent most of the afternoon talking on the phone (actually, two at once at times!), and walking around casinos looking for bars. Marvellous!

Hopefully I can steal Sam's photographs at some point… it would be nice to have a record. The architecture of this place is amazing, and the amount of effort put into extracting money from people is noteworthy, but the people themselves disturb me: cold, dead, expressionless eyes watching coins clatter into machines. It's the human equivalent to the way too much office air conditioning makes you feel. Perhaps a place like this needs to exist, and there might be good in it, but it still makes me a little nauseous.

Oh, and I paid $12 for this connectivity. What a scam!
