      And if ya didn't know...the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign that is in place today, is the original. It's never been replaced....at least according to one of our limo drivers. Maybe I should wikipedia that...

        The new show "Vegas" looks pretty solid as well. Good little history bits in it also.

                  That pic of 1940's roulette table reminds me of being in O'Sheas. Minus the beer pong. I miss O'Sheas...

                    I don't know what it was, the people, the beer pong or something but it always had a horrible smell in there.
