Some solitude on the plane

Izzo Here:  I recently was required to go to a bachelor party for a college buddy of mine in Las Vegas.  I will spare you the details of the tomfoolery, (which there wasn't much of anyway) and get right down to the nitty gritty. If you've never been to Vegas, it's sensory overload, and the architecture has a lot to do with it.  But there is some really nice contemporary stuff out there, and some really nice googie stuff.  Here is a little taste of the trip.

Architecture in Vegas?

Izzo Here: Most people probably think of cheese when it comes to the architecture in Vegas.  On my recent trip there I would tend to agree.  There's lots of cheese; there's a fake Venice, a fake Paris, a fake pyramid, even a fake NYC.  But when it comes to the real deal, the new stuff is pretty impressive.  Even the old old googie stuff is pretty cool.
