Mantra of the Day: Too much of a good thing is won-der-ful. - Mae West
Steve Wynn is my hero. In the land of excess, the King of the Vegas Strip always manages to take things to the next level, in
the best possible way. (For my uninformed readers, Mr. Wynn is the casino resort developer behind The Mirage, So, me and the girls went to the campiest place on Earth last week for fun, food and fashion. Where else can you choose from dozens of all-you-can-eat buffets, shop ‘til you drop, walk down the street drinking a 3-foot tall margarita, gamble nearly anywhere and see a different show featuring scantily-clad dancers every night? Vegas is one of those love-it or hate-it places. When you’re with your alcohol-induced crew, it’s hard not to love it, especially when you have a little money to toss around. Suffice it to say that we gambled, drank, shopped, and partied like there was no tomorrow.
We even spent a few hours one afternoon visiting the museum of the late great “King of Bling”, Liberace. If this man was not the perfect representation for Vegas, I don’t know who or what is. My eyeballs are still stinging from the sequins, Swarovski crystals, and bright colors in his cars, pianos, clothes, and shoes. (I made the horrid mistake of leaving my sunglasses in the car.) In comparison to him, I also feel much less feminine. I do feel inspired though; the man lived life to its absolute fullest.
Make it happen, people!
