in Vegas. We got a great rate on a room through Priceline and went
out to get half price tickets to a show - "V" the variety show.
So we arrived at Planet Hollywood just as the Miss USA pagent ended.
Beautiful young ladies, photographers and doting families and friends
everywhere. Of course at first we didn't know what was happening. The
sashes, crowns and roses pointed to a beauty pagent. It was later we
discovered it was a bigger deal than we realized.
There isn't enough time to tell about all the observations (like the
disabled man who got photographed with as many girls as possible, the
discussions about the politics behind the judging, etc). But I'm
proud of carrying on a civil conversation about beauty pagents with
the aunt of a contestant (N or S Dakota, I forget) while in line for
the show.
The huge crowds of self-absorbed and often intoxicated people all
talking too loudly reminded me of why I dislike this city. But all in
all, it was a nice break from camping. And I LOVED the comfy bed!
On to California!
