Las Vegas

Las Vegas. My favorite place on the planet. The sounds, the excitement, the heat, the resorts, the lights; I love it all. I can wander up and down the Vegas strip or Fremont street all night just looking at everything. I can walk through a casino and just listen and get excited. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy gambling like everyone else in Vegas but that isn't what brings me back.

Keren and I go to Vegas at least once a year, usually in August because we love the triple digit heat. We both enjoy the pools, the booze, the shows and various versions of gambling. However, Keren enjoys Vegas in a very different way than I do. She likes the spa's, fine dining and Cirque shows, all of which don't interest me. The fact that we have such different intrests that can all be served is another reason why I love this town. It is also the reason that you will often get both of our views on each trip we post to cover all aspects of Las Vegas. What happens when we go to Vegas will be posted on this blog, well most of it. Enjoy.

WE ARE BACK!

Sorry it took so long but we have a lot of content to update the blog with.

First, the reason for the delay... After our 2009 Vegas trip, we wanted to make a big post with a lot of pictures, loads of reviews and a fantastic video of Vegas at night set to Sinatra’s "Luck be a Lady". After working on the video for weeks, we tried to post it on YouTube. Shortly after, we were informed that since the rights to that song belong to WMG (Warner Music Group), we weren't allowed to use the song. Apparently, WMG doesn't allow any song they have the rights to to be posted online. So I would like to say officially....FUCK YOU WMG!

So after multiple attempts to re-cut the video with different songs, I conceded that if I could not make the video I wanted to make, I wasn't going to post one. Although I don't agree with WMG's stance on the use of their music, I can't argue with their right to do it.

Brokenhearted, I decided to take a break from the blog. Yet, I didn't stop filming or documenting our adventures in preparation for the day I was ready for our triumphant return. That day is today.

Coming soon; Vegas trips, our Christmas misadventures at Disney World, Beatles Rock Band, more past and future vacation adventures, snowboarding and more videos. We are excited to be back and hope you enjoy all we have share.
