Vegas baby, Vegas!

I still don't officially remember very much that happened this weekend. But Las Vegas does have some pretty mad architecture so here are a few pictures before I go to bed. Hard to appreciate the scale if you haven't been there: the Mirage (above) and the New York-New York (below) have 3044 and 2024 rooms, respectively. The NY-NY has a 1/2 scale model Statue of Liberty and also a roller coaster in it, which is pretty cool but not nearly as cool as SPEED, the electromagnet powered roller coaster at the Sahara that shoots you out into the sun at a ridiculous speed (to which you accelerated shockingly quickly). I am also heartbroken to report that the digital photos of us with the trained parrots have been somehow lost (or rather since they were on my memory card, which is just fine except for that those pictures aren't there, were probably not recorded properly to the card in the first place).
