A pointless reminder for your suggestions since I did get one from Jose!
He and Somara must be on the same wave length. She mentioned the Neon Museum as shown on the Las Vegas…I mean, Travel Channel. I will leave this one up to her to do all the research on but my friend warned me that they don’t take many visitors per day.
I’m rather bummed over any touring shows coming through. Hell, not even Jay Leno will be there to do his stand-up routine for $100 a seat at the Mirage. Now before you go trashing the guy, I will come to his defense. There’s Jay Leno the host on the dying network and there’s Jay Leno the comedian who I have always enjoyed since first seeing him as a kid in the Seventies (I was the kid in case you’re confused). The man is still respected in most comedy circles; he was a great guest commentator during his stint with The Simpsons and has participated in his own ridicule on South Park and MTV’s Movie Awards. I figure he’s laughing all the way to bank no matter what NBC does. I would like to see the legend cut loose with jokes too nasty for dinosaur TV. It’s like seeing the two personas of Redd Foxx or Rodney Dangerfield.
So we have two things pinned down as the widget states. What shall the other two be? Neon Museum? Pinball Hall of Fame (only if they let us play some of the machines, I’m willing to bring quarters)? The nearby desert, we will have a rental car. No idea. I will rule out a couple things: Donny & Marie at the Flamingo…I had enough of them in the Seventies right after Sonny & Cher; she’s also at Caesar’s Palace to entertain people my mother’s age.
You’ll definitely have to come down to the Pinball Hall of Fame. All the games are playable, and we just got the newest machine made by Stern this morning. See you soon!
