it’s a great thing we had a car because i totally underestimated a taxi fare to downtown vegas (about a $50 round trip). i wanted to see downtown again since i hadn’t gone in years. it’s a seedy little place, really only for hardcore gamblers, but it’s got a lot of history there i can appreciate.
old-style vegas, f’ril.

jeremy making fun of me. it’s quite hard for me to be photogenic.
the fremont street experience is totally and uniquely vegas. a huge canopy (four blocks in length, many stories high) consisting of 12.5 million led lights and 220 speakers covers it all. at night, light and music shows play for about five minutes. it’s all extremely and flawlessly engineered, and although the shows tend to be tacky as hell (the one we saw was about motorcycles and race cars, to the music of “born to be wild”), even jeremy agreed that it was a cool experience.
