In honor of my Viva Las Vegas buddy, I am writing installment two today of our trip to VLV! To say that even the shuttle drive to the hotel was totally exciting would be an understatement, I guess that is what happens even when a 40 something country girl goes to the big city. The lights we saw from the airplane were overwhelming, inviting and exhilarating.
I'm sure the other riders en route to their hotels thought there was a Vegas newbie on board, because I vascillated between sharp intakes of breath and little squeals especially when I saw Paris Las Vegas and the Golden Nugget! Also cool to behold was the skyscraper size billboards for Celine, Toni Braxton and other celebs playing the crowded rooms on the Vegas strip. 
We threw our bags into our rooms and didn't return until daybreak. This would set the schedule for the rest of the week. Leave the room at 10 return at 5 or 6 and sleep ALL DAY! A luxury for someone who gets little downtime. We agreed to stay in the safe confines of our hotel and venture out the next day into the wild world of VLV.After being dissed at the all-night restuarant that was not serving the Prime-Rib sandwich we had hungered for across the country we descended into the pits of the casino and lo and behold we ran into Little Richard, Shania, Dolly, Elvis, Tina Turner, The Blues Brothers and Ricky Martin Living Las Vida Loca above the black jack tables. It wasn't the real deal but the dealertainers of Imperial Palace - who needed Celine when this was going on 24/7 in our home casino.
