Cathleen and I were married on Independence Day in the Little White Chapel on the Strip in America’s Playground, scenic historic Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n
To there do we return, tomorrow through Friday, to celebrate our anniversary. It’s actually a funny place for us to go. Cathy’s interest is gambling is very small, and I have nothing but contempt for negative-expectation games — that is to say, any casino game except Poker. But the Strip is driving-optional, so we can drink and revel and carouse to our heart’s content.<\/p>\n
That, and take in the real estate.<\/p>\n
I will pick on any public transit system anywhere, but I have had no end of fun making fun of the Las Vegas Monorail. Even so, to ride the Monorail with me is to take a commercial real estate tour of the east side of the Strip. I love<\/i> being able to see what’s going on.<\/p>\n
And there’s a lot<\/i> going on right now. I’ve pre-cooked a week’s worth of posts, but I may amend myself with photos, at least, of structures in construction.<\/p>\n
However: We are Realtors. We travel with our files, our phones, our laptops. If you need us, we’ll be available. And if you happen to be in town, we’re at Caesar’s Palace. Give us a call and we’ll take you for a ride on the Monorail…
