Chinese New Year 2012 The Year of the Dragon a year of good fortune and exciting opportunities and we've kicked ours off in Las Vegas, Nevada in fact it started here in December, yes we've been in "Sin City" for two months in a very nice house just 10 mins from the madness, excess and buzz of the famous Strip. We celebrated New Year with Stevie Wonder dining at home on Heinz baked beans and poached eggs at 4.00 am prepared by John, still dressed in his suit, it was BRILLIANT!!
When friends knew we were spending 2 months in LV comments ranged from "Are you mad" "What, Las Vegas, two months, rather you than me" didn't hear one "Ooooh I'm jealous" well let me tell you party poopers it's been great. We don't drink, well not too excess anyway, or gamble there's only one winner in that equation, but we like good food, Vegas is great for that, I have been know to shop a little, Vegas is great for that, we love the theatre and concerts Vegas is great for that too, Cirque de Soliel practically live here and if you want all that it's certainly here, in abundance
But everyone, there is also a very normal, active and rewarding day to day life here. Weather is great, the sun shines most of the time, breathtaking sun sets and Nevada has amazing scenery, excellent golf courses, good skiing, hiking, horse riding and mountain biking. So if you're lucky enough to be offered a sit in Vegas with all the money you'll save on hotel bills you can enjoy some wonderful shows, Le Reve at the Wynn is a dream, Love at the Mirage is a Magical Mystery Tour, Celine, Elton or Rod at Ceasars will rock you and if Heinz beans doesn't do it for you try the crab at Joe's Crab House in the Forum at Ceasars ..... There is much more to Vegas than slots, blackjack and poker, trust me!!
