This is My Blog on Las Vegas

Welcome to my blog. I'm Steve, a computer marketing professional in Silicon Valley. I don't gamble. So why am I starting a blog about Las Vegas? It's because friends always ask me where to go and what to do there. It's because I now have the time to do so. And it's because in the six years we've had a second home there we've found so many other things to recommend about Vegas. Restaurants, shows, parks, attractions, recreation, and the outdoors.

Our place is in Summerlin; West of the Strip and near the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area. Specifically, it's in Summerlin Centre and a long block to the Red Rock Casino, the best 'locals' casino with great restaurants, movices, bowling, and arcades as well as gambling. The Summerlin development, more than half-way through its 20-year plan, has been named the US's best many years in a row.

Whereas I am partial to the West side of town, wife Mari has ventured to every corner of Las Vegas in a previous career. She also will play the slots from time to time. When I look at a slot machine I see a computer with a random number generator, a coin machine, and a human interface (lights, sounds, etc.) geared to separate you from your money. She sees hours and hours of fun. I think casinos are still lots of fun ... if you are into people watching. So on this blog you will get at least two different perspectives on many of the entries.

Have a look around. You may also be interested in my other blog about Santa Cruz, California (http://stevessantacruz.blogspot.com/). And you might like our websites on Scott's Guest House (http://www.scottsguesthouse.com/) and Maris Las Vegas Getaway (http://www.marislasvegasgetaway.com/.).
