Welcome to Las Vegas the sign said at the airport. Poker machnes at the baggage area and up to 50 million visitors per year - the jewel in the desert.

We went to a Circque de Soiele ( sorry I need to check to spelling) Karkana - brilliant lighting, sound,staging, acrobatics, costumes. Got a half price ticket in the VIP area for $127, normally $210. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Picture is of me with a clown during the pre-show entertainment

Much more to write about our first evening so check back regularly.

Off on a tour tomorrow. Not sure how wifi will be. We will keep blogging off line and when the connection is there we will update.
