I had a great time. Vegas always reminds me of New York, but with no desert, mountains or Joshua Trees.
I'm back in Ohio, though. The only thing I'm trying to get used to, again, is trying to get my internal clock to stop thinking that a typical overcast Ohio day is not time being perpetually stuck at 6am.
But, hey... when I come out to the Southwest, permanently, you (and everyone else) should come out. I'll always have a couch open.
Are you kidding? Me! I want to :D I've never been to Las Vegas. Always wanted to, though. I imagine the morning skies there would be the color of wet cement until the sun got hot enough to break up the clouds.
Someone I knew from Akron once told me Ohio has four seasons--winter, almost winter, still winter, and construction. Is that true?
Oh, you'll love it! The only thing I recommend is that you don't drink at O'Sheas Casino... though they may claim they're an "Irish Pub", they're selection of traditional, Irish booze sucks (it's mainly Miller Light and fruty mixed-drinks).
Oh, quite the opposite. The skies are always cloudless/partly clear, due to Vegas being in a high-altitude desert. In winter, the sky just tend to have a muted look in the mornings because, at night, the moisture from the mountains sink into the Las Vegas Valley and forms light fog. It’s just that our weirdly-tinted sky and the fact the leafless trees makes everything look darker just reminded me of 6am Vegas.
Aw dude, the Akron-Cleveland metro area... the third snowiest place in the US. Yeah, that's a very common joke about that area. But, I live on the other end of Ohio, so our "seasons" are a bit different.
They go: Flood, Tornado, Flood and Tornado, Blizzard.
* Of course, the bulk of our seasons are made up of "Crazy-Ass Indiana Weather Season". *
