The only way I could get there would be if Wal-Mart sent me there to sweep floors at one of their stores.

‘Course, maybe by that time a big publisher or Producer will discover my novel and I’ll have a few extra shekels. If not, then I will visit “BlogWorld” vicariously through you, Sis.

ST, the first round of “Warp Core Breaches” at Quark’s Bar (located at Star Trek: The Experience inside the Las Vegas Hilton—a mere stone’s throw away) is on me.

I’ve been to that Star Trek experience and it was AWESOME!!! I was very impressed with it. Definitely go!!!!

I’ll be there with my Elvis costume on!!

Ok, I made up that last part, but the Star Trek experience is still pretty cool, even if you are not a fan.

Here is the best advice you are going to ever get on visiting Las Vegas:

As SOON as you get settled in, get a pass for the Las Vegas Monorail. It runs from the MGM Grand to the Sahara. Go ahead and splurge the extra five bucks and get a three-day pass instead of a ten-ride pass (so that you’re not constantly worrying about how many more trips you can take on it, and since I’m sure you’re going to want to spend more than two days there.)

Your feet will thank you.
