Nice, informative essay. I, too, went to Las Vegas some years ago for a literary reason. I was moderating a panel at the University, consisting of ex Peace Corps Volunteers: Paul Theroux, Peter Hessler, and Mary-Ann Tirone Smith. The topic was Bringing the World Home. The irony of having it in Las Vegas was too hilarious to ignore.

Thank you-- it's the upside-down side but that can be cool too.

Sounds like a fascinating few days ... And much more interesting than the gambling machines!
