Leaving Las Vegas

I spent a few days in Las Vegas. I was there for a conference of mortgage bankers.

Vegas is an amazing place. There is an unrelenting construction boom going on there that simply has to be seen to be believed. Donald Trump is building condos ($750,000.00 for a studio, up to $6,000.000.00 for a lavish 3BR) and most of the big hotels are adding towers.

I played golf at the Wynn resort. This course features a man-made creek running through it, culminating in a 25-30 ft. waterfall behind the 18th green.

Opulence? Decadence? I don't know, but capitalism is alive and well in that town.
