>>You forgot to mention free and fair markets without Fed and Wall St. intervention in the decks, spins, and rolls. (g)<< wayne, you can find out the odds in vegas in advance. the bellagio was fantastic. the best hotel there i have ever visited. the art gallery there was really nice. mot, renoit, rembrandt and a few others. rembrandt is so good he took some ugly mug and painted a masterpiece. the hair looked real, as did the rest of the face. unreal. the bellagio buffet is the best in vegas. the second best buffet is at the rio. there are two lines, the second of which is not easy to find and is 50-80% shorter than the "yeah, we're tourists" line. >>Just watch out for the boxing judges.<< didn't need a judge to do me in. i wanted to bet the fight 'cause that was the vegas thing to do while in vegas. the odds on both fighters sucked. i took de la runna (wish i knew that going in!) in a decision at 5 to 2. i liked those odds as a knock out, imho, was unlikely. unfortunately, it was unlikely b/c my guy ran away all night. doh! we hung out at the mandelay and people watched 'cause the ladies felt that was the thing to do. we saw montel williams, michael keaton, spree and a few other nbaers. oh, and this was silicon valley east. some 130 lb chicks were 80 lbs w/o the silicon. unreal. the chiropracters will be realin' in the dough 10 years down the line. fun trip, but the smoke sucks big!
