Las Vegas - City of the Twenty First Century

Las Vegas has opened the new City Center complex. The architecture alone is worth the trip to the party city. The transportation system, incorporating a series of trams and monorails, is an example other cities should follow. Easy, quick, attractive and clean.

The waterfall wall extends for several hundred yards around the central drive of the City Center complex

I am a Dale Chihuly fan and his gallery is fabulous featuring hundred of his pieces.

There's still the Bellagio with its garden, musical fountain and the world's largest chocolate fountain. Eating is ....well....superb in Vegas.

Caesars Palace, MGM, The Mirage are all still there....and New York, New York (why New York I"m not sure...why not schedule a trip to the real place?)

ABOUT META

Meta Strauss moved from her life-long home, Houston, Texas in 2005 to northern California. She lives in the heart of wine country where the scenery, weather and people are so perfect locals don't like to brag for fear the entire world will move to Sonoma and spoil the small town atmosphere. Meta joins the long list of artists, writers, film-makers, chefs, gardeners and philosophers who live in the Valley of the Moon, fertile ground for growing in creativity and contentment.

Meta's writing is often published in the Sonoma Sun's Fine Art Section. Her work appears in the anthology Cry of the Nightbird and a memoir of family tales, Stories for Emma, is available on Amazon.

Meta's first novel, Saving El Chico was released in January, 2016, available on Amazon, Kindle and at local book stores.

From the owners of Ed’s Salvage Yard and Golf Course to the Be Lovely Boutique, citizens of the small west Texas town of El Chico band together in order to survive and flourish in the twenty-first century. A devastating drought appears to be the final blow to the community and Bea McPherson’s Circle McP Ranch. Taking advantage of the situation, a fast-talking Dallas businessman joins with the local mayor to swindle the residents. They don't count on the unwavering devotion to the land and shrewdness of the female rancher aided by Jake, a cowboy who was born a hundred years too late, and Silver Crow, the Great-Grandson of Quanah Parker, noble chief of the Comanche nation.
