Reflections on the 2009 Olympia Weekend Part II
From the encroaching Winter climate of Denver to the searing heat of the Nevada desert my plane arrived at McCarran International Airport having survived another bumpy flight sans the over zealous flight attendant maybe my luck was starting to change and I was back on track to having a great week.
I manuvered through the airport unfettered picked up my luggage and headed down to hail a Taxi so far so good as my luggage was being placed in the trunk within a few mins of me stepping out of the baggage claim.
Next thing you know I was heading toward my VIP Suite at the Orleans Hotel and Casino. The Orleans offers 1,886 beautiful oversized rooms/"Petite Suites" with separate sitting areas. Spectacular views face the glittering Las Vegas Strip or the sweeping mountain panoramas surrounding the Las Vegas Valley. Free shuttle service is available to their sister property The Gold Coast as well as the Las Vegas strip.
As the Taxi pulled away from the curb night had fallen across the dry heat of the desert and the darkness became iluminated by the sprawling Vegas Strip lit up like the fourth of July all across the face of the globe Vegas is known as Sin City harkening back to the influx of adult entertainment centers which drove the other large gaming centers like Carson City and Galvaston under and of course the colorful characters such as Bugsy Siegal, Myer Lansky and Howard Hughes and numerous acts to many to name from the Rat Pack to Terry Fator.
But this weekend was diferent as we sped down the strip I looked out my window to see a glittering animated digital Billboard with Jay Cutler smiling down Professional Bodybuilding Had Invaded and taken over Vegas Baby! not organized crime. This weekend was about the "O"
And the experiance of a life time for me was about to unfold.
