THERE WAS A TIME WHEN ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS lived in Las Vegas. The company that she worked for happened to have their national headquarters there. To see her, or to catch a plane east, were the only two reasons I’d ever go near the place. Living in southern Utah at that time, the drive down to Vegas took about four hours. The final portion of the drive was on interstate highway through drab, boring desert. Eventually, Vegas would begin to appear off in the hazy, indistinct distance, along with more roadside billboards, more industrial-looking businesses, with the obscure appearance of the Vegas entertainment Strip growing slowly larger, like a pimple on a butt, as the amount of traffic increases and you begin to enter the purlieu of this gross adult playground. The one time I grit my teeth and ventured into one of the casinos, the place reeked of cigarette smoke and the cheap perfume on the old ladies sitting at row after row of slot machines. The entire Vegas Strip is Americana in its most grotesque manifestation. I couldn’t wait to get away from the place, even if it meant not getting to see Wayne Newton.
