[DeTomaso] I hate Las Vegas

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Asa, 

I saw the same show. I was struck by the scenes shot inside the casinos as well as the scenes on New Years Eve. The "crowds" in the casinos were a) quite sparse by 21st century standards; b) much better behaved than our contemporary crowds and c) dressed much more appropriately than our modern gamblers.......... 

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
