Bucking The System

I think that the best value in a Las Vegas vacation is one that is planned around an event. This is especially true if you manage to avoid gambling. Gambling is for losers. If I was to go to Las Vegas, I would not drop one nickel on the casinos. I am obtuse like that.

I would consider getting National Final Rodeo tickets. I am ostensibly anonymous on this blog and I might be giving myself away if I admit to having ridden a steer before. I didn’t make it to the buzzer. I stayed on my feet. There is no prize for staying on your feet.

I think that anyone who is considering a trip to Las Vegas should do a careful internet search to see what events may be coinciding with their trip. I was at a conference thing in the Western US a few years ago and by sheer coincidence one of my favorite bands, the Cowboy Junkies, were playing at the same resort. I was indecisive about playing hooky from my conference and when I finally made up my mind to go to the wicket they were sold out. Actually that’s not quite right. I went early in the morning and there was nobody at the wicket. When I checked later on in the early afternoon there were no tickets.
