| Our table for two hours. |
In Las Vegas it's easy for non-members to sport the appearance of being part of the
one-percent club. (For example, as of this writing a
Maserati may be rented for $675 per day.)We were invited by friends to lunch at the
Mansion, the MGM Grand Hotel's oasis for
whales. We were the only patrons in the garden while we enjoyed a quiet leisurely lunch. There was no hint that the bustling Strip was only a block away. After lunch we strolled around the trees and admired the statuary.

Whales don't care that the duck breast entree
weighs less than a hamburger and costs $35. |
On this trip we didn't set a foot in old Las Vegas. I missed having gaming palaces a short walk from each other, but I didn't miss the cigarette smoke or the grime. A vacation on the Strip
is more expensive than
downtown but costs less than Honolulu, New York, or LA....that is, if one is disciplined at the tables. This time I kept my head, or maybe just was lucky. We won't wait five years to return.
