Casino
Okay, okay, so we did go to a casino while we were in Las Vegas. The Bellagio. We took the monorail there, or as close as we could get. But we didn't gamble or see a show. As I've mentioned before, that's

Monorail
Did you know that there's a train in downtown Las Vegas? It's not what you might think. It's a monorail. The Las Vegas Monorail is owned and maintained by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

Springs Preserve
Every city has to start somewhere. Las Vegas started at the Springs Preserve. Wikipedia tells us, The Las Vegas Springs or Big Springs is the site of a natural oasis, known traditionally as a cienega.
