Stratosphere













Once D's round got underway M and I headed off on the monorail for the Stratosphere. It's not as tall as the CN Tower, but this one has rides on top. M probably would have been willing to try them, but I pleaded old age, poor back, vertigo, and bad hair. I told her she could go on her own, but in the end we settled for the elevator and the observation deck.

What a spectacular day! Big, dry desert valley spreading 20 miles between snow covered mountains - filled with a million and a half people. Still doesn't make any sense. You can't see all the For Sale signs from up here.
