What happens in Vegas.

If you ever wondered how they came up with the phrase 'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' you should go for a walk at 5:30 AM Local time. Our first night in Vegas was great, and in keeping with the theme of this post, the stories will stay in Vegas. Let's leave it as the food is fantastic and we still have a few pennies for the rest of the trip. I decided to go for a walk early this morning down the strip. There are people still drinking, although it is obvious some have just passed out, lots of people exercising - you can run down one side of the stip, climb stairs, run down the other side of the strip, climb stairs, run down the other side etc. Multiple people were walking home still with their name badges on from the various hotels. The thing that stuck me was the number of cleaning people. There must have been 100 plus poeple out cleaning up from the party last night. Amazing. Within a few hours I am sure the place will be ready to start the party all over again. In a couple of hours we will go pick up the bikes, put riding boots, cloves and protective gear on, and ride into 110 degree heat. Now that is what I call fun. One last thought. As I was picking up the pace on my walk I ran up behind this guy with the following printed on his T-shirt: You cannot prepare to win, if you do not plan on preparing. - I really liked that.
