They should have called it Vertigo. Seriously.

My whole life I’ve been a huge fan of amusement park rides – roller coasters, especially – and all of thatthe stratosphere at dusk from below sort of thing. I loved it so much so, in fact, that it’s particularly odd that I still have never ridden a ride here in Las Vegas – well, at least not until last weekend.

I’ve always sort of intended to go and catch his show but it seems like his schedule is a little unpredictable the last few years. He takes long breaks, it appears, then I’ll see billboards saying he’s doing his nightly show at the Flamingo again and I think “I really should go see that little slice of classic Vegas while it’s still available.” And then I get the news (again) – he’s on hiatus.
