Olympics at Vegas!

I had a conversation with my mother the other day. We're planning on leaving for the US and she says that she would like to go to Las Vegas to live and teach. I immediately thought of the F1's plans to switch venues by 2009 to have the US GP at the Casino strip in Las Vegas. When I mentioned that I would love to go to Vegas by 2009, she asked if the Olympics were taking place there. Yeah, we got flummoxed! But then the thought came to me, if the Olympics were held in Las Vegas, would it be ethical and would it even be a sound idea?

Now, I don't like to talk about conversations with my family because I am a separate entity from my family and they kind of realized that. Nothing wrong with being a separate entity. However, I thought to myself about the Olympics going to Las Vegas. It would be interesting. I thought to myself whether or not any spectators or atheletes would bother showing up to the events.

Put it this way: Las Vegas is the place to play. If you live there and work there for a living doing certain things, like office job, etc, you're bound to go to a casino, or an arcade, to play around and have fun. Also, the slogan, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"; isn't that a little redundant? If you're going to be broadcasting the biggest event on earth to nobody because it stays there, then what's the point? I've just realized that I've typed out 3 pointless paragraphs here. I'm just going to leave before I do anymore damage. Toodles
