Not so long ago, I was chasing the sunlight all the way to Las Vegas, Nevada. Before the light turned dark, I caught a glimpse of Lake Mead and the vast and exquisite desert landscape thousands of feet in the sky.

Before the sun’s final eve, I sat back and savored every color of 2019…

‘Time to explore,’ I thought, after the colors faded, nostalgia settled, and the energy that is night-time awoke.

What to do?

Where to go?

As far as the eye can see dazzling lights spectacularly blinding and bright with a few billion in between.

Downtown, a rush of opulent amusements and disturbingly entertaining acts.

The Strip, a terrific twenty-four hour, show-stopping, roll-the-dice kind of lifestyle.

There is so much more to this desert oasis, than what you see on the plane flight in.

It is not yet midnight and I am not quite lost in a sea of people, as the countdown to midnight begins…

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

Happy New Year from Las Vegas!
