Viva Las Vegas!: Woooo Baby! Sweet suites, rhythmic Blue Men, pyramids of glass, triple double diamonds, blistering heat and scalding sun, skywalks, jacuzzis, aquabats and dancing water, comp beers in the sports book, iron chefs, chocolate souffles, and wacked-out cabbies with winning football picks.

Needless to say, I'll need a couple of days to recover.

Oh, and as expected, Northwest Airlines remains Northwest Airlines.
