There are casinos in the lobby like you said, most hotels have a lot of windows that bring in natural light Vegas avoids this. If people cannot see outside when gambling that don't really know what time it is. I've gambled at 5 am in the morning so don't worry about it. Most people can only spend a few days in Vegas before it drives them crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-61909371784240819022008-07-10T19:02:00.000-04:002008-07-10T19:02:00.000-04:00perelman,You're suffering from an episode of cogn...perelman,<BR/>You're suffering from an episode of cognitive dissonance. You are likely to have more than a ganglionic root filling the void in your head. As a result you have the ability to observe, think about what you've observed and form logical conclusions from that process. The dissonance comes from the fact that few of the others at such a convention have those same characteristics. They haven't passed the observation phase of the cognitive process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-74299422441287553912008-07-10T18:43:00.000-04:002008-07-10T18:43:00.000-04:00Maybe you should write a sequel to Hunter S.
