Las Vegas...Riders of the Thunderdome wow rapt audiences at Fremont Experience! January 17th - 18th
Uptown, tourists are coughing up big bucks to catch a glitzy stage show or two in one of the Hotel Casino theatres on the strip.
But, the adventurous few who strike out on their own to the Fremont Street are in for quite a thrilling adrenalin rush, too.
Last night, for instance, the "Riders of the Thunderdome" were wowing rapt audiendes with dare-devil tricks that defied belief.
Imagine a golden globe (the globe of death) 15.3 feet in diameter - crafted in wire mesh - and not 1 - or 2 - but an astounding 3 motorcylists maneuvering their high-performances bikes "inside" the globe at hair-raising speeds!
Wild! Thrilling! Heart-pounding feats!
The manager of the motley crew wistfully recalled that he honed his skills for over two years before taking a risky grasp at the golden ring - er - globe.
"It takes a lot of guts even for a seasoned driver," one spectator noted.
After all, one false move, and it could be uncertain death!
The rag-tag bikers are performing through Sunday January 18th.
(2 shows nightly)

Las Vegas...day after Christmas & decorations are down! Business as usual...
When I strode out of my Hotel this morning bright and early in search of breakies to satisfy a hunger pain in my gut, I was taken aback when I spied a posse of City Workers disassembling the festive Christmas tree which lit up the downtown strip (on Fremont Street) just yesterday!
One day after the Sainted birth of Jesus Christ (Our Lord) and it's already back-to-business as usual in Las Vegas!
I expect that the tree and trimmings were just meant to appease a handful of Christians who popped into town to celebrate the Holy "day".
Now that the sacred moment has passed, time to sweep out the sentiment and get back to making the big bucks, eh?
I guess no one informed Las Vegas City Officials that it is bad luck to take down a Christmas tree before New Years Day.
As the Chinese would say:
"May you live in interesting times."
Bah Humbug!
