 After
visiting the dam, with its low water level and closed services
(it was still early in the morning), we went back up the road
to La Hacienda to partake of their bitchin' $5 breakfast -- good,
not great, but exactly what it is worth. Dan also enjoyed the
$2 blackjack and craps.
On our way back into town, we we
stopped at the Clark County Heritage Museum. That was pretty
nifty. Lots of natural history and anthropology from the region,
do-dads from Fabulous Las Vegas, and whatnot. Out back, they
also have houses dating from 1910-1950 decorated to show how
people in the valley lived during the first half of the last
century. We also got to see that new Packard everyone is talking
about.

Just as we always do in Las Vegas, we woke
up before the sun. The one advantage of the Plaza is that it
is not as classy as the Luxor, so Dan felt no need to shower
and tame his Einstein hair before going down to gamble. It is
interesting to remark, however, that the Plaza is much busier
than the Luxor at the same time: high-rollers must go to bed
early, while folks with hockey player hair cuts and oxygen tanks
on carts avoid their beauty sleep.
