I was<\/strong><\/span> back from Las Vegas, attending a Shaker Heights brunch.\u00a0 Several people asked, \u201cDid you play?\u201d<\/p>\n

Did Yiddishe Cup play Vegas?<\/p>\n

I wish<\/em> Yiddishe Cup had played Vegas.<\/p>\n

I had been <\/span><\/strong>in Las Vegas on vacation with my wife, Alice, and older son, Teddy. \u00a0 I had played blackjack.<\/p>\n

\"Monaco<\/a>

Monaco Motel. The Strattons stayed here in '62. Caught Red Skelton at the Sands nearby.<\/p><\/div>\n

That was my second trip to Vegas. My first trip was in 1962, when a Vegas waitress predicted I (then-12 years old) would return to Nevada for my honeymoon.\u00a0 That waitress was very wrong.<\/p>\n

I prefer outdoorsy vacations.<\/p>\n

On my latest<\/strong><\/span> trip I won $7.50 at blackjack at the Jokers Wild, then quit.\u00a0 I could hardly breathe in the Jokers Wild \u2013- or in any other Nevada casino — because of the cigarette smoke.\u00a0 I hung around the casino parking lot, waiting for Teddy and Alice to finish up.<\/p>\n

My favorite Las Vegas attraction is the Red Rock Canyon, which is similar to Zion National Park, but only 17 miles from Vegas.<\/p>\n

The Red Rock performs daily in an original revue that is F\u2019n Crazy! \u00a0 Be a Part of\u00a0 It!\u00a0 Best Show in Vegas for the Past 900 Years!<\/p>\n
