Home Sweet Slot Machine

Ah, home once again...I was welcomed back to Vegas by the boisterous spinning of the Vegas icon, the slot machine (ok, there are several icons here--I guess this one is the most commonly seen, aside from Elvis).  I saturated the colors just a bit more for effect because the Vegas airport really is an over stimulating place full of color, funny looking people, flashing signs everywhere you turn and more limo drivers than you can shake a stick at.  As tacky as it is, it's home now and it made me happy to see these gaudy metal boxes and slightly unctuous vinyl chairs.  They beacon the hopeful visitor and almost wink at the old friend knowingly...it's good to be back.
