OK, the Palazzo is straight up redonkulous. \u00a0In terms of Zombie attack, I am on the 17th floor, so probably safe, but this room is larger than my house. \u00a0I have 3 TVs to chose from at any given moment, I think I like the one next to the jacuzzi tub the best though.<\/p>\n
Anyway, for those that don’t know, I am in Vegas as a guest of the Armed Forces Foundation<\/a> and Mr. Sheldon Adelson who should need no introduction. \u00a0 The AFF is flying in wounded troops and their families from WRAMC to show them a good time, and just remind them how much America supports them and honors their sacrifice. \u00a0JR Salzman is rolling in later, and I am about to head out to meet the private jet bringing in the guys. \u00a0They are being met by a police escort, the LV Fire Department and a host of other folks, like the President (CEO?) of Omaha Steaks, which I am happy to say I purchased someone for Christmas. \u00a0(No, not any of you.)<\/p>\n To say they rolled out the red carpet is an understatement. \u00a0Seriously. \u00a0I met a lovely young lady bearing a placard with my last name at the airport and said hello. \u00a0She frowned at me initially and asked me my first name. \u00a0I kid you not, I had to think about it. \u00a0She later told me I was the third person to claim the limo. \u00a0(Heh!) \u00a0As with the two other Palazzo employees I have met so far, she was wonderful. \u00a0I felt like undercover boss for some inexplicable reason. \u00a0But when I told the lady what I do for a living (writing, not making pee pee jokes) she told me all about her son whose life-long goal it is to attend the USAFA in Colorado. \u00a0Kid is studying trigonomotry. In the 10th grade. \u00a0Wants to be a aeronautical engineer. \u00a0I even gave her my card and offered to give whatever meager help I could in securing him a Congressional.<\/p>\n Anyway, if you aren’t a friend of mine on Facebook, you should be. \u00a0Send me a friend request,<\/a> I okay almost all of them, unless you are a clearly underage girl dressed provocatively. \u00a0(In which case you are more likely a steam pipe fitter from Pittsburgh named Phil or some other non-female.) \u00a0I will be updating all through the day on what we do.<\/p>\n Either way, I’ll have more in the next few days as these guys and gals get spoiled rotten. \u00a0(Myself included apparently.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
