Travel Diaries: Las Vegas – Day One By Duane Wells Touchdown Las Vegas! Day one and I'm on my way to Las Vegas for a weekend excursion. Before this day is over I will have survived a bubbly gaggle of bachelorette party revelers, nibbled on Pan Asian cuisine, sampled a decadent snack while enjoying a classic Vegas sextravaganza, dined on 'stacked' surf & turf, downed copious amounts of vodka and mingled on a dancefloor or two.
