We’ll Always Have Paris
Mile 2,450, Las Vegas, NV
After dinner at the Wynn, we walk past Paris Las Vegas, one of the more alluring locations at night on the Strip with its colorful balloon and, of course, its half-size replica of the Eiffel Tower. Note the quasi-French kissing couple and the moving ad for Chippendales (at bottom); we knew going into Vegas that it would be a challenge to redirect the attention of the kids away from the near-saturation of billboards and video screens displaying material suitable only for mature audiences—or immature sex-starved partiers.
