I picked up today’s Matchbook Monday from the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. Last month I was visiting the city for a few days, and found myself at the MGM before a performance of Ka (a Cirque du Soleil performance).
Since I had about an hour to spare before meeting a friend to see […]
Next month I’ll be going back to Guadalajara, Mexico, a city that I haven’t visited for about 15 years.
What I always loved about Guadalajara, was that it was a “real” city, as opposed to the beach cities. Although tourism plays an important of the economic fabric of the Guadalajara, the city is also home […]
