Las Vegas: Red Rock Resort casino offers one of the best and least expensive daily buffets in the city. Signs posted around the casino insist: "We love locals." Considering all of the attractions aimed at locals during the week days, I have to believe they are happy to have our business.

1 March 2014

 

Greetings from Las Vegas again,

I did eventually make it back to Nevada after the Sri Lanka-Bangkok adventure, though not a peep has escaped from my mouth or finger tips reporting on the latest adventures. I'll try to rectify that "oversight" as soon as a list of truly urgent issues dwindles a bit.

While reviewing my book length list of procrastination tactics, I realized how I have neglected one of the most obvious travel destinations "visited" during my extensive wanderings: Las Vegas, my current home town. So, this is a feeble attempt to rectify that neglect... starting with my favorite breakfast buffet venue, the Red Rock Resort and Casino and its Feast Buffet.

Since returning I have been busy, busy. That comment by my Thai urologist that even at eighty, prostate cancer could pose a series threat to denying some other product of aging the honor of ending my life... if it turns out to be the "tiger" version rather than the more common "pussycat." Finding a urologist in Las Vegas satisfying my finicky qualifications turned out to occupy the better part of two months. Finally, I found Dr. Steven Kurtz, a fellow UCB graduate with whom I found an immediate rapport. Working from the same playbook as my Thai doctor, he insisted on an immediate biopsy plus a repeat of the troublesome PSA test done a few months earlier in Bangkok. The findings suggested patches of aggressive neoplastic activity. My age and apparently vital healthy lifestyle prompted Kurtz to recommend an aggressive therapy (with curative intent!). My own research of the NCCN treatment protocols exactly corroborated those prescribed by Dr. Kurtz.

Image Guided External Radiation treatments every weekday for nine weeks forced me to "commute" five times a week for the five minute painless treatment some ten miles from my house... and to postpone the interrupted East Asian explorations planned for earlier this year.

 

Peace,

Fred L Bellomy

Las Vegas: Red Rock Resort buffet offers a "feast" everyday of the week, with a scrumptious and lavish Champaign brunch on Sundays. Eggs Benedict like these are always on the menu.
