"If you try to fight Vegas, it'll always win."
"What do you mean?"
"The over-sized hotels and casinos, the flashing lights and shows, and the seedier down-town part of the city -- like a window into a past you'd rather forget. For some people it's like inferno: a nightmare image of hell, and so they're kind of in conflict with it. They either get wrestled to the ground, or they run away. Vegas wins every time."
"What's the alternative, to join the madness and go along with it?"
"Well it's an alternative."
"Or I suppose you could just ignore it, pretend Vegas doesn't exist; circle round it."
"Sometimes I sit still in the middle of all the commotion and after a moment the noise and the lights and buildings, all competing for my attention, pale into a meaningless background hum and then I start to see stuff differently, details that I never knew existed, or people doing things you wouldn't expect. The world turns, and the cars and the people race by and I don't move and then I understand. Las Vegas exists whether you like it or not. Don't fight it, but don't become part of it. Stand back and breathe slowly and within the mayhem, if you look carefully, you will find things that amaze you, things that you love, that you like to pick up and take with you; catch them and keep them. But you should let them go, free to do their own things, to follow their own trail and leave their own tracks in the dust. Because that's what you need as well. That's what makes us who we are."
