a sinister encampment area? A blue Mustang sculpture with demonic red shining eyes will greet tourists as they travel to the airport. Some will also take note of the many planes travelling in and out of the area using the numerous runways. The design of the runways is said to resemble a Nazi swastika. Within the airport are a few murals that portray some morbid scenes of oppression. There is barbed wire fencing surrounding the area, yet the wire seems to be configured to keep things in rather

Life in Las Vegas Hell is expensive. This is my first thought as my plane lands in Las Vegas. The Luxor hotel's glass pyramid seems dangerously close to the runway's edge, as do its chocolate-and-gold sphinx and rows of shaved palms. I wonder if these rooms tremble when jets land. Behind the Luxor are mountains kissed by dust the hue of bone; to its left lies the Strip, where color is so bright it looks like it has died, rotted, and come back as a poisonous flower.
