Yes, in Las Vegas. And no. I don't know what the school was called or what else you could study there, but she studied classical music (oboe). From what I have heard, the school wasn't much different from any other place where you can study classical music.
it's just that it doesn't seem a nice place for musicians
Originally posted by SeitseIt certainly is a weird place. My sister once visited a primary (I think) school there, and she said the lessons were like a big show. It's probably not a good place to raise children, or a place where you'd want to live for several years. But she was there only for a limited time, and she met some interesting musicians and artists there. And you can listen to classical concerts with famous musicians almost for free - nobody goes to Las Vegas to listen to a classical concert, so they have trouble filling the concert halls.

Casinos are a bore and nightclubs are just as void in entertainment value.
So what else is Los Vegas good for?
Need the inside scoop. 😛
She recommends:
* go downtown to watch the overhead light show at night.
* walk the strip and see all the free shows inside and outside. They have a pirate ship fight and sink a ship outside one of the casinos (forgot the name but I can ask her if you want to know).
* ride the outside roller coaster at the New York casino.
* take in the star trek show at one of the casinos.
* ride the public monorail for the experience.
* and don't take taxi's unless you have too.
There was this kid I grew up with - he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me - you know. We did our first work together - worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition - we ran molasses into Canada - made a fortune - you father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him - and trusted him. Later on he had an idea - to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Green - and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man - a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque - or a signpost - or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order - when I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe - I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead - I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen - I didn't ask who gave the order - because it had nothing to do with business.

I don't recommend Las Vegas in the first place, but if you are going to go, the Shark's Reef at Mandalay Bay is well worth the money.
Mandalay Bay also has a cool beach and lazy river.
Other than that, Las Vegas is a bore, stay home if you can.
