December 6 movie: Ocean's Eleven. I think we're going to be watching a lot of movies about Vegas over the next few months. This is the original Rat Pack version, and I've seen it a dozen times, although I have to admit it isn't a very good movie. I just love the music, the shots of old Vegas and that koo-koo Rat Pack vibe. Of the five casinos they rob in the movie, Georg and I have been in 3: the Sahara (which is where we saw the Rat Pack is Back re-enactor show), the Desert Inn (which was torn down soon after our first visit to Vegas) and the Flamingo (which is where I took a photo of a giant hot dog sign for Charo). And we were thrilled to see footage of that old statue of the people and the camel, which is still standing outside the Sahara!
