When blogger first came out, I thought, "Oh this is so cool, I want one". So I secured the name Chellie's World, played around a bit and between work and life promptly forgot about it.

Seriously, there is just so much to do. Not even the crazy stuff that many might think you always do if you live in Vegas.
I must admit that it is truly different than living anywhere else. Most of the people I know either love it or hate it. There seems to be no in between. I'm one that luvs Las Vegas. And I'm a hardcore former New Yorker so that's saying something!
One of the many things that is great about Las Vegas is that it doesn't matter that what hours your work. Even if you work what is typically known as the swing shift and get off work at let's say 2 or 3 in the morning, there is still plenty to do. It doesn't matter.
Being in the crux of the hospitality industry, many people have to work all of the holidays. Even if you are in management, many still do because so that is time that when we are are super busy so it is all hands on deck.
It's just an accepted way of life and you simply adjust. Many Las Vegans even develop their own quirky ways. Let's say Christmas falls on a Saturday and you're working. A typical conversation between 2 friends will go something like this:
Friend 1: So what are you doing for Christmas this year?
Friend 2: Oh, we are celebrating Christmas on Tuesday. Both Lou and I are off that day so we'll be exchanging gifts Monday night and celebrating Tuesday.
The town is truly 24.7. Not like when I lived in New York and the bars closed at 4am. Looking to have a drink at 4am? Take your pick. The casinos are all open 24/7 and so are the bars.
Hungry? You can get snack or a full course dinner 24/7. Maybe you need to do some mundane grocery shopping. No problem since nearly all of the major supermarkets are open 24/7.
So between working and living, blogging wasn't the first thought on my mind. I wanted to. I really did. I have the natural gift of gab, write well and am pretty outspoken and smart too - - at least that's what they tell me.
And then something happened to change all that.
