Dust settles

Wow. Got back from Vegas yesterday. Watched the Stardust casino come down. Amazing! They put on quite a show to a huge crowd at 2:30am. Cannot believe how loud the explosion was. Quickly afterwards, everyone was swallowed up by a enormous cloud of dirt. People were running to get away from it, but we just took it all in. Covered our faces with our shirt sleeves and walked with others down the middle of Las Vegas Blvd. The air was so full of dust and dirt that the street lights were barely visible and you could only see your shoes as you walked. We kept looking for the neon sign of the Frontier casino and could barely make it out. I felt anxious and a bit panicky but kept up the quick pace of the others around us. As we passed the Frontier casino, there on the street corner were four young adult males. Dressed in plaid shorts and shirts (Like Grandpa wore, with black socks and dress shoes) they each had a beer in their hand and were saying the world was coming to an end, After taking a better look (Not easy) I realized that they were all wearing glasses that were completely covered in dirt and they were not able to see out of. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen an regret not stopping long enough to photograph them, it would have made a great front page picture for the Las Vegas newspaper.
