You never know who you might run into in Las Vegas. It’s one of the great vacation spots in the world, and it’s never difficult to convince a friend to go when the moment arises. Its location in the desert also means that it’s accessible any time of year, and a very light rainfall makes it easy to enjoy the strip at night during all the seasons. It’s a meeting place for old friends, and it’s also a great place to do a little star-gazing.

The celebrity contingency is always pretty strong here, where there are many famous people doing shows nightly, but it’s also a place where the Hollywood social set likes to go to unwind and escape the pressures of Los Angeles for awhile. Most everyone enjoys spending time at the five star hotels Vegas is famous for, offering a great vantage point to observe who’s who in town on any particular evening.

It’s also a place that attracts aging celebrities, who want to be close to the glitz and the glamour, but at a more reasonable place. Bob Denver, of Gilligan fame, used to live in nearby Henderson, which is also the home of Tony Curtis these days.

His story is truly spectacular, and evolves along many lines like a snake changing skin. Born in the Bronx to Hungarian parents , Curtis had a pretty fast rise to fame in films because of his handsome looks, tough guy accent, and ability to transform into many different characters. He also had a way with his co-stars, where his natural charisma brought out theirs for some amazing performances.

Now well into his 80s, his dark locks are now gone, and he’s looking his age, but he’s also looking as though he’s gracefully moved into it. He makes paintings now instead of films, and the bright colors and Matisse-like style makes him a popular catch for celebrity art collectors. His work is seen in town, and in museums in other cities, marking a brilliant passage from one form into another, with the same energy and charm running through each.
