Have you ever seen a more glowing complexion on a mountable unicorn head? It’s impressive but look closer. Has our horn-headed friend had some work done? Plainly, there are nips and tucks. Even the most deft surgical hand leaves its mark on a mythical creature. This stitch glitch gives a peek behind the finely crafted Vegas curtain.
Sin City has its image to uphold. A glossy, airbrushed, cosmetic image. Once the glow wears off on something and public taste sours, out goes the old and in comes the next new thing. Restaurants long in the tooth are often short on the clock. The turnover on breads & circuses is swift and sure. Change is baked into the culture of the Vegas strip, slavishly catering to the hungry tourist trade. If you have a favorite haunt on the Boulevard, be prepared for it to become a fond ghostly memory, your own private unicorn.
