Vertigo

While staying at the Luxor in Las Vegas, we got upgraded. We got moved from the 3 floor to the 25th floor. No problem. The worst that we had to deal with on the third floor was the 3 story ride in the glass elevator.

But, as I said, we got upgraded. I don’t know if the upgrade was due to me winning $5 on the penny slots or if it was due to me wearing my cowboy hat like Amarillo Slim. Either way, we got moved up.

We were now assigned to the 25th floor. The elevators to the 25th floor were in one special corner of the pyramid and you had to use your room key to get up there.

Well, since we were being moved, they sent some one to help us move. Paul seemed to know just exactly where to take us and was very courteously . Great! No instructions to follow, we just followed Paul.

Paul took us to the special elevator, which was named the inclinator, and opened the doors. Up we went, luggage and all. Once we got to 25, he showed us where to go. That is where things got interesting.

We stepped out of the elevator and on to the floor and around the corner to the rooms. Unfortunately, the view of 25 floors down, was wide open over the balcony.

Given that I have vertigo, things started spinning as I caught a glimpse of the 25 floors below. I quickly moved away from the railing in order to keep my balance.

Knowing that I would have to deal with this for the next few days ( my fate for winning at the slots), I mustarded my strength. I grabbed the railing and looked over the edge; right down to the people that were looking up at me.

They seemed surprised that someone was looking back at them and I can understand that as I was surprised that someone was looking up at me. Maybe they thought that I was a jumper.

Well, while I am not wild about looking over the edge, I can tolerate, it I guess.
