Las Vegas: Where Old Stars Go to Die

We've all seen it the aging stars going off to do shows on the Strip. And maybe its just because I'm getting old myself the some of the stars seem too big to be in Vegas to me. I don't think of Elton John as aging even thought the facts must be accepted. And when we asked at the Bette Midler show if she saw people after the show, they laughed and said "No, she is 62 you know." Sixty two... wow, no, actually I didn't know. And so I realize time is rushing on.

While I expect to see Donnie and Marie in Vegas. Not so much with Seinfeld. I guess Vegas is the center of the comedy universe after you've conquered TV. I was still surprised. And I realize Cher is classic Vegas fare. And I still think more of her than that.

But I'm thinking I should come back just to catch the old stars before they go....
