One very original way to greet
the new millennium would be to celebrate the New Year
in the desert. But in a very special one: a patch of the
Nevada desert occupied by one of the planet's busiest
cities, Las Vegas. Lovers under a magic spell of passion
can ring in 2001 by getting married for a dollar before
a priest dressed like Elvis Presley in any of the hundreds
of chapels in the city, booths and other various and sundry
establishments dedicated to that purpose. Or you can greet
the new millennium at the baccarat or roulette table,
or attend any of the impressive shows at the major casinos.
