Spring Valley Hospital Vegas

Las Vegas is a city build upon sand. Somewhere, far beneath, underground streams once ran to the ocean, but to the naked eye, it's simply an oasis in the desert.

The first time I flew to Vegas from Canada was only my second trip ever by airplane. I was buffeted by the turbulence over Utah and then, suddenly, more mountains yet. As we approached, passengers started craning their necks to peer out the windows. Being on the wrong side of the plane (of course), I had to wait until we swung around to get my first glimpse of this neon metropolis. And there she was, glittering and beckoning for us to “come on down.” For me, it was love at first sight.

What first impressed this plains dweller were the palm trees and the stark mountains. Everywhere I looked, there was excavation; and everywhere there was construction, there was also white sand. In the Prairies where I grew up, construction meant thick black loam and the granite underscoring of the Cambrian Shield. When I had visited the Maritime Provinces as a teenager, it had been dense, red clay. This was something new and fascinating.
