rich people

[Rob Goodale]

Las Vegas has one of the biggest concentrations of wealth in the world. 
There are hundreds of millionaires, and even a few billionaires have 2nd 
residences here.  I have been in homes that boggle the mind.  You haven't 
seen everything until you've been in a custom granite and marble kitchen 
large enough to land a helicopter in.  One client I've serviced has a 
concert Mason & Hamlin with a PianoDisc Opus player system located in a 
3,000 SqFt entertainment room complete with bar and the largest plasma 
screen made. The room is below ground with one wall of thick glass below the 
water line of the swimming pool, (one of two pools).  Wouldn't you just love 
to gaze through that window at a nude pool party!!  I'm sure they have had 
them.  I have been to many others homes that rival this. Some on hills with 
panorama view of the city below, some on the 30th or higher floors of high 
rise condos, and one that has three theater organs and dozens of classic 
cars worth millions in massive garages.  The tales go on and on.

Other then all the money there is one other common theme.  Not always, but 
90% of them buy cheep grand pianos.  They can't play a note themselves, but 
rather they have PianoDisc systems installed so that they can play them at 
their monthly catered cocktail parties.  I have been in massive hillside 
homes with dinner ware costing more then most people's annual income, and a 
cheep Chinese piano in the corner equipped with a player.  All they care 
about is that it be shiny black, shaped like a grand piano, look good with 
their furniture, and make music when they hit the play button!

Of course when it comes right down to it they are still born the same way as 
everyone else, they wipe their ass the same way, and they die like everyone 
else.  Nothing they can do to change that.  On the flip side I must say I 
wouldn't complain if it were me.  I wouldn't be tuning pianos, that's for 
sure!
