Vegas Lounge


Washington, DC--I know some people who still remember when coming to the Fabulous Vegas Lounge was to be doing something risky and dangerous. But listening to jazz musicians at the Vegas Lounge was worth the risk. 14th & P Street NW was not a safe place in town. Today Whole Foods, Starbucks, a yoga boutique, a gourmet salads place a couple of art galleries are the Vegas Lounge's neighbors. I walk by it almost everyday risking my life while Lupe is given treats by the store owners.

I like this a lot. That building should be called "The Sore Thumb" because it sticks out like one. :)

Guess time and colour did proof otherwise, this place being just as bright as life and its content. A great new month and week for you.

I was born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of my earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around my neck. I was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.
