UFC Diary: Sport's gamblers set to rain down in Vegas

It rained in Las Vegas on Monday evening. For about 15 minutes.

Dark, swirling crowds gathered over Red Rock Canyon and rolled east into the city. Our west-facing bedroom window at the Luxor hotel meant we had a pretty enviable view of this meteorological phenomenon. Just one of the many benefits of sleeping in a glass pyramid.

So the clouds rolled in. And then it rained. It was a good healthy dousing, they didn’t spare it. But it didn’t cause us to look up from our tablet (well, we were in a pyramid) for too long. Having gone to a school in Sligo that was only separated from the Atlantic Ocean by about three golf holes, dark rolling clouds lost their aura quite early in life.
