My son has asked to celebrate his 21st birthday in Las Vegas, and, as a frequent visitor, I thought it might make for an entertaining father-son trip. Looking at the calendar while planning the trip, I was struck by an interesting question: Will he legally be 21 at midnight in our time zone back on the east coast (9 p.m. local time), or will we have to wait until midnight local Las Vegas time, 3 hours later?

In my 26 years of going to Las Vegas, I've never been there during a Super Bowl. I will finally make one this year. One of my gambling buddies, who claims to have made 22 Super Bowl games in Vegas, told me there's a need for sports book reservations on that day. We've been pranking each other for a while, but still, I don't want to miss out. Is he, as I suspect, full of it? Either way, I'm looking forward to this trip.
