Smith and Myth


So this highlight from our trip to Vegas in 2016, March 5th,  actually happened before the taxi ride to the Tropicana:

          We walked through the Las Vegas airport and I happened to notice a skinny guy with long hair and thought he looked familiar. Then Mike said, “I wonder if we will see anyone famous when we are in town? That guy back there looked like someone famous.”
          “Yeah,......looked kind of like Steven Tyler.” I replied.
          “Yes! Him!” Mike said.
         At baggage claim I told Mike I was going to use the ladies’ room. When I walked across the lobby, the guy who looked like Steven Tyler walked past me (and no, he was not going to the ladies’ room). I looked at one of the cases he was carrying, and a sticker on it said Chris Van Dahl. I made several mental notes at once: this guy was not Steven Tyler; he was much younger than Steven Tyler; google Chris Van Dahl, and tell Mike that Mr. Dahl is the famous person we saw.
          Googling revealed that Chris Van Dahl impersonates Steven Tyler in a band called Aeromyth! How about that! So, Mike and I weren't too crazy!
          He may be the only famous person we cross paths with during our whole visit here in Las Vegas, since I don’t think that all those building-sized posters we keep seeing count as actual famous person sightings.
