U was a The language of Las Vegas by Margaret Zeflers Lesici LAS VEGAS, Nevada - There's a language barrier here. No one talks. Or at least those hundreds of people who pull up their chairs in front of a Mot machine at dawn and leave at dude or later, are so dedicated to their mechanical companion that they seldom speak. The far more normal language of Las Veg^s is the ling, ding-ding and clamor of coins as they are offered to or proffered by the thousands of slot machines. Of course, there are other games. You can begin with keno at breakfast. For the uninitiated, that's not cereal. It's a kind of bingo where the odds against you are high, but so are the stakes if you win. Automatic boards light up at prominent locations in the dining room and any other sitting areas to announce the progress of the game. Keno girls wander around in mini-skirts, providing the cards and instructions on play just in case you might not have the strength to get into the gamingtables. cu w Prices here are reasonable-if your resistance is strong. A tube of toothpaste can cost you $10, if you take that much with you as you pass the slot machines leading you into and out of the drug store. After all, this might be your lucky moment-and you don't want to carry all that change around with you. Food and drink do not have to be expensive. In fact, the drinks could be free if you gamble-even as harmlessly as 10 cents a pull from the slot machine. All services are 24-hour in Vegas. There's always some place to eat (and to gamble). Hie scene In the lobby at 5 a.m. is reminscent of most New York hotels at the cocktail hour. Dress is "as you like it." The weather at this time of year is cool-and clear, usually not freezing cold. Evening attire is a la mode as early as 4 p.m. Ladies usually wander in long skirts or dazzling dresses. But informality is all right too.
