The Cities of CSI
line
July 2007

If you enjoyed the Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) theme at last year's Owner Barbeque, our special profile of CSI cities based on the popular television trio is sure to peak your interest.

Although most of the filming is done in LA, we've managed to dig up some fan-oriented activities and some RCI resorts in each location.

As three distinct cities with three unmistakable characters, Las Vegas, Miami and New York offer endless sights to see, things to do, and major points of interest.

Whether you select one of these cities as a CSI fan, or chose according to your particular travel taste, be sure to bring your walking shoes, your curiosity, and a tenacious sense of adventure.
