just read that unemployment in Vegas is highest in the country and that home values are down 60%. Glad I got out when I did.
I'm glad you all like the place....but, man, it grew too fast and, beyond the glitz, it's a pretty seriously fucked up place.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Thunder was one of the things I wanted to go to for my bachelorette...or Seigfreid and Roy. That was my only request.
Stupid 'friends' spent the better part of the night at a friends' house scoring coke while I sat in the hotel room waiting for them until 11pm. Thunder's last show was at 10pm. I asked a bunch of bartenders where to go see hot guys, they just laughed and said "they all went home...only ugly guys out now" .
NO, I AM NOT BITTER :evil:

yes, seriously. :x I didn't even partake in their 'festivities'. I would LOVE a bachelorette re-do!
and DS, have I told you about my Hurricane story? It's not pretty. (I DID have an authentic Pat O'Brien's in NO...I think there's a pic of me out in front of it)

Pat O'Brien's is directly across the street from Fat Tuesday's on Bourbon Street! It's like a frakkin dream!!!!!
One of the many times I have ended up on the patio at mid-day at Pat O's I was with my dad (rip) and a couple of my best friends on the planet. What an awesome memory. (Even if we all looked like we lined up to blow a bunch of clowns when we left! That is the worst thing about Hurricanes; your mouth is stained red for the rest of the day.)

Yes. It's a well known medical FACT that a few of those will solve any problem.
Ordering those to have at home might be a little dangerous for me. :think:

I do not know the Hurrican story and would love to hear it. :shock:
I'll tell the hurricane story when I get back...I have to go to the chiro now.

Don't think I could do that one.
oh c'mon...it's a 'controlled descent' so basically like a vertical zip-line
anyway....my hurricane story:
Got a Hurricane at the Hard Rock since they served them in the sippy cups that come with a lanyard. Gotta walk around bar to bar with a drink in hand at least once right? So, I finished it, wasn't feeling so good, and got stuck on Bourbon street, trying to go thru all the people...then suddenly some random guy grabs my ass, I turn around and start yelling at him (I am the only female in a group of 4), then some other drunk guy starts stumbling and falling and tries to use me as a crutch...well, I'm a short little person, and I go down...land in the gutter which is filled with what they call 'Bourbon Street Sludge', well just getting that close to the sludge will make anybody start to retch...I couldn't stop. Thank goodness I held it all down...I was able to make a clear path because I screamed "I'm gonna puke!" got the hell outta there, got dumped off at the hotel room for the rest of the night. I think I threw those jeans away.
I have another hurricane story that coincidently includes another Hard Rock. :oops:
