    The Boardwalk was the place with the fake roller coater and big clown head right?

    If there is any way you can swing it work-wise, going during the weekdays present the best deals. Not even close -- the rates for everything double to quadruple on weekends.
    Course that is when all of the animals come out to play; which makes it lots of fun as well.

    Sportsbooks, poker rooms, craps tables, blackjack tables, roulette wheels, hotel pools, bars, beer pong at O'Shea's, strippers(at said strip club and in hotel room), drugs, booze, delicious restaurants of all kinds, drinking on income and departing flights, sleeping for minimal amounts of time, complimentary robes, more drugs and booze - really, what else could someone want? I love Vegas.

    Sorry about the amusement rides, but I don't really find them to be a necessity. The above I consider necessities. ;)

    I know...we're going out for my bachelor party so we're keeping it on the weekend. We're going to pay much more than usual, but like you said...the animals come out to play.

    All of these reasons and probably some others I can't think of are why my bachelor party will be in Vegas. It's actually a dual bachelor party with another friend of mine. 20 dudes...should be a complete shitshow.

    You should film the whole event and release it as a "documentary." :lol:

    Although, seeing that it's a duel bachelor party... there will probably be some material that you don't want to be seen, or you yourself won't even want to see again.

    Saw an episode of Vegas Strip last night. Think of 'COPS in Vegas' (it's on truTV)

    One guy was running around spray painting people, and the po-po found him and chased him, he runs, they tazer him, he falls does a face plant, blood everywhere (hit his nose, didn't break it), they toss him in the paddy wagon with the other drunks.
    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.

    I saw that episode last year. It combines two of my favorite things. Reality cop shows and Las Vegas. It's pretty much like 22 minutes of sex with my TV. :mrgreen::lol:

    it was entertaining since there is nothing else on TV at 1am... :lol: (then I got sucked into watching the documentary on the card counters from MIT :oops:)

    I actually saw this guy patrolling in Vegas three or fours ago. He's been featured on many episodes of Cops and the Vegas cop show. I wanted to get his autograph but I was heavily drunk so I really didn't need any police interaction. :lol:
