    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.

    I love that show!!!! The other night they showed some douchebag that 'fell' off one of the escalators that they have leading to the walkways. Ah gahd!

    That looks really cool actually! My problem is when I'm in Vegas I'm drunk for about 95% of the time....and going on any of those rides drunk would probably not work out well :sick:

    My problem with Vegas is that it is spitting distance from the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, and a whole bunch of cool places. I feel guilty of being inside. They need to move Vegas to the middle of Nebraska.

    When I was a freshman in college I read Fear & Loathing....quickly organized a road trip to Vegas (complete with supplies inspired by the book) and tried to reenact the scene from Circus Circus.
    Holy shit, that was my first trip to Vegas - got kicked out of many of the places (we were 18) but I saw lizard-people and much worse.

    When I'm in Vegas I tend to reenact Nicolas Cage's character in Leaving Las Vegas...except for the hookers. :lol:

    Decided to pull the trigger yesterday and buy a pair of EV tickets for his first night in Vegas...now I just need to buy a flight and hotel room...

    Impulse buys can be so exciting sometimes... :) Now we'll just have to see if I buy night two also or do something touristy instead.

    You have to check out Hovver Dam while you're there. It's quite amazing.

    Yeah, maybe I will...I was in Vegas a few years back for work during March Madness...we were there for the first round and didn't do much except hang around casino lounges betting on NCAA games...oh, and we went to a gun range. I didn't really see that much and didn't really do anything awesome.

    Is it wrong of me that I'm really looking forward to the buffets?

    You got it.

    Another fun thing to do in Vegas I forgot to mention in this thread is negotiating prices with the hookers. I found this quite fun last year when I was there alone. Now I don't actually take them up on their "offers" but I like to see just how cheap I can get them down to. :lol::lol:

    That's the plan. Don't see myself making the drive from Chicago to Las Vegas though. That's a hike, especially alone.
