Viva Las Vegas! Have you ever been there? Which hotel did you stay at? Did you go to any shows? How much money did you lose? How much drugs and booze did you take?









Please share your thoughts and experiences of Las Vegas, Nevada and perhaps some advice for people who have never been before!

I went there about this time last year- taking a cross-country trip with some visitors from a nordic country. It was pretty fun. We stayed almost for free at the Silver Sevens, and didn't gamble much. We did have a $2 iced tea at a McDonalds there, though.

I go about once a year. There a LV thread in the travel forum. I like Aria/CityCenter a lot.

I gamble downtown mostly.

I like the Absinthe show.

They have good food.

My grandparents go because they are culture-less animals. I've never been because it seems like the exact kind of place that would piss me off.

There's something for everyone really. When I'm not on a biz trip my wife and I use it as s jumping off point to see some dope poo poo like the grand canyon, Hoover dam, etc.

We East coasters so maybe not that novel if you live in AZ or something.

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I'm just the devil with love to spare

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
i went to defcon this year. I stayed in a nice little best western right over by the in-n-out. Vegas is a loving abject shithole and all that 'monument to man's hubris' is completely factual and the city needs to be glassed. books could be written on the sidewalks on the Strip

it was 95f at 730 AM, and i had to step over a passed out guy on the one sidewalk to get on the strip. then i walked thru some hotel.
also in out is an 8 on the drunkburger scale and a 4.5 on the Scale Of All Burgers. sorry. shakes are good tho

Last time I was in Vegas I stayed at Circus Circus and won $10,000 from the first slot machine I put coins into literally no more than ten minutes after I walked into the casino. It was a machine in a pretty sad bank of like eight Elvis slot machines where if you got three Elvises on the dials it'd do a spin on a wheel up above where each space had one of his big songs, and when it landed on one it'd play a little bit of the song and give you a payout. One of the spots was the jackpot where it'd play all the clips (that felt like it took twenty loving minutes) and you'd win ten grand.

Nobody was playing those slots when I sat down but by the time my jackpot finished playing and they came over to pay me out, all the machines were packed because I guess everyone thought they were lucky. Casino dwellers are superstitious beasts.

I ended up setting most of the money aside, spent a bit of it on further gambling, a bit of it on prostitutes, and had a pretty good time overall.
