I met a guy who grew up in Las Vegas and he said he would strike up conversations with random people on a bus to work/school to see how much weridos he meets. I don't remember most of it but one guy told him he drinks blood. Like get some pig blood from a butcher and drink it.

I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
I liked that James Bond movie where an elephant pulled the handle on a slot machine and hit the jackpot and there was a reaction shot of the elephant trumpeting all like "holy poo poo I won!"

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Do slot cars actually take skill or is it just hold the button down. Like do you have to let up on corners

this is a better avatar than what I had before
I stayed at Caesars a while back and it was weird how it was both simultaneously expensive/fancy but also tacky and cheap at the same time

The best way I can describe it is they have a great pool and lovely cabanas but you have to pay to sit in them.

Also I accidentally walked into the end table in my room while blackout drunk and found a bunch of discarded pills underneath it

I just sorta didn't get it, I was there on work and the idea of paying to go there made me feel just gross

I'm not American so what I know about Las Vegas is it's the place everyone goes to just to do horrible poo poo like cheat on your partner, or do drugs and rob someone, or illegal sex poo poo or whatever, plus gambling addicts. Also that apparently everyone in America who isn't a teetotaling fundie loves and is obsessed with it (they go to Salt Lake City instead).

Pieced this together from how you yourselves always present it so if I'm wrong in any way it's because you're all terrible communicators.

Actually everyone goes because of the idea of cheating on your partner, doing drugs, crazy illegal poo poo, etc.

Maybe <1% of people actually do any of that. Vegas priced itself out of the middle class debauchery set a looooooooong time ago

I worked for a cool startup way back when and they took the whole company plus one to Vegas for 3 days which was pretty freaking cool, at the Hard Rock Hotel. And two things happened I'd never expect in Vegas: It snowed. And then at like 4AM Saturday morning, the city lost power, and it was out for a while. Super weird to walk down to the silent, dark casino floor.

That's my Vegas story. Oh, I also was waiting to play poker and absent mindedly played nickel slots and won, like 50 dollars, in nickels. You know how much that weighs? They wouldn't change it to dollars, but did give me a bag. Which I then gave to some guy on the street, I ain't carrying around 50 dollars in nickels!

"Authorities say the phony Pope can be recognized by his high-top sneakers and incredibly foul mouth."

Las Vegas residents have more experience in being morally grey. I rely on that experience when I am trying to play blackjack whilst riding a prostitute that is wearing a saddle while I wear a 10gallon hat and smoke a Cuban cigar. gently caress outta here with this next town over poo poo.

I've never been to Vegas but my friend lived there for 4 years and told me the only good things in the whole city are the Museum of Neon and some big empty lot somewhere that lets you pay $20 to get behind the wheel of a dump truck and do donuts on your lunch break.

Top Cop
I've been to a couple of bachelor party weekends in Vegas; pretty fun. Lots to do; plenty of ways to spend money.

One guy that would be in the wedding party was particularly out of control. It was very similar to the movie The Hangover.

He kept getting lost; as in "where the heck did he go?" We went to a "gentleman's club" (extra costly strip bar) and when we were leaving we couldn't find him. We asked the staff if they'd seen him, if he was in one of the back rooms ("private dancers", basically a lap dance and a handy), and we had no idea where he'd gone. So we figured he gotten a taxi by himself and we left.

The next morning we're at the buffet breakfast and he walks in looking like utter poo poo. Completely disheveled, looking like he slept in a gutter (he had).
"I have no money". This dude had a decent job...
He had spent thousands; and I'm talking something like $10,000, in savings, credit cards, and checking just on a private dancer all night long. Most of us were all, "poo poo dude, I would have given you a handy for $500."

We scraped together a few bucks so he could hang out in the arcade and hotel rooms while the rest of us went gambling. We're sitting at a blackjack table later on and he comes walking in, poo poo-face wasted (we had alcohol and drugs in the hotel rooms) and he has a dog on a leash.

"Holy poo poo dude! Why and where did you get a dog?"
"It was by itself outside, tied to a lamppost... It was lonely..."

"Uuuhhhhh, dude, you stole a dog, and you can't have a dog in a casino..." Sure enough in about 20 seconds an employee is telling us that dogs are not allowed. Another guy and I took him outside and identified the lamp post and tied the dog back to it. I realize it's a lovely way to treat a dog, but wtf were we to do? We told the concierge what had happened and if anyone came asking about their missing dog that it was back where it was left.

Some people have control issues I realize, but this guy was entirely not suited for self restraint in a place like Vegas.

Otherwise it was a really fun weekend!

I've been to Vegas twice in my life, once because my partner wanted to vacation on the strip and once to help my friend clear out his parent's old house

The first time I had two dudes in Master Chief costumes try to take pictures with me against my will and then got upset that I didn't want to give them money. The second time, I moved furniture for three days then had the absolute worst knafeh of my life at some lovely overpriced restaurant

It's an alright place I guess

New Orleans is so much better, and so are the people and the music and the food. Vegas is that desperate uncle constantly cooking up a new scam to pull his life out of a nosedive. New Orleans is that fun high-school buddy who's a happy drunk.

But they hate the tourists because they just show up to piss and jiz and throw up on everything. Don't act like a tourist and you're in for a great time, and you probably won't get stabbed.
