Las Vegas impressions go through periods of "wow, this place is awesome!" and "Wow, this place is skanky!"
Sadly, this is often on the same trip.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm having some tea and getting ready to run some errands. Pet store, library, groceries.

Hunter Thompson once said that if the Nazis had won WWII they would have made Las Vegas the capitol of the United States. I take that as a hint as to which side of the argument he came down on. And he was man with a both a lot of skanky and a lot of awesome.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Huh. My doctor gave me some samples of a prescription anti-inflammatory gel. I was kind of skeptical, since topical pain relievers never did much of anything before, but this stuff seems to actually work, at least a little bit.

Yay for working drugs x2!
I have never been to Vegas. I'm vaguely intrigued by it. Lewis HATES it, but it's because he always has to go for his company's annual manager's conference. He says he's fairly certain he'd have more fun if I was there.
Although the '07 conference was at least made more interesting by the idiots who thought it would be a good idea to skinny dip in one of the fountains at Mandalay Bay. Eleven store managers all fired on the same day-- from the same district no less.

I don't like Vegas at all, but I think it's a ton of fun if you're going to play with friends and see shows and such. I just have zero interest in gambling and get a little twitchy around huge crowds, so...
But I'm always up for meeting friends there. Then it's just a playground.

I think if I had the money for the shows, I'd like going. I'm not a huge gambler, there's no draw there. Like Pix, I'd go if it was with a bunch of friends to just hang out with friends, gawk at the frantic folks heading for the casinos and maybe some shopping.
