Rip in Vegas?

I just listened to the radio interview on Iron Radio. Were you only at Nellis? When are you coming back? How about a cert? I've lived here 35 years & would be honored to give you the tour next time.

Since I hate Las Vegas, I maintained low profile for the entire trip. I just get sick of seeing 60-year-old people smoking and playing slot machines, and I do not need to be entertained by famous people, so the place has little attraction for me. I will be back at the first of the year for a weekend, no time to fiddle-faddle however. But thanks for the offer.

Good points.

Having grown up here, I tend to forget about that stereotypical shit. The last time I went to a show, it was for my grandmother's 85th birthday. Most people who have lived here a while(except, of course, the blue haired Kool smokers who live for the nickel slots and buffets) avoid the hotel/casinos at all cost.

I should have been more specific. My tour would include where to get a killer breakfast on a plate the size of a trashcan lid, where to get a great steak up to 96 ounces, where to get a Johnny Blue or Cask-Strength Macallan gratis(OK, that's my living room), where to see a shitload of endangered bighorn sheep.....

Also, depending on what part of town you'll be working in, there are places to stay that are much less annoying than the casinos.

If you just have time for a beer, I'm buying.

In that case, I'll look you up next time.
