Las Vegas GTG 2011

richlevy · 02-10-2010, 03:06 PM

Is anyone up for a GTG in Las Vegas? If my family stays at the Flamingo, we have access to the 2nd best pool in Vegas. The Flamingo Hilton timeshare has BBQ grills, so we can host a small BBQ.

I haven't gone to a pool in 50 pounds.

I was actually thinking of going to Vegas for a few days sometime this spring.

Vegas has turned into a friggin cesspool. As long as you stay inside the casino you are cocooned. We went in July of last year and I could not believe how dirty it down among the casinos. A bunch of unfinished buildings due to the crash of the economy, people handing out porn cards every 10 feet to anyone who passes, including kids and families, and twice as many of those cards strewn about the sidewalks under continual states of repair and disprair... uggg, just plain nasty.

Perhaps we should have a cellar community service project and clean up Vegas?

TheMercenary · 02-10-2010, 09:27 PM

It would take years. I really think if they could just control the people passing out the porn on the sidewalks it would do wonders. Don't get me wrong, I am not against porn, but the way it is handed out in front of kids and families is screwed up. We did see some really nice parts of LV but you had to leave the strip and move to the outskirts. Why the hell they ever let them build up that place in the middle of a desert...

Vegas is not for kids and families.

Never underestimate the Power of the Cellar!

Or come to Reno. Then you could also visit Lake Tahoe. Great place for a BBQ.

Tahoe is beautiful.

I like this. It has a nice ring to it.

I'm going to steal it for my signature....but I'm going to change the word Vegas to Eggs. That way you can't sue me.

Mum was really put out about those porn cards. Asking her to litter would be like asking her to wet her pants - it's simply not done. So any they were handed she thrust into her bag. She could usually avoid them, but Dad was too slow on the update (so he says

She was then faced with the dilemma of what to do with them - she couldn't take them back and dispose of them in the hotel, the staff would think she'd been collecting them and using them! Yes, we know the staff wouldn't give a toss, but Mum is hyper sensitive to other people's opinions.

So she spend quite a bit of time looking for rubbish bins on the Strip!

I can't stretch the finances to make your GTG, Rich. But you are welcome to ours in Glasgow if you have more flexible finances. No pool, no BBQ and no tanning opportunities. But John Barrowman, Russian food and good company. And you can bring your own porn if you like.
