Things I learned on vacation..

[nopoop]

That 85% of the tourist population on the strip in Las Vegas are overweight women 30 or older, and are attired exclusively in bermuda shorts..

Guys that drive REALLY expensive cars have REALLY good haircuts..

If, inroute you happen upon a Sizzler and care to partake in a meal with some butt kickin Sizzler toast, the guy in front of you will ask HOW much his beer of choice costs before he makes the decision..

Followed by much deliberating in regards to the cost versus the "need" for his particular beer of choice.

...at a Sizzler..

If your at the Casino and step up to the bar for a cheap beer and buy a roll of quarters, IT'S FREE !!!

75 rolls of quarters is heavy..

In conclusion I discovered that when I "neatened" up before I left the room to face the onslaught of the bermuda crowd that cheap beer poured into a tourlet looks vaguely familier..

I found, in the end, much more efficient to buy them unopened, take them to my room and pour them down to eliminate the digestion processes..

I'm working on the "weight" problem with the quarters..

Don't take all 75 rolls all at the same time.

I take offense to this Bermuda crowd talk.

Don't blame us here for your overweight tourists flooding in on cruise ships and buying a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt.  They disgust us as much as you, clearly.

Plus, I doubt they are authentic Bermuda shorts...the type of tourist you describe usually go for the cheap polyester knock-offfs.  You can tell by the "swishing" sound as they walk.

nopoop ...

Spent the first 2 days of my vacation there too.

You have described it to a tee, but I am surprised you didnt notice the other affliction, beside the shorts thing, that most other people in Las Vegas suffer from.

I called it ...

"Walking-around-with-your-head-up-your-ass" disease.

The first day we were there, we were constantly avoiding people who walk around in a trance like state and bump into you and then continue on their way without say they are sorry or excuse me. Well, I started to anticipate their moves and counter with moves to avoid the collision-HO and that worked fine.

The second day, my wife and I are walking hand and hand (I know .. how cute) when some guy wants to walk between us. When I wouldn't let go (wife had no choice) and allow passage he got all huffy and stomped away. That was all I needed ... from that point on, I vowed NOT to avoid any and all collisions-HOs.

Well, by the end of the day I won all (multiple) encounters and two guys ended up on the casino carpet with a very dry ... "OH !!! Excuse me ... you must be suffering from the Walking-around-with-your-head-up-your-ass disease". The wife was a little embarrased but I was having a blast.

I did see the "Blue Man Group" at the Luxor which was outstanding, but beside that ...

Las Vegas ... been there, done that, didn't care to buy the tee shirt.
