Sure, it's legal...but it is NOT legal in Clark County to pay them for their "services."

My wife and I sometimes do a "Strip Hike" to get our exercise and take a closer look at new stuff. I waved one of those guys off one time, so he pushed that crap into my wife's hands. I went back and threw it in his face and he fell over backwards with a shocked look on his face. He got up and in Spanish said to his buddies, "What the fu** is wrong with that guy?" So I guess he didn't get my intention. He's probably still there.

Craziest thing I saw there was the Pimp N' Ho ball at The Orleans. The lack of clothing on some of the Ho's walking around the casino ALL NIGHT was truly amazing!

Was this the reception???

nah...two separate trips. We were stying at The Orleans and didn't even know it was scheduled 'til we got there. I was so mad because I left my pimp suit at home...cane cane and all. My wife also left her stuff at home...but she could have just stripped down to bra & panties (actaully she would have needed a thong to be in fashion)...and it would have flew...the outfits were that skimpy...and some even less! I recommend this to all people watchers.

When Lefty Rosenthal's car blew up, I was in an office two blocks away. By the time I got to the parking lot between Marie Callender's and Tony Roma's he was staggering around, and the EMTs were trying to put him on the gurney. He had been hit by flying glass and had little cuts all over his face. One of our news videographers was there and told me Lefty wasn't in the car. He had the good habit of reaching in through the window and starting it before he got in since he knew his days at the Stardust were numbered. Those boys don't hand out pink slips...they put out a hit.

I believe the saying goes, if you have all the money in the world, who then truley makes the laws? Sadly, I'm sure everything is legal if you have money but what is more evident is a society that accepts that and it couldn't be more present than in Vegas. In a way I'm glad there is a Vegas and that there's only one Vegas.

Interesting about the illegals in the street. YES, actually they are the #1 reason I also hate walking down the Strip. I hate getting those things flung in my face. Is that really true the ACLU defends that, or is that just a rumour?

-----------

Craziest things I've seen:

My first time in Vegas...I went into a 7-11 to get money from an ATM Machine. As I was taking the money out, the 7-11 cashier got robbed. The police came quickly thereafter, but the robber was still sitting in his car unable to get it started. A dialog went back and forth: Did you rob the 7-11? 'No' he insisted over and over.

Another similar one. Went to a mall and as I was walking by an exit/entrance, some guy ran into the store, grabbed as many pairs of jeans he could get, and ran back outside of the store, jumped in a truck and it sped away. People around us were like 'HUH? Was that what I thought it was?'

There are others as well, but they came to the forefront of mind fairly quickly.

Actually, there are three Las Vegases. Or would that be Las Vegai? There's one in New Mexico, and one in Arizona. Of course, they're nothing like the City of Lost Wages.

When we were in our 2nd month here, we went to the strip to ride the Duece. We were in and out of casinos all day just takin in all of the glammer and glitz. On our last boarding we sat up top right up front. The bus was caught at a stop light when 1 of our local finest sounded his siren and took after some fella who had just turned left across our view. Now this motorcycle police officer was really getting after this guy you see. Cause he musta been doin something truly bad like, cause that officer was bookin it.

So the varment in this little Toyoat stopped real quick like in his tracks cause the law was after somebody and he wanted to get out of his way. So then the darndest thing happened.

This officer ever so slowly ran into the rear end of the fella's Toyota and fell over on his side cycle and all just like the old man used to do on his tricycle on Laugh-in.

The officer weren't hurt none, cept his pride maybe. Well everyone on that bus musta been lookin at the area where the siren was coming from cause they all started laughin and even applaudin like maybe they wish they coulda stopped for an officer like that some time.
