And another!

Let me guess. The confused, inchoate ramblings of a fevered brain? No, I'm just kidding.

Spoiler

Actually, the clues are in your first sentence: "rock" and "Vegas."

Yet another! (in the 'spoiler')
I had to look up inchoate. If my thinking wasn't so inchoate, I wouldn't have needed to.

You, of course. You and your wife went to Las Vegas, hit a show of some yesteryear entertainers at a hotel. You had an argument, she split. You ended up chasing around after a large, reptilian-looking older gal, and now you find out that she's a vegan to boot.

Sad, get grip, eat a steak and go back home and apologize to your wife for your remarks at the show. Also, this is the wrong forum for this kind of stuff.

Honorable mention: Great answer.

Celine, sure, but I'll pass on the others.
Bonus:

Never known any
Extra:
That you can say If you have been to Las Vegas yourself, what didja do there or,

If not, what wouldja do there?
Never been to Vegas, but when I was 5 or 6 I did go to nearby Reno, NV. The hotel did have some things for me to do at suck a young age, it was certainly a fun trip.

Although I don't remember, my mother said that one time a staff member had to get my mother to get me away from a slot machine, as if I seriously would have been playing a machine at that age!
Plus:
Do you know who Mark Addy is?
If so, can you name anything he's been in?
Never heard of him.
Also:
Which type dinosaur(s) would you like to keep as a pet?
I don't think any would make great pets. The yard is too small, and trying to prevent him from making a snack out of the dog (or me! ) seems like too much work.
The Flintstones (Fred and Wilma) have asked you to watch Dino for them while they go on vacation. You in?
I'll pass.
Foodie Qs:
You're gonna need a bigger bowl! What do you have around the house to feed a pet dinosaur? (hint, he's a vegetarian)
We have a cantaloupe and watermelon around for it.
Flintstone cereal: Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Pebbles?
Neither

My ISP finally came back this morning. Rainstorms, which are preferable to the internet out here, always makes our internet go down.

-Cirque du Soleil?

If so, did it last? My oldest brother married his first wife there. No, it didn't last although I think it had nothing to do with the Las Vegas marriage.

Extra:
That you can say If you have been to Las Vegas yourself, what didja do there or,

If not, what wouldja do there? In Nevada, I've only been to Reno and that was for a meeting. Don't recall what the meeting was about but I remember slot machines at the airport and hotel.

Plus:
Do you know who Mark Addy is? I didn't until I looked him up.
If so, can you name anything he's been in? Not fair for me to answer that after I just read about him. No movies I've seen.

Also:
Which type dinosaur(s) would you like to keep as a pet? Tyranosaurus rex for coyotes.

The Flintstones (Fred and Wilma) have asked you to watch Dino for them while they go on vacation. You in? Sure as long as he slept outside.

Foodie Qs:
You're gonna need a bigger bowl! What do you have around the house to feed a pet dinosaur? (hint, he's a vegetarian) I built a large auto-feeder for my dinosaur-sized Great Pyrenees, or he could just eat from the cattle tank.

Flintstone cereal: Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Pebbles?

Last one:
What, if anything, do you think ties these questions together? Didn't the Flintstones visit Las Vegas in one of the movies?
