Gordon Ramsay should be ashamed

this is why you opt for tea/coffee/water, or if you want something with an ABV, liquor.
everything in vegas is expensive, because idiots will pay anything to do it in a desert full of neon.

 

Lamborghini built tractors before producing cars. I believe both are still being manufactured.

 

They both are definitely being built. The model that Jeremy Clark bought was so modernized with computer chips that he couldn't figure out how to use the various features until his 21-year old neighbor that he hired as his farm manager showed him how.

 

That.

 

Never been to Vegas. If I do I'll just do a brewery run. F**k the casinos. Only gambling I'll be doing is trying new beer.

 

I've never understood Las Vegas. If I want to go to Paris or Venice I'll go to Paris or Venice. Besides, beer is cheaper in Paris and there are nice Belgian cafes that have just about any Trappist beer you'd like (L'Académie de Bière).

 

I'm not sure the idea of Vegas is to be anything like Paris, or Venice, or Monte Carlo for that matter. Pretty sure the idea of Vegas is to capitalize on concupisence. It seems to me that the type of person who would go to France wouldn't be caught dead using Vegas as a cheaper option.

 

Honestly, I kind of side with the wife more than anyone here . . . you're in Vegas already, where "fun" literally means throwing your money away. To complain about overpriced beer is parsimonious at best (that word's for you, @Roguer).

 

Yes, Vegas has changed a lot over the three decades I’ve been visiting (on average 2 one week trips per year), but then again so have I.

I used to gamble and party primarily, but the past several years my trips revolve around:

1. Visiting my brother and his family.
2. Using Vegas as a base to hit National and State Parks in CA, UT, AZ and NV.
3. Vegas Beer Scene - Their brewer and beer scene has much improved over the past several years.

I don’t spend as much time on the Strip as I have in the past.

In terms of general visitation, gambling used to be Vegas’ primary revenue driver (free booze, rooms, entertainment the enticers), but over the past 1-2 decades, revenue has shifted. Vegas now earns a majority of profit on rooms (and absurd resort room fees $50-$60 per night), clubs, entertainment and dining revenue, and most recently as Stephen A. Smith calls it, the “weed-duh”. A large number of visitors don’t gamble much or not at all.

I agree with the sentiment that there are aspects of Vegas that are not attractive/ enticing, some of which I also do not like, and also agree it’s not for everyone.

I like the 24/7 aspect, being a night owl, and having conversations with people from around the world (despite naturally being an introvert), whether at a bar or brewery, or a live low limit sociable poker game, my primary gambling interest at this stage. I was last there two months ago, and will be back, Jack, to “Do It Again” this Fall or Winter.

 

One time in ballys in AC I took a beer out onto the floor. I didn't know this wasn't allowed and didn't want security to take it so I ran outside and drank it on the boardwalk. There was a few patrol cops but I chucked it before they came by. Then I traded a guy a cigarette for his mixtape. I ended up get so drunk that night I barely remember being in the backseat of this hippie chick's car it smelled like cats and piss and I woke up in a chair on my lawn 10 miles away I swear

 

I'd watch that movie.

 

Sounds like the 1st rough draft for the movie The Hangover.

 

Truly did happen. Good memories now. That girls name was Gretchen. I didn't really know her tho Bits and pieces come back

 

I applaud this mornings vocabulary lesson

 

I believe you. It really would make a great set-up for a Richard Linklater movie.

 

The first movie that I thought of was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Maybe because of the Gordon Ramsey - Las Vegas thing?

Cheers!

 

Who the fuck is Gordon Ramsey?

 

A beer judge:

 

And your wallet was...... a.) Missing; b.) In my pocket but lighter than it should have been for what I remember spending; or c.) In my pocket but lighter only because of all the fun?
