You're going for a week? A week in Vegas for me is 4 days, 3 nights, leaving as early as possible on the 4th day. I tried staying longer than that, and by the 4th full day my body just started to shut down. Again, the guys I went with hit it and hit it HARD, so your mileage will vary. I will second O'Shea's, it's connected to the Flamingo as I recall. Decent cheap games, I kicked the bachelor's ass in a game that resembled Texas Holdem but I was able to play it while pretty well intoxicated. Another one of our party disappeared with 2 cougars, the last communication we had from him was a one word text message 1.5 hours later - Threesome.

If possible, yeah. Not sure if they will let us play if we don't have the required number of girls.

It was probably just Carie.

Time to embrace the

About 1.5 hours, give or take. I will brutally destroy anyone who even so much as snickers. mmmmmm, snickers...

First, a brief caveat emptor: The last 2 times I've been to Vegas were with my NYC friends and family, who all have email addresses ranging from Deutche Bank to Credit Suisse to AIG (we let him have it on the last trip. ) Flights: Not surprisingly, it's much cheaper to fly to Vegas than it is leaving it. SWA is a good place to start, but I'll echo the Kayak and vegas.com searches. Don't freak out on the disparity of coming vs. going. As far as hotels go, I'm a HUGE fan of Mandalay Bay. We tried staying at the Venetian last time and the hotel was a fucking maze. I timed it (because I was late), it took me 15 minutes and 4 different elevators without hyperbole to get from the spa to my room without ever walking outside or out of the hotel. If you aren't a gambler, once you see the standard drink prices in Vegas you'll consider starting. Understand that the machines at the bar fill up quick for a reason, it's for all the other "non-gamblers" that want free drinks too. Getting a steady supply of booze at the penny slots is going to be next to impossible for obvious reasons. Be prepared to stay up. Late. Last time I was there I watched the sun come up from my suite twice. Edit: pumped O2 is a myth. Don't know what it is about Vegas, but be prepared to pull all-nighters. If you want to go to a club, there will be people in the front entrance handing out VIP passes. These passes are generally worthless. Once you get to the club there are usually 3 entrances, the general entrance melee, the VIP entrance melee, and the ubiquitous velvet ropes. If you are seriously considering getting into a club that research shows is hard to get into, consider hiring a VIP host to get in. Understand that in doing so, he (=you) is going to have to grease some people to get in. The more guys in your group (last I went was a bachelor party of 13), the more expensive it is. In all honesty I don't think I ever hit up a show when I was there, so I don't have any experience with it. I'm sure getting in won't be a problem. Cabbies are hired at hotels. Do NOT attempt to hail one from street level. If for whatever reason you want to go to a strip club, have one in mind (ask the hotel concierge, it's his job) for one, and do NOT pay for the cab fare. The cabbies get kickbacks from the strip clubs, and if you ask them which one to go to they will take you to the one that has the biggest kickback. Anything else, ask away. All in all, Vegas is a pretty expensive place but well worthy of the moniker "America's Playground." If you are wanting to party like a rockstar expect to shell out rockstar money. If you have any other questions or want to bounce stuff off me, PM me anytime. Hope you have a blast.

you should stick your hand into a honeybee hive?

then come out tonight!

I promise I'll keep the sexual harassment to a bare minimum, just the basics like "you're up to bat, sugar tits!" Seriously all, it's a lot of fun. Those blessed with boobs should surely participate. Moobs are not invited.

reading through the last 2 pages, this really says it all right here. Between the knee-jerk reaction, your admittance to wanting to engage in frivolous litigation (which IMO if it was anyone else for anything else you and a few others would rail on the legal system and how it's in need of reform), and this paranoid diatribe, I can do nothing but shake my head. It's absolutely none of my business how you raise your daughter, but the fact that I don't have any kids doesn't make your arguments any less paranoid and reactionary.

In the world of the spit wad, the man with the paper football is king.

Goddamnit, I have to leave for QS&L but this is just too good. Then why does she (and you, since you are using her words as your mouthpiece) use a law that is clearly non-universal and only meant for the southern border areas as a generalization for the entire country? I can absolutely tell you that if that law does exist (and based on what I've heard on the southern border issue, it probably does) it is not applied or probably even valid for the northern border area. Ergo, your quote argument as applied is invalid.

Gross Sexual Imposition? Seriously?? Dude, I understand that this idiot was on or near school grounds unannounced and uninvited distributing propaganda to your daughter. I get that. Charging him/her with gross sexual imposition is a incredibly knee-jerk reaction. So you're going to put this person on a sex-offender list for the rest of their life? Charge them with trespassing on school property, loitering, littering, or if you wanted to get technical about it, misdemeanor assault.

I re-read the entire copypasta from Malkin's blog. Dirty feelings aside, there's there's a lot of generalizations going on. Yes, the Mexican government has a problem of their own with illegal immigration at their southern border. I'm not refuting or even debating that fact. However, when you post dumb shit like this, be prepared to be corrected by someone who knows more than you do. I am an outside tourist, and it could be argued that since I am going to work for a registered Mexican company that I am working illegally or without a work visa. I have never been put on any Mexican government database or list, for all intents and purposes I am invisible to them, yet have entered and exited the country at will through multiple modes of transport for the last 4 years.

Had it served to me in China. One of the guys I was traveling with was all about it, and although I didn't wolf down an entire serving I did try it since it was right in front of me and I had no doubts about it being cooked thoroughly. Tasted like dark meat chicken.

Ah, I see the Fox News/con-blog buzz is in full motion. from swingset's quoted troll Malkin: As someone who has walked and drove over the Mexican border as recently as early last year, this is complete bullshit. The Mexican government stops cars at random (and I've been stopped 25% of the time), and even then has NEVER run my passport through a system. Walking across I've only been stopped once in probably 30 crosses from US -> MX, and that was only because there were extra CBP officers interviewing/harassing the MX -> US crossers. The stop lasted all of 90 seconds and ID was never ran. In short, Michelle Malkin is a vapid twit who probably relies on Wikipedia for her fact-checking and sources. Fuck AZ's law, I'll tell you what's patently illegal and unconstitutional: the policies of the CBP. These assholes have a 100mile "Constitution free zone" around the borders of the US. DHS (and all it's subsidiaries) right now can do and search whatever the fuck they want as long as it's within that range. I've been stopped at 3 checkpoints WAY within AZ by CBP for absolutely no reason at all other than I was driving on that road.

I am qualified to answer this question. In a slightly spicy stew with chicken stock, onions, chili spices, carrots, and some other stuff I can't remember. Ask me how I know.

I'll be there, but I'm caging it. Bike's still in pieces from the HID install and emergencies at work.

this is probably one of the worst examples of manufactured outrage I've seen. I suppose he doesn't care about me since I didn't get a shout-out during the Inauguration speech.

take moose with you. the guy can fit a suit, 2 helmets, a gsxr600, tbutera's vmax (at the rate he keeps losing parts), a realdoll (don't ask) and a chipotle burrito in his saddlebags.

el oh to the motherfucking el.

According to the dyno, the power curve tops out at about 12K. If you've truly never been above 6k, I can only imagine the smile on your face as you neared peak HP.
