Just wanted to share something I heard the other day that had me both laughing and scratching my head (yes I am fully capable of doing both at the same time while walking). If you don't already know I reside in Las Vegas Nevada and next to CSI we are quite well known for gambling. I happened to pass by couple sitting at a slot machine when one of them quite angrily and loudly asked of no one in particular "what sort of odds is this, how do you only win twenty bucks after dropping $180".
I don't know if she happened to look out the window or not (that part of the airport has a nice view of the southern end of the strip btw) but all them fancy casino's weren't built by just handing out money. Last time I checked there was a reason why casino's do not have windows and why alcohol flows so easily when getting all googly eyed while sitting and staring at all them flashing lights and spinning reels. If I am mistaken I want to know why I didn't get that memo.
Maybe she just needs to learn how Vegas came to be what it is, that or a good kick in the seat of her pants to bring her back to reality.

What happens in Vegas sometimes actually stays in Vegas...
Well for my first posting on here just going to share an occurance at the Vegas airport. First off I do work there, not going reveal what I do or where at the airport but some tales from there will probably reveal for whom I am groveling for my next paycheck from. If you happen to work there you may also realize who I am from some of the tales from there, I just ask you keep my identity to yourself.
Well just as the whole advertisement cliche goes for Las Vegas "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" is sometimes true. Last night witnessed a couple being processed through the security checkpoint however the lady companion apparently had quite a good time here, however doubtful judging from her state that she will remember it, so much so that she was unable to walk nor stand even with assistance from her companion. After sitting her on the floor so he could get their items together was when gravity took advantage of her condition and she came face to face with it. Now if you have traveled through the McCarran airport you know the carpet here is NOT the ideal place to do a face plant. Probably a good thing as well that she will not remember this to realize the carpet like texture your mouth seems to resemble the day after is not a coincidence in her case.
Soon after dive #1 is when Las Vegas Metro Police showed up to try provide assistance, she managed to regain some composure and appeared to give the usual "I mrot runk, ooh-nee add ooh reenks" (not a direct quote as was not in ear shot, but that is every ones claim when leaving Vegas somewhat sideways), and then while attempting to put on her shoes (once she located them that is) gravity then figured that she should meet the property table, so she kissed it. Soon after (after attracting the attention of more Las Vegas Metro Officers) her companion seemed to have had enough and left (I will give him credit for getting her that far in her condition) she on the other hand now gets to spend another night in Las Vegas albeit not in a fancy strip casino.
So somethings do stay in Vegas... Just not how she intended.
