This isn't one of those "How do you keep an idiot in suspense" things is it?

I'm no expert on Vegas, I'm more of a Tahoe guy myself. But I don't see how the town can suck when you can go this very night and see Louie Anderson perform at the Excalibur for $55. That's off the hook!

If Louie Anderson ain't your cup of tea you can see Bob Dylan with special guest Merle Haggard at the Aladdin Theater for $125. Holy Christ Merle Haggard! He's off the hook!

I thought Louie Anderson died. Or was it the other fat guy?

He's alive and well, and I'm sure still doing a lot of material dealing with his abusive father. He's like Roseanne with a cock!

Yeah, I was thinking of Sam Kinison (sp?).

Thanks for that lovely image by the way. I have to go do some dry heaving now.

Seriously, you're batting 100% in this thread. I've considered quoting every post in here.

Thanks to an Ex, I lost a house, a car, all of my furniture, and my dog in Las Vegas.

I therefore agree....It can definitely suck.

The house, the furniture, hell, even the car I can understand, but unless that was a barking rat you had, no man should leave his dog behind.

All I can say is, damn.

The only thing I left my ex-girlfriend with is a slap.

I was just there last week, and had a great time. Won $20 playing craps at a cheapy casino ($3 table minimum). Played for almost 2 hours and had 4 drinks, and I was thrilled.

It was her dog originally and became mine through marriage. No way I was winning that one (not that I won anything else, either).

I was raised there for about 19 years, so I can say without a doubt that it does indeed suck.

I've been in Vegas for over three years...place sucks balls. The only redeeeming quality is the 24 hour access to most places.

I spent all of 7 hours there 18 months ago but I did enjoy the place. I'll go back again one day.

Normally I would defend Vegas against people who slam it for whatever reasons. But I do have to agree with you on this. The 24 hour aspect and no last call are really the only things about here that I love. Unless you are a club kid or a gambler, this place really isn't no different then most big cities.

I used to live in Los Angeles, and that is what Vegas is becoming, and fast. 6 people were shot yesterday in a botched robbery of a bird store. A fucking BIRD store. This place is great to visit for a day, but fuck living here.

I was drunk when I posted this and I totally forgot about it.

Anyway...

Altogether, I've lived in Vegas for 13 years. A little over a half a year ago I moved to LA to pursue my career in film. Transfered to a college with a much better film program than most...well at least for me, because I really didn't need to learn alot about film theory since I spent the greater part of my life studying the subject. Anyway, I made some great connections, worked on plenty of projects, was making pretty decent money. Shit was going good, then I hit a little snag in the road. Had a lawsuit with my landlord, charges against her include battery, assualt, fraud, and a bunch of others. She had late rent on me, which she never got because she never had a legal lease agreement in the first place. So I won. But because of this I had to move out of my house. My very cozy and emmaculate house in WEST LA which I was sharing with some (very hot) UCLA girls. And I had just recently began forming a new relationship with a really amazing young lady (who is a politics major and a film student at USC...and 420 friendly...I could go on... ) but between work and school and looking for a new place to live and not having a car for a bit, it was just too much. So I decided to move back to Vegas and live for free for a bit so I can save up enough cash to get my own pad.

Anyway I get back to Vegas and less than two days in I remember all too well why I left in the first place. My family isn't too enthusiastic about me being here (or not being here for that matter, they really don't seem to care a tall). People are fucking lazy here. They have no ambition. No dreams. There's no culture here. No life. This town just sucks you up and spits you out and leaves you broke with no place else to go. It's a truly ugly place to live.

Now I agree with Mattimus and Wee-Bey about the 24 hour aspect...that I love, and I truly had a hard time adjusting from that in LA. But Vegas a big city...hardly. There's a million people here, but there's really not much to do or see here. It's just a bunch of housing developments and strip malls. Although Vegas does have great nightlife, I'll give it that. But the bad far outweighs the good here.

But I geuss it's not such a bad thing that I'm here, because as much as I hate this town it's just more insentive to be more responsible with my money. I'm here until around the end of summer, and then I'm back in LA, right by the beach in Santa Monica. These next few months will surely suck.

No offense, but I think I speak for the majority of us when I say there was only one sentence you wrote above which I sticks out for me.

Good points. When I tell people I live here they think it's all fun and excitement (it can be at times). But pretty much everything you siad is true. Our mayor is a former mafia lawyer. The city council keeps selling land for even MORE housing developments and the main source of water is steadly dropping.

This is a great place to visit, but living here isn't for most people.

Yeah, unless you like gambling (which I don't).

I was driving out of town the other day and noticed they are building way out into the desert right up to the Indian reservation.

Maybe this is me getting old, but I don't get why smoking weed is an great attribute/attraction for a significant other, worth mentioning just below education.

Although I suppose it explains STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT.

It's not even that important to me that she smokes, hell I don't even smoke that much myself. But it's everything that entails with that.

Oh come off it. The Motion Picture is a boring film, First Contact is nothing special, but at the least it's an entertaining film.

True. So many people don't even feel the need to get a college education here because they can just get a job as a dealer/room service/or whatever with good tips. I, for one, plan not to become one of these townies and want to get the hell out of here. Hopefully, and I believe this, I can follow through on my plan. My parents moved out here because of Nellis Air Force Base. After my dad retired, they stayed and got jobs as casino dealers. That hasn't changed for my dad. My mother is now a banquet server at Bellagio. It's good money and all, but fuck if she isn't happy. My dad is a bit more carefree about it, and while he doesn't like his job all that much, he's still pretty happy. My mother sticks out as inspiration for me to get out of here due to the incredibly negative disposition she has.

In other words, I mostly agree. While there are plenty of things out here that I love, (how could I not? I've lived here my whole life) I need to get out before I find myself "sucked up and spat out."

At least you knew what 420 meant. I thought it was an isotope.

Now I really don't get it. If it's not that you like her for tolerating your pot-headed-ness, then what "entails with that"? A certain "moral flexibility"? A political bent? Her ability to finish off the leftovers in your fridge? What?
