>> There is nothing better to remind you of home than sitting next to two chain-smoking horse racing fanatics. Shitfire, these two were something else. They were from Missouri, and they had a love of horse racing that rivaled those in Kentucky. Of course, their love of cigarettes would make any Kentucky tobacco farmer proud. But these two got it done. They were making 7-9 bets on races taking place at 4 different tracks across the country, and they knew what they were doing. The guy was hitting trifectas like I was putting down vodka/tonics; many and often. They gave me a few tips and won me some money while I was watching the hoops, so that was nice. Bonus gambling money and getting to cheer on the ponies always hits a warm spot in my heart.
>> 53 viewings of the Wolverine trailer into my trip, and I got to say I am a tad nervous about the handling of one of my favorite X-Men characters, Gambit. The dude is a cajun card player with exploding playing cards and an electric bo staff. That equals badass in my book. Yet in this movie it looks they have a makeup loving frenchman with perfectly coiffed hair and silk shirts. You already know my opinion on silk shirts. They better not screw this up. Maybe I am looking into it too much. I mean, I have seen the same 4-second clip of him 53 times now ... and counting.>> The Wynn hotel and casino is a massive operation. How massive? We drove by a 6-level, two-square block parking garage. For its employees. We may be in a recession, but the Wynn at least gives its low-paid workers a place to park.
>> Stryker! Emma Frost! Beak! It's Wolverine the movie, coming May 2! I think everyone in Vegas has their tickets already.
>> With Vegas looking for any way to attract tourists to come there and spend money, they have appealed to a new low of retarded, lazy, stupid Americans. Yes, they are renting, renting, those motorized scooters for you to go about your day in the casino. Because apparently walking, elevators, moving walkways and all the casinos virtually connected so you can go from one end of the strip to the other without seeing the sun is too much stress for people. We can't get people united around solving the recession or global warming, but let's spend our time coming up with ways to make us expend even less energy. Brilliant. Thankfully, I was just one of many who called these guys out on their collective douchebaggery. It was fun.
