Las Vegas, Anyone?
The Old Lady and I are gonna make our first trip to Las Vegas in a little over a month, flying out to see The Sisters of Mercy at the House of Blues on February 16th (damn band JUST scheduled a S.F. date - oh well, gotta go to that one, t00).
So - anyone got any Vegas suggestions? Things to do? Things to avoid?
We're probably gonna take in a Cirque du Soleil show on Friday night, with The Sisters' gig the night before. Past that, we're in the dark completely. We could especially use restaurant suggestions. Been to a decent strip club? Cool! Which one?
There's so much shit to do out there and we only have a few days to do it in, so any enlightened comments would be oh-so-welcome.

Of all the places I've been, I've never been to Vegas so can't help you there.
You know, I hear the Celine Dion show is pretty good.
(Heh heh heh)
It's worth going to the Venetian and taking a gondola ride.
You have to go to "scary Vegas" one night. It's the old Vegas part of town.
Ride the roller coaster on top of the spire, at night.
When i was there I completed a photoessay of my middle finger in front of each of the major fountains along the strip, on behalf of the Colorado River.
It was 115 degrees out. You could watch the water evaporating by the gallon.
Avoid the mall at Ceasar's palace. Meh.
Do tour the Venetian.
Do enjoy nickel slots at the Frontier.
Do go atop the Straosphere.
Do marvel at the naked girl bronzed statues at the Riviera.
I like th photo essay topic. I want to moon every casino with a water fountain and shit on every golf course. And the way I tend to shit, those golfers are in for it. Speaking of shitting, I gotta go.
*Toilet at work screams in pain*
The Sisters of Mercy are playing Vegas? That's weirdly appropriate.
Maybe Specimen and Alien Sex Fiend will open up for them.
How long before bands like Crash Worship and Rockbitch end up there.
have mercy, chuckles...
shingles, the warlocks are opening. i've only heard of 'em, not heard 'em. but yeah, it is appropriate in a weird way...
Truth be told, I still have a whole batch of the Sisters of Mercy 12"ers and EP's from the '80's.
so do i, shingles. that early shit is truly ace - body and soul ep, reptile house, alice...
when i got my first tattoo i was THIS CLOSE to it being the merciful release logo. i'm glad i got my own design but i'll tell you now: if i had gotten that sisters logo i wouldn't regret it one bit.
A tat, Pop?! Has AG given you nothing? Honey, we cannot marry and run off together. You cannot get buried in the cemetary now.
Temple of Love 12", Temple of Love 12"!!
The one that just kept on going on and on and on...I loved it! Used to drink and smoke and prance around the 'rents house w/my pals.
And then we'd play it again.
...maybe "prance" is the wrong word.
Ag is all about inflicting her religion on all of her blog crushes. What the hell is wrong with her?
OPPRESSOR!
Pretend to be dead and see if Marg Helgenberger comes to see you with latex gloves on.
we found a few veggie places, and thai restaurants always have the veggie dishes, so we should be pretty cool on that respect.
we don't mind dropping some cash for cool things, we just don't wanna get suckered into some lame touristy thing.
we're definitely gonna gamble so if anyone has a preferred casino, let us know.
Oh, pinko, what a heartwarming story.
You won't catch me dead in Vegas. Marg Helgenberger and all, dontcha know...
You and the wife should totally get re-married at some drive-in chapel place.
And Chuckie, fuck off! Jesus is NOT magic.
Chuckie--I still love you in a sick and twisted blogger way.
Pinko, that was YOU guys?!
we were looking into something classically cheesy last night, like an elvis impersonator or a boobie dance review. we have friday and saturday wide open for pure debauchery.
ag, we were thinking of renewing our vows with elvis. it's been a whole 3 months since we got married.
you won't catch teh dead in vegas because they won't let him back in the city. he's stuck with reno and the octegenarians.
and pinko - why do i feel that you have one of these stories for every major city visited?
Screw that, it's all about cheap cigarettes in Boomtown.
