My Trip to Las Vegas!!
Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority
Convention Center
Las Vegas, NV
Dear Jim,
In response to your request on that billboard I saw to tell you how my visit turned out, I was in Vegas on Friday. That stuff I was told about it being "hot, but it's dry heat," is fucking bullshit ... 90 fucking degrees when I got off the plane at 8:30 in the morning out there is too fucking hot. The fucking cab driver didn't speak a lick of English ... he didn't know where "Starbucks, STAR ... bucks" was, but when I said to the other asshole lawyer who flew in with me, "Probably knows where every fucking whore in the city is, though," he said in some kind of weird accent, "You want whore?" This might get a laugh on our website, but it is not a good thing.
Of course, what do you expect for Vegas?
Sincerely,
Bill
Here was my trip to Vegas:
I got up at 3:30 a.m. Eastern Time to let the dogs out; so, I took a shower, let the dogs in and left for the airport at 4:30. I flew to O'Hare, then took Ted's plane to Las Vegas and caught a cab to the law office on 4th Street. I put four witness' testimony on video for a trial coming up. That took from 9:45 a.m. Vegas time to 12:30 p.m., when I tried to catch a cab when it was 109 fucking degrees. I got the 2 p.m. flight to O'Hare, sitting next to a smelly guy, and the flight didn't take off for a while. I hit my head on the overhead thing on the plane, stars, but no blood, trying to get off the plane quickly, and ran through the tunnel with the neon things to catch the 9 p.m. flight that didn't take off on tome anyway and landed at 11:30 p.m. Eastern time.
I did not visit any casinos. I did not bet any money, but I saw some lady plugging a slot machine for almost an hour and not winning anything at the airport. I paid $4.72 for a venti Starbucks mochas in Las Vegas and $4.50 for one at O'Hare. I ate two 1/10th oz. bags of pretzels, one I snuck from the lady sleeping in a seat nect to me.
This is a large part of what I saw in Las Vegas:
you went to vegas... man you do live the life, don't ya.... ;)

I love your drawings. Please post more.
Posted by: Michelle at August 1, 2004 08:34 AMThanks for the drawing. That's pretty much how I remember Las Vegas from the last time I went. Come to think about it, that's about how good a time I had, too.
Posted by: Philip at August 1, 2004 09:45 PMI went to Vegas once and I'll never go again. You summed up my thoughts on it with the exception of one thing: the sun was MUCH larger in my mental picture.
Oh...one last thing. You totally said 'STAR ...bucks' like Stacey would have said it if she had written the post. That cracked me up.
