    What makes Vegas great... Only place in USA with legalized sports betting. I can put up with all the bad, if you give me that.

See so many more poor trashy couples pushing their kids around in strollers at midnight, so many sleeveless, tactless bums sitting in on $25 tables, even in classy upper end strip places and absolutely no manners from the books customers, while watching games. Beggars everywhere, drunks everywhere....There is just no filter on the modern day Vegas degenerate....thats my gripe.

    Any desert community is going to have people like this jj. I lowered my guard and some degenerate stole like 3 bottles of Fiji water when I was cashing out shooting the shit with writer a few nights ago... taught me a lesson though because I usually leave my backpack on my seat with my electronics, iPad, iPhone, etc
    My back was turned maybe 80 seconds. Ticket writers told me brokedikks get caught taking people's half empty drinks all the time.


    That's low as fukk if you have to resort to stealing comped Fiji bottled water. It's the little bottles too. Like 6$ Value at 7-eleven. Smh

    Just watched this and I am in shock frankly. Living in small town Wisconsin most of my life this is sad to me. Ive never been around the drugs, the gangs, the violence etc. Visiting there I would probably be scared shitless honestly. I think ill just stay home.

    I must say though it would be nice to get books working in different locations, so I can travel to spots not as far out of the way as Vegas, with my friends to watch March Madness, etc.
    Just sign up at 5dimes and go to the sports bar and you'll be fine problem solved
