Life along the Vegas strip.......is an interesting life.
Have you ever found yourself walking along the Vegas strip at 4am? Probably not the best idea. I recently had my first experience.
Usually, I would find myself in Las Vegas on some random weekend, holiday, or March Madness (weeks of sitting in a sports book for like 10 hours straight staring at college basketball). Anyway, on this occasion, I found myself needing to find a way to my hotel from a casino, after losing money at the poker tables.
During my 'wandering' along the strip, and during my frustration of losing leading to me losing sense of direction, I found myself basically taking a tour of different casinos on both sides of the street. And, uh, let me tell you something....Its a whole new version of a "zombie land" movie going on.
Now, don't get me wrong, I have spent the last 4 years living in Los Angeles, and I've seen a little bit of what goes on in the downtown area, but this had a different feel to it.
One 'experience', was watching as one 'sober' dude works to convince his 'drunk' friend to 'walk away' from the hooker. You see, in Vegas, hookers are like those horny guys at your local nightclub, waiting outside in the parking lot until the club gets out, hoping to hit on some random drunk chick. Only, in this case, the horndog in waiting is expecting cash to bang you.
So, as the 'sober buddy' did his job, I quickly hurried out of there and headed across the bridge from New York New York to MGM. And it was along this bridge that I witnessed another interesting sight. Started out nice enough. A young teenager playing his guitar, as a group of other teens sat in a circle. But, of course, this is Vegas....at 4am....on a weeknight......and those little boys and girls were not passing around candy. They were passing around a 'crack-pipe'. Viva Las Vegas.
Can you get a 'contact high' walking through crack/meth smoke?
I could understand the hookers inside of 7-11 and mcdonalds......because hoes gotta eat.......but the kids and their pipes did kinda throw me for a loop...............whats this world coming to?
