Sin City baby … all about the Fairy Tale – Photo by Royal Hopper

True or false ?? No really true or false
No of course not dumbass Las Vegas is a dangerous place dedicated to decadence, wealth and making money for guys named Biff and Little Jimmy and the Proton group. The daisy chain came to the City of Sin once again this .. . . . Ravers from all of North America descended on Sin City..

They danced half naked _ dressed like Indians, Pirates giant anthropomorphic cats and Anime characters named something that doesn’t translate particularly well and people all over the city stopped as the daisy chain was passing by and said .. . . “oh look naked people in costume . . . . again I wonder whats for lunch. . . .”

This city is built on mass produced decadence and illusions of uniqueness hundreds of half naked dancing the stoned night away barely warranted a second look or to paraphrase Anne Rice’s famous vampire hero. .. The City of Sin already fed on the blood of the innocent ..Our precense there barely stirred a whisper. I always loved that line .

When you come to Vegas you will have exactly what you bring with you.. If you are a drunk you will be a drunk surrounded by cheap and plentiful alcohol. If you are a horn dog you will be in a city full of pros and horny cougars with time to waste and your girlfriend or soon to be ex wife will be surrounded by good looking professional liars and pick up artists.

Vegas will not make you badder or better looking and except for a few of the more talented professional gamblers ..it will not make you richer.

If you are constantly battling Mr Ganja I promise you someone in your hotel has a truck load of it. Vegas does not change who you are. Chances are unless you are actually one of those rare talents the casinos are always chasing away if you are broke when you arrive you will be broke when you leave. It doesn’t create the demons inside you but it does often let them out to play.

To the dude walking down the street dressed like Cochise with the X-babe clinging to his arm. “Dude you do know that when she stops tripping and figures out what planet you are on ..shes going to ditch you. You know that right. Is that right ..Is that justice ..Is that the fairy tale you were sold when you booked this vacation..

No..but it is life in the City of Sin
Take care Sinners
Love you all
