but yeah, man I've been to Vegas more times than I care to admit.

I don't even like to gamble. I don't like shows, or fancy clubs either. I mostly just like my friends who like Vegas...plus no open container laws.

in hindsight, the coolest memories mostly include the outdoor excursions around Vegas. (red rock canyon is cool too)

two ways to drink in Vegas:

1. find a video poker machine at a bar, put in $10, and poke around on the thing pretending to gamble. The bartender will serve your complimentary beverage soon, at which point you can then cash out.

2. bring a case of natty lites down to the strip and set up shop. It's at least good people watching.

I don’t ever get on the strip, but also have never found what I would consider a good restaurant in Vegas

As far as buffets go, and you need to lower your expectations for buffets, the Bellagio's was the best buffet i've ever eaten at.

Subway in O’Sheas. I’m smiling and throwing up in my mouth just thinking about what I remember of those times.

Still positive memories though, other than the details, right?

Oh amazing. I've done most kinds of Vegas trips, and by FAR the best were the first few, when none of us had any money and everything about Vegas felt like breaking the rules.

The last time I was in LV was 1981, driving cross country. I stayed at Circus Circus for one night, for $15.95, and hit a $625 jackpot on a royal flush on a 5 card draw slot.
