kitten Posted September 18, 2003 Posted September 18, 2003 I am off to the town of hell & sin for the weekend. Wishing all of you a good weekend with nice weather. I will be working on my tan lines by the pool side while sippin' something cold. I really don't like Vegas - how about you??? Quote
Winter Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Vegas sucks. Red Rocks kicks ass. Fuck tanning and climb . Quote
lummox Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 vegas is superfun if you got a lot of money. but even just layin out by the pool at one a the big casinos is interesting. i spent an afternoon at the rio playing the realorplastictits guessing game. and if you want to know a secret: climbs in the shade are very nice.

Jason_Martin Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 I just got back down to the beautiful southwest today. I personally believe that Red Rock -- just outside of Vegas -- has some of the best moderate multi-pitch routes in America. And it can't be beat for winter fun in the sun! Vegas itself is excellent too. Cheap buffetts, show girls, free shows, 99 cent margaritas, free drinks while playing nickle slots, and climbing everywhere! It really can't be beat... Jason Quote

kitten Posted September 22, 2003 Author Posted September 22, 2003 I got back last night! Had a great time watching the cousin get married in a cheesy chapel. The party Friday night was full of : I am sorry to say that I wasn't in town long enough to climb at Red Rocks. I did find a new meaning to Vegas and realized it wasn't SO bad. Cheap drinks, great night clubs that stay open until 5AM or longer , tons of eye candy, warm weather, and lots of crap to see or do. Quote
Jim Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 I was just down there a couple weeks ago for some field work, but did manage to climb one day at RR. Maybe it was spending so much time in the desert quiet but I thought LV was a grim place. Seemed to be a collection of everything I don't like including lots of fat people, smokers, noise, garrish advertising with lights. Seemed like a big frikking shopping mall for adults with an emphasis on gambling, over-eating, and over-drinking, and bad entertainment. We went into town for the hotel only and then decided to sleep under the stars at the field site after a few days of the glitz. Yuk! Quote

Yuk! aint you just a ray of sunshine. elitist smug mother fucker. vegas actually provides a window into your own soul. apparently yours is black and rotted. Quote
Jim Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Don't get your shorts all twisted now. If the place floats your boat then have at it. I thought is was gross. Quote

Yuk! i understand completely. i find the place depressing (same w/ reno btw). hitting the cheap buffets is all that i do there. too bad red rocks is right next to it. Quote
lummox Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 whoa. j-b and Jim. you guys are some complaining mother fuckers. who the fuck cares if you dont like las vegas? Quote
vegetablebelay Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Anti-everything. Negativity everywhere. Sad, sad, lives.... Quote
Jim Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Did like the desert field work and some of the locals we ran into way out in the hinterlands. Real old timer desert rats with a great knowledge of the place. RR was fun but had to find the shady areas. If you like the cite of LV though, well I don't give a rip. About as interesting as Alderwood Mall for me. Quote
Dru Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 I like Vegas when I'm winning, otherwise I hate the place. I just wish they didn't keep moving it closer to the mountains when I'm not looking. I mean, the next time I head down there will be no doubt a casino on the 5th belay of Epinephrine, and gated condomundo in the headwaters of Oak Creek. Quote
JayB Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 I can only handle about 1 day of Vegas at a time. The entire place reminds me of a combination of the movie "Soilent Green" with a B.F. Skinner experiment. Red Rocks and Mt. Charleston are cool though, and the cheap buffets are also a plus. Quote

Dru Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 I don't like the way you are calling this city "Baby Vegas" in such a derogatory manner. This phrase should be thrown on the scrap heap along with Baby Jesus and Baby Orca! Quote
allthumbs Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Baby Vegas is apropos, Wankstainberg. Quote
