    Gambling is one of the few vices l never got much in to, so Vegas isn’t really a top destination for me and l’ve never been.

    I do like shows though and wining and dining is certainly fun, so maybe at some point l’ll pay a visit. I know they have world class entertainment there. The B-52s are doing a residency there at the Venetian at some point. They are on my bucket list, but why anyone would name their establishment after blinds is a weird one to me.

    Well, when we were there, it was a lot of years ago. They had an M&M 3-D movie, Stayed at Treasure Island, watched the pirate ship show - it may not be there anymore. Stayed at Excalibur once - saw that show.

    about crime: (just be careful out there) Have fun !

    yeah, I saw where cleveland is one of America's most dangerous cities. Didn't surprise me. It was 7th on the list I saw.

    I was making a point that Vegas can have problems, but they have worked on them bigtime.

    Cleveland - nope.

    All the trouble and violence has mostly been in Blue Cities... I'll expound on this in the proper Forum...

    Just stick to the strip, not the ends or off strip and you will be fine.  Obviously if you are out late and not many people are around that could be a different story.

    Take a cab at night if you are venturing far from your hotel.  I just stick to my hotel after dark.  All offer security and all have fine casinos and fine restaurants.  I like staying at Paris or Ballys.  The two are connected so you never really have any reason to venture outside.  Paris has a few excellent restaurants and a A+ buffet, especially the breakfast buffet.

    Paris is located central strip, so if you do walk you are kind of in the middle of things.  We also like Bellagio, which is across the street from Paris.  Paris is less expensive, so we stay there when we plan on hitting some of the expensive touring acts and Bellagio when it is just for casino action and restaurant dining.

    I have never been afraid to go anywhere in my life... I've been in black night clubs where I was the only white dude in the building and felt completely safe... I've been in the roughest of neighborhoods... I got shot at.. Held at knife point more than once and lived to tell about it... I was never afraid to go anywhere... But now a days being older.. I have no desire to see these places.. I've lived it... I've done it... I'm just looking to enjoy what remains left of my life in peace and see some of the world before God calls... I consider myself lucky and very blessed to have the experiences in life I've had.. I have great family and friends who have always had my back... I can't ask for too much more than that... Considering all the handicaps and difficulties I've had in life... I have no buyers remorse for anything...

God you better pray whatever offspring you have or will have are born healthy....  But I should expect nothing less from an ass hat liberal demoquack who stalks people.. That's some sick shit right there... You aren't even close to normal by any sense of the definition... Typical intolerant leftist asshole...

    Typical right-wing moron who pretends to be a tough guy but is a pansy who plays the victim any chance he can. 

    We are all well aware of your mental handicaps.

    hey now, that isn't fair. It's going out at night alone with your family - that makes it different. I would go to Vegas just fine - situational awareness.
