Thus, considering I have seen no reports of masses of corpses stacked behind Planet Hollywood this past summer, I have to assume you might have misunderstood something when booking your room.

Seriously, even in August we often leave a casino and don’t even turn on the AC in our car for awhile on the ride home, simply to warm up!

I guess that website had it wrong (AAA or Priceline, I don’t remember which). Anyway we wound up at the MGM Grand. We enjoyed your site too, DMark!

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Too funny, that’s exactly what I said to my friends. _insert porno music here_ Boom-chicka-pow-pow!

I’m amazed at the amount of replies and all the good advice. Thanks! I knew I could count on the Dopers. I shouldn’t have lurked for so long and never posted!

To be honest, the local police department wants that slogan changed. It seems people have taken the concept to the extreme (see: OJ Trial) and not exactly “everything” is allowed, even in Vegas. And yes, there are those who come here to go insane and they pretty much succeed.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should put a couple of links to local bail bondsmen on my site…
