Woo hoo! My brother and his father-in-law work in the same business. As a reward for great sales, they won trips to Vegas for two! My family has decided to make this into a mini family reunion. Mom and Dad are staying at the Circus Circus RV park in their brand-new Fleetwood and we’ll be crashing there. I’m most excited about seeing my sister-in-law. She’s 5 months pregnant with my parents’ first grandchild (and my first niece or nephew)! Any Dopers in Vegas? We’ll be there February 16-19! * * * Sincerely, Canthearya, _Mearless_ ---

Can’t make it, but here’s a Las Vegas joke: A guy is going to Vegas on vacation. A friend of his gave him $50 and told him to see what he could do with it. After returning from vacation, the friend came up to him and asked, “So, how’d _I_ do?” “Great!” exclaimed the vacationer. “You got laid!” 😃 😃 😃 😃 * * * I looked in the mirror today/My eyes just didn’t seem so bright I’ve lost a few more hairs/I think I’m going bald - Rush ---

I’ll be there someday. Not sure when, But I’ve always said if I ever get married, I’m doing it in Vegas. Guess I should find a guy first. That might help. * * * If your head is wax, don’t walk in the sun. -Benjamin Franklin ---

If I ever get married, I’ll probably do it in Vegas, but that’s because I live here. I’m a craps dealer. I think. It’s getting hard to tell, being as how I’ve been exiled to the blackjack pit. God help me, I’m so freaking bored!!! * * * The trouble with Sir Launcelot is by the time he comes riding up, you’ve already married King Arthur. ---

It’s downtown. The Fremont. Day shift. Most of blackjack games are $5.00. They still let me deal craps about once a week, if I’m very, very good. Usually I’m in dice on Thursdays. Come see me. Try to figure out who I am. You can make a game of it. Hell, take side bets, “Guess which one’s agi.” ---

Come see me on Fremont Street. I’m the guy begging for a cigarette. * * * There’s always another beer.
