Everything is bigger in Las Vegas
Category: vacation

We went to this pancake house that had redic size pancakes. Everything is so over the top in vegas.

I think the most outrageous moment was walking down the strip, watching a country singer singing, "I am proud to be an American" on a stage while mexiskins handed me those porn cards to order prostitutes, all in an outdoor air conditioned area in 100+ degree weather and while drinking margaritta from a glass bottle in public.

Who air-conditions outside? Imagine if the casinos in Niagara Falls had outdoor heating in the winter.

Those cards surprised me.

It was also wierd riding an elevator with a prostitute. At least, I think she was. It didn't seem appropriate to ask (especially since I wasn't buying)

When I went to Vegas I started collecting those cards they were giving me. At one point I started handing them out myself to the tourists.

My favorite view of David

I really love Caesar's palace. I felt the same way all the other times I was in vegas. If I come back, I want to stay here.

I thought ivory was illegal
Category: animals

Butt they sell it at the venetian in Las Vegas. Small peices the size
of a golf ball cost more than $1,000 and the big ones are like $50,000
to $100,000 -so I guess they are real.

I think they process it from dead elephants. And of course there is a huge customs stash of it everywhere in the world, so I think governments make money off confiscated ivory by auctioning them to art houses which in turn sell them to artists.
