Thank goodness! Oh please, oh please don't let MGM Mirage & Light Group f**k it up! Vegas needs the jobs, and we SO need the tourists to come back.

Haze Nightclub, Duece lounge and Liquid.

At least a bunch of implanted blonds and sixpack ab guys will be off the unemployment lines.

Liquid is going to be topless. Will keep Metro a little busier.

I guess its better than no jobs.

Rejco100 is correct. I have had six-pack abs once in my life; while taking the adrenal steroid/prohormone DHEA. Rips the fat right off!

You can obtain them through training, without steroids, however it is very difficult and stressful. You cannot eat one junk meal. You'll be starting all over.
