Oh yeah, I'm sure this has everything in the world to do with "getting some things stimulated!" and little to do with legitimate uses of county funds when a so-called budget shortfall is in effect. There are tons of interesting and one-of-kind non-sexual places in the commercial center as Mr. Cook correctly points out...it's the last of an era and the best of a strange mentality that sets itself apart...nary a starbucks, blockbuster video, or pay day loan place in sight. Long live the Commerical Center...down with more high rise, time share blight.

No death penalty for juveniles...sorry nkls. You'd have to go to Iran to find that...

Las Vegas has always been a city where better experiences are to be had if you spread the money around or if you are a high roller who spreads the money around out at the tables. Otherwise, you are just part of the masses who covet the treatment that everyone gets. See, that's the idea behind exclusive things whther they be Sinatra shows back in the day or these lame, uninspired nightclubs in the present...there's only a limited number of people who can be treated like VIPS. Was it worth 200 dollars a head? Hard to say...but they did get to sit down (most people in the club by design don't) and they admit the girls who this club is geared to had a good time. Not everyone gets bottle service and if you wait in line long enough you eventually get in. If pappa doesn't want to be a big spender, yet still wants to have his daughter treated well, they coulda gone to Olive Garden or any casino lounge. Instead they decided on one of the hottest nightclubs in town. Clearly this guy did not do his research. Was the revelation that a bottle of alcohol will be marked up to more than 10X its normal cost not enough of a red flag? And he admits he didn't want to 'wait in line.' Why? Because he wanted to be treated differently than the masses and then he quickly figured out that since he wasnt a hot girl or a famous person (or someone whose personality was compelling) that the easiest way to that was to flash cash...and now he's complaining that it worked? Also, shame on this whole group of people for perpetuating the myth that the nightclub scene in Las Vegas is either fun or for everyone. I'm sure part of the real complaint is he didn't get it..."why is everyone here" he must have asked himself. And he's right...why would anyone in their right mind go to a cramped nightclub with lame thunka thunka bass pounding into your skull, idiots screaming and acting like randy mice on illicit substances, all while spending a small fortune for drinks? Why? Because it's cool and will remain so as long as people think it is. So this local who is acting like a tourist should have given his daughter the thousand he intended on spending and told them to have fun...they would have without his whining bringing everyone down.
