just a little insight courtesy of the raptor:

If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.
and none of it will help the American economy.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes, weed, beer, and tattoos, since these are the only products still produced in the USA.
Thank you for your help & please support the US.


i strongly agree!
RAPTOR IS AWESOME!

I have been to Vegas like 5 times in the past four years and am burned out on it. I don't really gamble but the cheapie places to gamble on the strip are all gone except for slots -o-fun down by Circus Circus. The shows have gotten to be ridiculously priced, meals are all going the way of $100 for two and hotels are getting more opulent but expensive.

I liked it when it was a fun tacky getaway for the weekend for about $400. Now it is an expensive tacky getaway for maybe a grand for the weekend. I'd rather do a week at a delux hotel in Mexico for $1000 than a weekend in Vegas for $1000.

Now the only interest in going to Vegas is if I go with a big group that wants to party it up. Otherwise, overpriced and overrated.

You don't use your 300 dollars to gamble, you use it to support single moms.

Downtown gives me the willies. Last time I was there I walked passed the bus stop right next to the Crispy Creme and ten people got out, all looked like heroin addicts, most were missing teeth and a couple were missing limbs.

I walked up to a video poker machine that someone had spit a lung grape onto the screen. And its full of fat old people. I mean giant old men and women with four foot wide asses waddling around slowly and you just cant get around them. Gives me an anuerism. I completely avoid the soup isle in the grocery store to stay away from fat old heffers because there are generally three in every soup isle. Dowtown Vegas has like fifty thousand.

I bet you can get some form of herpes from sitting in half of the casino chairs in downtown. Except for golden nugget, downtown is too rundown for me. Looks like they installed slots at a methadone clinic.

But my rich uncle loves $1 blackjack at the golden spike so to each their own.
