And you're right about the trappings at that brothel, but maybe since there are several in the area, they have to spruce the place up to remain competitive. As for the toilet seats, that was just a joke.

Beats round beds, red velvet drapes, and mirrors on the ceiling, I guess.<br /><br />Jennifer- Ah, so you're the high roller in the crowd, huh? Been to BOTH places! We went to Atlantic City once, but I haven't been to Vegas yet. I may not like it as much ... no ocean or boardwalk there. You're welcome. I meant every word.<br /><br />Skippy- Hey, hey, hey! No exploding heads allowed. I'm pretty sure that's against the law. You have a wonderful weekend, too.<br /><br />Janie- Yeah, I can see where you wouldn't be a fan of the gambling, but I understand the shows are out of this world. Better pack our own chocolate, though, just in case.<br /><br />Delores- That's a good way to put it. I know what you mean about the sad part, but I read somewhere that the women who work there truly consider what they do as "just a job", and they go home to husbands and children after work. It's a whole different mind set than what we're used to.<br /><br />L.G.- Bummer about not hearing the coins drop anymore. My husband and I visited the Cherokee casino a few years back, and we were really disappointed that everything there was electronic. Just not the same.<br /><br />Pearl- Yeah, you're fun. And it really IS a desert, no matter how much water they pour into it.<br /><br />Liz- The pope and his perfume really threw me for a loop, too. (But no more than his Gucci loafers and gold rings.)<br /><br />Ocean Breezes- Glad you enjoyed the tour. And no, doggone it, I haven't gotten my scallops yet. Hopefully, this weekend.<br /><br />Liza- Glad to hear that, and I hope you found it.<br /><br />Linda- When your book comes out and you start raking in all that money, you can treat T.G. to a trip to Vegas. You'll just have to leave your camel at home.<br /><br />Carrie- Ouch! Sounds like you REALLY don't want to go to Vegas. We considered going for our 30th or 35th anniversary ... can't remember for sure which one ... and were gonna renew our vows with an Elvis impersonator. That struck me as a really fun thing to do, but we ended up going to Florida instead.<br /><br />I hope y'all have a fantabulous weekend.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-60425525438005985172012-03-16T10:45:17.335-04:002012-03-16T10:45:17.335-04:00Isn't it amazing that it only took 5 years to ...Isn't it amazing that it only took 5 years to complete the wondrous Hoover Dam, but it takes over a year now to rebuild a small bridge over a creek.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-38484257848211842052012-03-16T10:24:23.311-04:002012-03-16T10:24:23.311-04:00I think I'd rather eat my own eyeballs than go...I think I'd rather eat my own eyeballs than go to Vegas.
