Las Vegas was interesting.
Weed is WAY more popular than tobacco. I didn't count how many times we smelled it -- at least a dozen times a day for sure.
And not just on the street. We were on a non-smoking floor and the hallway usually reeked of herb.

One thing that's ironic is you'll get nothing for free at the Aria hotel unless it's a comp for gambling.
If you get thirsty in your room and didn't bring water, there are two options:
1) Drink the heavily chlorinated tap water.
2) Pay $10 for the liter of Fiji(?) that's in the room.

And we had a perfectly ordinary breakfast that cost $83 after the tip. :shock::o

Yeah, I'm a little bitter.
Fuck the Aria and MGM. :finger:

My buddy has a 300K townhouse on the strip. (It's not very big, like a 3rd of what you'd buy here.)

But it's fun to go there once in a while. Don't have to pay for a room but you make up for it at dinner and in the dispensaries. Lol.

My buddy is what I'd call a semipro gambler. He has a photocopy of a $32K check from winning at Texas HoId 'em.

His uncle (a true pro gambler) bought casino stock way back when and became a millionaire by the '70's.

My buddy is the executor of his uncle's living trust fund so he can buy anything he wants (like a $300K townhouse) but it's property of the living trust. He gets an annual salary too.

Talk about a cool uncle that sets up future generations!

uh, aisle seat please :(

"A female passenger, according to WCAU, was "partially sucked out" of the Boeing 373's window when the engine exploded and shrapnel from the engine smashed a window".

Wow ! That is horrible!! It’s terrible that someone died but it could have been so much worse! The pilots should be commended on getting that plane down and saving the lives of the remaining passagers.jeez I have 2 window seats on my flights on 4/20 maybe I should get aisle instead.

Her's was right next to the engine on a 737; as long as your seat isn't there and you practice your ninja skills (springing, hopping, etc) you'll be fine. @neosapien can coach you

Thanks for the good advice Singlemalt! I will make sure I’m not in that window seat next to the engine . I was in those seats right next to the engine yesterday on a united flight same type of airplane.

Stats show the safest seats are in the rear.

The analysis found that the seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate, compared with 39% in the middle third and 38% in the front third.

Include the fact you get to board first and typically store your gear in the over head first
it seems like a win win on all accounts.

But I gamble the odds. I want off that mofo ASAP so i'll take any seat that is on the aisle and as far forward as possible.:blsmoke:

We always fly Delta to China on the 777-200er/lr and get seats 43a,b,c.

1. Limited recline, but the trade-off is nobody behind you kicking your seat.
2. Bathrooms are conveniently directly behind you.
3. The galley is directly behind you. The attendants tend to get you stuff fast when asked.
4. You're tucked in a corner of the plane and can make a habitat as such.

Seat guru lists them as a bad seat but seat guru obviously is a commie.

I just changed my seats. I got the last row aisle for the 4 hr flight. It might smell by the crapper but the advantage of standing when I need to for a while will be easier in that location. For the 3 hr flight I got the front 2nd row aisle after first class upgrade to an economy plus, whatever that is.window seats are totally over rated. Should I get one of those neck pillows?

I prefer window seats because my shoulders are broad.
It's way better than constantly getting bumped by people passing in the aisle or squeezed in the middle seat.

Yeah I see ur point. My shoulder are not like that so when I’m in the window seat I tend to lean up against the window and wall which totally reeks havoc on my back and hips. And it feels like I’m trapped, like a prisoner in solitary confinement. I don’t think my shoulders will stick out too much getting hit in the aisle. I’m willing to take the beating in the shoulder if I can stretch out at least on of my legs into the aisle.

We all rock a neck pillow when we travel.
