    My wife and I were at an outside bar on the strip a number of years ago and there was a guy so drunk that 2 cops each had one of his arms around their shoulder and the other hand was lifting him by the belt and they carried him out. His feet were dragging tipped back the whole way and they ended up putting him in a wheelchair and pushing him into a hotel. He was so drunk they had to pick up his feet and put them on the footrests of the wheelchair...and this was before noon on a Sunday :)

    Friend of mine got hammered while we were staying in the Bellagio. He went to his room and fell asleep in the shower. Apparently he had his butt covering the drain in the shower and he flooded several rooms. He said when they kicked his door in, there was a good 3" or so of water in his entire room.

    I went once while at Nellis. 30 minutes in Vegas was all I needed to decide my fun meter was pegged. Haven't been back since.

    I didn't see too much crazy stuff the two times I was there. At least things I was sober enough to remember.

    The only time I've been to Vegas was when I was 11. My aunt and uncle were stationed at Nellis and I spent the summer with them. Did see some hookers standing on street corners. Other than that, all I remember was it was really hot.

    Have yet to go to Vegas. When I lived in south GA I went to Biloxi Mississippi a couple times. Didn't see to much craziness there. I think actually the craziest thing I saw was amount of peel and eat shrimp shells I had sitting in my table after devouring them at the Boomtown casino buffet. :D It was INSANE!!! I sat back and said "Holy crap... did I just eat that many shrimp?!?!"

    Oh we did see a pretty sizable fight between 2 groups of guys in the parking lot there one time. Outside the same casino but on a separate trip. But that wasn't as astonishing as the shrimp peels. Lmao

    Haven't been there since I was a kid. I may or may not know a person that gambled under age on the slot machines. We were walking down the isle of one of the casinos. My dad had a coin in his hand and was saying here take this. I thought to me, but he was talking to mom. I took it and put it in a slot machine, pulled the handle and lost. We were basically escorted out!

    Back in February 1979, my wife and I took a belated Honeymoon to Vegas.
    Left Milwaukee, Wisconsin when the temp was a balmy -22 degrees F.
    Flew out to Vegas and landed, you guessed it....SNOW !!!
    I don't think it got above 45 degrees for the 4 or 5 days we were there.
    It was a wierd thing since the cab driver we hailed was originally from Wisconsin and he said they had maybe 1/2" of snow, and he parked his cab because the loonies out there don't know how to drive in snow. He said that 1/2" of snow literally shut the town down !!

    I have no desire to ever spend the funds that a real Vegas trip would require. There is probably a thousand other things i would rather do. And i like strippers/gambling.

    I've never been to Vegas but the boss has several times. He gave this cup to me from one of the trips...

    I thought it was nice of him until I turned it to read the other side. Then I thought it was kind of gay...

    Then I looked inside and laughed. Not gay...

    My wife and I took a cab from Mandalay Bay to Ceasars. All went well until we got to the left turn light at Ceasars. During the wait for the green light our cabby fell asleep. I had to tap him on the shoulder to wake him up. By then the light was red again. I tried to make conversation to keep him awake till we got to the door. I feel lucky he didn't fall asleep while moving in traffic.

    I spend way to much time in Vegas for work and have seen more than a few crazy things but my favorite was the very first time I was there.

    My wife and I had just landed, ditched our bags in the room and hit the strip to soak it all up. We were staying at Luxor, the far south end of the strip, and made it as far as MGM when we started walking behind a staggering drunk with one of those HUGE 3' long frozen drink glasses strapped to his back and the straw in his mouth. We followed him for a few blocks as he bounced off person after person and made an *** of himself. At this point he slows and is looking around with some urgency, obviously nature was calling. He was desperate and there wasn't an obvious solution, other than some small bushes nearby. The only problem was they were lining Las Vegas Blvd to keep people from staggering out into the street. He certainly didn't want anyone to see his pee pee so he pushed through the bushes out into LVB stopping traffic, he dropped trou and let it fly as cars honked, people stared and the police converged.

    Amazingly we saw him a short time later, apparently public urination on the strip doesn't constitute an arrest in Vegas.
