The Vegas Virgin

The Denver Post has a great commentary on Vegas Virgins--either those that have never been there, or in this case, someone that was there 20 years ago, which is basically like they've never been in the first place.

Said subject leaves his kids at home to "fend for themselves" and heads with his wife for the strip where he proceeds to lose $2,000 very quickly. He offers some great commentary:

What's not to like? You can smoke indoors, drink for free, party like it's spring break most any night, and buy a little hope with every spin of the roulette wheel. Las Vegas is phony. Yes it is. But it is more real in its phoniness than most people's reality.

He does get a little deep-annoying sometimes, and actually walks out of the way to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville (why!?) but all in all sort of renewed our love-hate relationship with Sin City just a little bit...
