    Getting TO/AROUND: Folks, if you are coming to our fair city and especially if you are planning on imbibing heavily and walking around, please be warned that Las Vegas drivers are, a) ALWAYS in a hurry and usually drive 55 mph or better on the major streets b) Usually pissed off, talking on a cell phone, slapping a kid in the back seat, or otherwise distracted and you should never assume someone will see you and slow down. (You will be lucky if you get them to swerve), and c) unfortunately far too many drivers, both local and tourist, are often drunk themselves. Several people get killed on the sidewalks here at night or early morning.

    And one more thing. NEVER jay-walk (run accross the street to avoid walking to a traffic light). The streets here are 7 to 8 lanes wide and as I said, everyone is driving way faster than you can run...

     The Gulch is full of saggy bodies BUT at least the girls (most) are friendly and have a laugh and don't fleece you. Sadly it's my favourite 'girly' bar in LV

     Read your post re: "gold chain/beev skirt" but you never mention the name of the place. I guess I could drive to the address posted, but it would be nice to know the name.
