      Vegas is a good place to go if your idea of a good time is eating and hanging around the pool. Other than that, it’s a glittering shithole in the desert built on the losses of prior visitors.

          That’s sad. Pulling the lever was such fantastic part of the experience. Now we can’t call them “One Arm Bandits.”
