Good TR actually in the Main Stream Media

[tschwicht]

I've always enjoyed Bill Simmons' columns for ESPN. He mentions Vegas and gambling in particular quite often. Pretty funny dude. Anyway, figured some of you might enjoy this article. It's actually part 1/2 of his "trip review" from him and his friends having their fantasy draft there.

I read that piece this afternoon and the first thought that popped into my head was that this looked like a TR that belonged here. Right after that was something along the lines of WTF? PICS?

Thanks for posting!

Thanks that was great. I loved the part about Barstow because we always stop there. It's a must do item except we do In-N-Out not Arbbys.

And I loved this part:

(By the way, note to the female readers: Not everyone is meant to wear a tight cocktail dress. It's OK. You don't have to force it. Actually, this should be the new "Just Say No" PSA to replace the old drug ones -- just a montage of overweight women crammed in cocktail dresses four times too small as innocent bystanders repeatedly look into the camera either wincing or saying "No." We need to get the word out. This has to end.)

lol loved that TR by Simmons.. I think I read the one he posted last year.

Im definitely trying to avoid that Barstow stop. It never fails that women need to pee every 2 hours or so

hahahahaha

(Note: I love every single thing about craps -- seriously, everything, and especially throwing -- except for the little-known rule that white people can't consistently win unless they're over 50 years old and standing next to a trophy girlfriend 25-plus years younger. Then, and only then, can a white person consistently win at craps. And I guess what I'm trying to tell you is this: Ten more years to go and I'm there, baby!)

"I am not drunk enough yet," Grady reassures us confidently.

These are the things you say in Vegas.

nice TR.

Some things seem familiar, just that I'm not that old yet

He makes a very good point about The Hangover replacing Swingers as the quintessential "VEGAS BABY" movie.
