    Her role model is her mom. Mom must be busting her buttons.

    Um, I'll try to avoid Soolin or WTF her name is.

    I'll be hanging somewhere where there's gambling and free alcohol. That should limit it down.

    The free drinks ain't what they used to be, especially in the sports books.

    Are they still free? Because that's all I care about.

    If they're free, and there are restrooms there, then I can drink enough to get toasted.

    (plus, I have a kitchen in my room so I can pre-party)

    I've never seen that show. Saw half of one when I was visiting with an ex and he had it on. I just liked the main dude's laugh.

    Reno's the better answer to the question than Vegas. Went there a few times about 10-12 years ago and really enjoyed the laid-back vibe and inexpensive everything -- rooms, food, drinks, gambling. But since then the number of downtown casinos has dropped by at least one-third.

    Isn't the scarcity and high costs for the transportation of water in the future going to threaten Vegas more than anything else?

    Water scarcity is not really a problem. Most of the water in the Colorado River is used for agriculture. So with enough money a city can buy out the farmer's water rightsand solve the problem.

    Vegas was facing a problem because levels in Lake Mead were declining because of recent warming in the Western United States. If the decline in levels continued they would fall below the level of the intake valves. But Las Vegas built valves at lower levels.
