Ian,
You have real class.
What a fine idea.

Thank you, sir. :wacky:
"Convention" location? Where else other than THEE convention center of the universe - Las Vegas! 'Course, that's a far piece to travel for all you folks 'across-the-pond', izznit...not to mention the fact that GT40s aren't exactly amphibious...
Suggestion withdrawn!
I would rather slowly roast my left testicle in situ, gently sever it from it's rightful location sans any form of pain relief, drizzle with a little light Vindaloo & Chorizo Veloute, and nIbble it sensuously with a sprinkle of powdered glass, Prussic Acid First Flush Tips, and Wilkinson Sword Croutons,
than
EVER GO BACK TO THAT FUCKED UP PLACE EVER EVER AGAIN
EVER GO BACK TO THAT FUCKED UP PLACE EVER EVER AGAIN
I like the east shore of Tahoe.
Oh, Yeah!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, let me guess, Keith...I take it what you're trying to tell me/us is you hold other venues in considerably higher regard??? :shrug:
A second that (well third) excellent suggestion.
Infinitesimally Larry. Even Babylon had a point.
Vegas has become the absolute apogee of American fake,a nightmare realization of the country's bloated and excessive self image and shows what Hollywood, given their cocaine addled head, would do the the rest of the country if they had an opportunity.
Vegas also, either by accident or design, has become Americas living history and cultural exhibition - this is how Americans see foreigners - bloated satirical parodies cast in their own tragic mould.
America is a beautiful unique and wonderful place with a natural beauty that takes your breath away - welcoming and terrifying side by side as only nature can disport herself - just as it should be. Nature should be in charge here, not Plastic Pam.
Perhaps it's all a bit of a laugh? But if the increasingly growing streams of obese sugar bloated visitors continues, perhaps soon you may see Vegas South, Vegas East and Vegas North..
Perhaps even facilitated by one of your own very senior politicians who might trade an askance official eye in exchange for private sector billions to kick start failed, corrupt or unworkable Social Security programmes.
Far fetched? It happened here when Bliar and Brown, following their mugging of Britain's gold reserves, they targeted the Nation's moral health bank by planning a series of Supercasinos designed to rake in gambling tax to bolster failing policies. At least the US Govt spent billions trying to dismantle America's crooked gambling industry (Vegas) but here it seems our Govt clearly believed that "Gambling was fun" and everybody should have a go.
It was eventually stopped - the People were not having any this Champagne Socialist Shit - the few People with still a modicum of sanity left in them that is, but the legacy remains. It is not possible to turn on national TV in the UK and NOT be bombard by TV gaming channels all through the night from 9pm daily and it is disgraceful.
The danger is that Vegas becomes the norm - the benchmark standard by which all future generations will judge how they're doing.
Even in our lifetime of moral Paradox, Vegas is a cess pit of moral turpitude.
There again it may be a bit of a laugh mightn't it - harmlessly the envy of a Chav World.
Vegas is surrounded by distant hills who's lightning storms flash silently and incessantly in the dim distance - the power & beauty of nature's light show more than equaling the squalid brashness of the argon and neon ambience of this dead city.
Try reversing the roles and drive into the mountains and look down on the BLOB that is Vegas. Then turn your head North and keep going...
There is a far, far greater threat to the moral and fiscal health of the U.S., Keith. It's called Washington, D.C. 'Not attempting obfuscation here. Compared to D.C., 'Vegas is a cathedral. One can at least choose whether or not he wishes to expose himself to the "cess pit of moral turpitude". One has no choice regarding his exposure to D.C.
BTW, we already have "Vegas East". It's called Atlantic City!
(Edit: Might I suggest you view the "squalid brashness" of 'Vegas from the wrap-around balcony of a suite in the N.E. corner of the Cosmopolitan's East Tower...about 30-35 stories up or so? [Any higher is too high IMHO.] 'Breathtaking, Keith, especially at night...'270 degrees worth of 'breathtaking'...from the Bellagio's fountains directly below you ['really something at night], north to the Wynn/Encore, and then back down south past the Venetian, the Flamingo, Bally's, the Paris, clear down past the MGM Grand to the south. As 'phony' as 'Vegas may be, it's truly stunning at night. Just the above described view alone is worth the $$$ one spends on the trip. :chug

I was there when it was a "gentle resort" not Dante's Inferno, and nothing artificially created in that hell hole would convince me that even a $1 corndog was worth the price of being there.
There are a few other places in the World I feel similar about, but none as turgid as that dump.
WallyWorld got built.
Rome is still burning.
But hey, it won't be our problem will it? We can just close our eyes and say there's no harm but we should at least feel a sense of responsibility - stand back and think, "well, that IS a world of shit we have created there - never mind, my children will clear it up."
Don't agree about politicians. WE elect them. Buck stops here. We should not be absentee democrats (small d). They fuck up, we fuck them up!
Who told you the revolution is over and done with?
Lunch now..
