Las Vegas quotes
a
"Las Vegas is the most honest fake city in the world." --Frank Scoblete
"Vegas is becoming an adult pinball palace." --Mark Pilarski
"To the devoted climber there is the lofty peak of Mt. Everest; for the avid golfer there is the wind-swept fairway at St. Andrews; and for the gaming devotee there is the neon-studded allure of Las Vegas." --Marvin Karling Ph.D
"Las Vegas is operating on the lower levels of human need--money, sex, and power. --Ian Andersen
"Las Vegas is loaded with all kinds of gambling devices. Dice tables, slot machines, and wedding chapels." --Joey Adams
"It's mathematically impossible to win (long term) at a game where the other side has the advantage. Vegas was built by players trying to disprove this fact." --Bob Dancer
"Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether."
--Hunter S. Thompson
"I sometimes think of Las Vegas as the Jerusalem of chance. A holy city." --Frank Scoblete
"There are only two sorts of people walking the streets of Las Vegas at 2 a.m. on a winter's night: muggers and broken souls not worth mugging." --Anthony Holden
"The one phrase you'll never hear used to describe Las Vegas is ‘understated elegance.’”
--Barry Meadow
"Las Vegas suffers from all those infrastructural maladies and offers every ounce of the promise. For the immigrant with no English, the autoworker with no assembly line, the desperate hunch player with a fatally flawed dice system, it is the place for fresh starts, second chances, and last stand.” --John L. Smith
"Las Vegas is the only place in the world where you can get tanned and faded at the same time." --Sal Sagev (this is anonymous, Las Vegas spelled backwards)
"More people miss more flights out of Las Vegas than anywhere else." --Andrés Martinez
"Las Vegas is a magnet for the exploration of human darkness." --Adam Fine
And now an only-in-Vegas news report, from the Internet: “It seems that there was a robbery spree of convenience stores overnight and into the wee hours on Friday morning. One of the potential targets was a store in Green Valley, and the masked gunmen entered brandishing automatic weapons and demanding money. One of the perps approached a fellow who was playing video poker in the store and demanded his wallet. The VP player turned it over to the crook, who immediately saw that it contained no money. Apparently, around this time, a bread truck pulled into the lot to make an early-morning delivery, spooking the robbers, who fled the store. Our true trooper turns back to his machine and continues to play. He holds a T,K hearts and calmly draws the J,Q,A for a $1,000 royal. Only in Vegas.
