I just returned from a vacation from Las Vegas. I experienced what I like to call first hand smoke. Their was so much cigarette smoke in the air from depressed down on their luck Vegas folk that I looked like I was a chimney sweeper from Mary Poppins after every day. The most amusing moment in Vegas was when my girlfriend and I walked past the fountains in front of the Bellagio and were subjected to a very angry Michael Jackson impersonator along with his fellow impersonator Captain Jack Sparrow. Why was fake Michael Jackson angry (and I use the term fake quite loosely given the original Michael Jackson's state )? Apparently he did his Michael Jackson dance performance and I didn't even notice he was there till I walked by. Having not received any of my money I could feel the cold dead eyes seething through the terrible makeup job and I feared I was going to get rhinestone glove slapped. Besides Captain Jack may have had one of those plastic swords and you don't mess with a grown man carrying a plastic sword.
Although the brilliant fountain show was going on I wondered to myself what made those two costumed gents one day decide that they would be street performers. Also although Captain Jack could get some gigs at kid parties I'm not sure about that Michael Jackson. My advice to Michael Jackson impersonator guy is to start impersonating Miley Cyrus if he wants to make the big bucks at parties. Maybe a Jonas brother at the very least if you can't pull the girl thing lest I remind you that you are already wearing a wig and make up. Well as you can see this blog is pretty random and pointless but I just got back from Vegas and it kinda sums up the nature of the town.

Hey Tim, I Love Vegas. Never been "rhinestone glove slapped" though. That's effen hilarious! I did see a very drunk guy get a glass of wine tossed in his face, by his wife. He then abruptly jumped up from the table, leaped into traffic and was eventually tackled by 3 cops. Vegas is great! Glad you had a good time!
all my kids were born in vegas, lived there 21 yrs. i don't have that same feeling about it. but then again, i was a local and stayed away from the tourist-y crap lol
i love rambling and pointless. you're hilarious (rhinestone glove slapped!). vegas isn't vegas until you've had a few of those episodes. never a dull moment...
