Standing ovation (at my desk) for Otis' show!

Now a non-'Xanadu' obsession that i share w/Don-O: vintage Vegas.

The album is called "The Many Moods of Mike Hudson." He also covers "Proud Mary."

This is so perfect, I'm taking my tablet in the kitchen to cook dinner while I take a scenic tour of Vegas... at the SAME TIME!!!

I actually got married in Vegas once.

Really? What happened??

Mr Fab:

Hey, I had an Elvis impersonator wedding in Vegas. And we're still together 20 years later!
Avatar 6:12pm
spacebrother:

Mine lasted 10 years. We drove all night from L.A.
Avatar 6:13pm
spacebrother:

Maybe we should have gone to the Elvis place!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:13pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

What made you both opt for Vegas? (Which sounds like so fun to me to be honest)
Avatar 6:14pm
Otis Fodder:

Loved that 7" of sights and sounds. Listening here, about to make spaghetti and meatballs with a side o' crap.

Don-O:

My first Vegas trip started off with my mom and her boyfriend thinking that it would take 8 hours to go to Vegas from LA. We arrived SO early, that we had to sleep/wait it out in the lobby of the Tropicana until our room as ready....3 hours later. One of many lessons learned that trip.
Avatar 6:18pm
Don-O:

Yea, that sound of the slot machines sounds like nails in a tumbler. Authentic!!
Avatar 6:18pm
spacebrother:

Desperation. We were impulsive. We'd been together a year or so. I waited at her front door until she got home and asked if she would marry me. We took off immediately. Don't know if that was a smart thing to do, but it was a (mostly) fun 10 years.
Avatar 6:18pm
Mr Fab:

The Graceland Chapel, still in business.

Why get married there? Neon lights, booze, gambling, lounge performers, Elvis impersonators, people throwing their life savings away...What better way to cement a relationship than with everything we hold dear?

spacebrother:

This is a slice of Vegas I've never experienced. Nice work, Don.
Avatar 6:19pm
Mr Fab:

That's a great story Greg

I would not be surprise if they build a chapel in the middle of Fremont St. Experience.

See, I got married in a registry office and it lasted barely 4 years so I think you both had the right idea! :-)

Yours too!

Thanks SpaceB. It's version years before the corporate takeover.....and get me started on THAT current ordeal!!

I've got a few friends in Vegas. One is actually a local news anchor.

BTW, the casino sound you hear in the background from from the Friends Forever OST.

Rich in Washington:

my first marriage was going to be a simple courthouse affair, but some flakey chapel owner managed to bamboozle my fiancee into booking there while she was at the courthouse getting paperwork.
So we have this tiny wedding in the basement of some old office building. My dad was there, looked around and said 'this used to be the city coroner's office in the 50s'.
That marriage lasted four years.

Mr Fab:

Yeah, I started going to Vegas in the waning days of the Rat Pack era. Used to see cats like Sam Butera in the lounges, which scarcely exist nowadays. Don't have much use for the place anymore.
Avatar 6:26pm
spacebrother:

Last good show I saw there was Wayne Newton about 10 years ago, I think.
Avatar 6:27pm
Mr Fab:

yeah, we saw Wayne! He ran around the room hugging the ladies. Mrs Fab said he was sweaty.
Avatar 6:27pm
Don-O:

I remember seeing a video of Sam Butera from the early 80's where he was performing at the Trop. There's video excerpts from a planned doc called Appearing Nightly from the early 90's that I FREAKIN' wish that guy would finish.
Avatar 6:28pm
spacebrother:

He played his banjo and had a sore throat. Still good, though. I mean it was WAYNE.

"Wedding Vows in Vegas"! Love Was (Not Was)'s perverse policy on cameo appearances.

Was (Not Was) is one of the VERY few bands that made good sense to me from the 80's.

Question to everybody: Is Fremont Street Experience better than Bourbon Street in New Orleans?
Avatar 6:48pm
spacebrother:

Yes. It's not covered in puke.
Avatar 6:51pm
Don-O:

I ask this as I usually keep hearing some LV Chamber O' Commerce proudly comparing the two with pride. I've been to both and...well, 'better' is NOT the opritive (sic) word to use here.
Avatar 6:55pm
spacebrother:

It's a complicated question.
Avatar 6:55pm
Don-O:

Which smell pleases you?
Avatar 6:56pm
spacebrother:

The absence of puke.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:56pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Vanilla. Jasmine. Gardenias. Cinnamon.
Avatar 6:56pm
Mr Fab:

Downtown Vegas is closer to old-school Vegas. I hear that some of the casinos still have slot machines that don't take paper tickets, but still take coins for that ching-ching-ching sound.
Avatar 6:56pm
grantbob:

Thanks Don-O. Great show!

Making dinner in Vegas here, but ran back from the kitchen to the office to say thanks Don-O for the travel voyage!

El Cortez is one of the very few who still take coins for the slots.
