vchris 3 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'm going to Las Vegas in 2 weeks and was just wondering if you guys knew anything cool I could do there? I already plan on going play a bit of poker, go see cirque du soleil O, grand canyon/hoover dam... Other than that probably go see the nice hotels. Is it a good idea to rent an exotic car over there (ferrari, porsche...) for 1 day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skemcin 13 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Vegas is the Devil - stay away from the light - lolSeriously though, everyone I've ever spoken to says it was worth going once, but cared to not go back. Maybe its just my (and their) point in live (age, kids, careers) but I'm not interested in going. Too easy to spend money I know could be spent more wisely. Yes, I know, "have fun skemcin you hard a$$" - yeah yeah yeah. I've rather spend my hard earned money on running my 79 Porsche in an autocross than listen to some singer who's CD is on sale at walmart for $7.99:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vchris 3 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 79 porsche! what model? We do autocross here too. I got a subaru rs 2000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xtazy 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think poker is no good. Is very vicious and when you win a little, you think that when you'll play again you'll win more. And that's the way many people lost there jobs, houses and women :)Anyhow, when you go to Las Vegas it worths to play stmh' in the Casinos.If u are a vampire, don't go there..the light will kill ya Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Betting on horses is the same thing, or boxing to use your rocky-avatar as an example.The game poker itself is a cool game. There are so many other fun variations of it that doesn't involve gambling with money. For example strip-poker or sip-poker... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its more of a mind game... not like betting on horses is more of a luck factor, but in poker, the way they manipulate, trick and bluff... it needs a lot of talent to play it...

lilyofthevalley 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Depending on exactly when you're going, you might hit their "dark dates", but otherwise, I highly recommend going to see Penn & Teller at the Rio if you like magic, comedy, or just a great show. I have never seen them do a bad show.General Show Info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skemcin 13 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 They do have the Tribeca and Forester.I actually really like the Tribeca. I always new the look would grow on me and I want one even more now. But both vehicles are just a hair too small. I am 6'3'' and my standard vehicle test is to put both front seats all the way back. Then, I go sit in the back seats, if I am comfortable, then I can start to consider the car/truck. Otherwise, there is not enough room for me (number one) but more importantly, it is accurate measure that helps determine how easy it is for my kids to kick the back of my seat while I'm driving. Most of the time its not the kicking that I mind, its the dirt that kids track in that bothers me. Anyway, I did look at them, and they just don't have enough "livable" space.A guy I work for races his 914 in a Porsche club.That looks likea rather nice 914. My uncle actually a 914 a while back. There is a slight chance he still has it, but I kind of doubt - this makes me want to call. What is cool about a Porsche is the you will find EVERY model they've ever made on a race track somewhere. You know you have quality engineering when every model is built with that mind set (yes including the Cayenne). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
