I reckon you'd love El Paso and Juarez, and yeah you gotta embrace the seedy side to enjoy Vegas. I still have a collection of those cards. :wink:

I can think of 20-odd countries I'd really like to visit. Maybe 30. I can think of another hundred-odd countries I wouldn't mind going to. The United States isn't on either list.

I never used them, just took them when offered and kept them as souveniers.

If you get the chance, stay at the Gold Nugget on Fremont st. That st is insane, makes the strip look like a church festival

Not surprised, prostitution isn't legal in Clark County Nevada, where Vegas is. Lots of things define Vegas for me more than the cards.

In somewhat related news, brothels are allowed to open from 11:59pm Sunday 22nd in Victoria. I wonder which news service will be out videoing the queues. :P

Meanwhile, Sweden's Mad Scientist in Chief, who has spent the last six months overseeing a massive public health disaster saying "We aren't banking on herd immunity, no, not at all, not in any way, we are just looking forward to the second wave when Sweden will have achieved herd immunity and won't have many cases", is looking on doing nothing (same as usual) while Sweden's second wave infection rates and deaths and hospitalisations go through the roof. Again.

They are getting an incredible 20% positive test rate. Strewth!
