They try to stuff your hands with their ads as you try to walk the strip. I think Peter was aproached by some of the members of the "oldest profession". You don't hear about the "roll the drunk", as you put it, but it is some thing that can go on here. The campaign is what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. I guess you need to take the good with the bad.</p> <p>Brian(Mostly_Here) here in Sin City</p><hr /><a name="a3472_8"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3472.8">#8</a>]<br /> 10 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: (Brian) (MOSTLY_HERE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3472.7">#7</a>] 11 Apr 2006</p> Brian,<br /> <br /> In another thread, I mentioned the allure of Vegas isn't really there for me. It just happens to be the venue for our industry's "Greatest Show on Earth", which is ARA Las Vegas.<br /> <br /> Nothing against the city or its people, it's just that I don't gamble and being happily married, don't have the need for another adult companion. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> Hope you'll come to next year's ARA Show/Beach Party. Guaranteed to be better than this year's, which is a tall claim to make. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span> <hr /><a name="a3472_9"></a><p><b>From: Jo (OAAE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3472.9">#9</a>]<br /> 11 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3472.8">#8</a>] 11 Apr 2006</p> <p>David,</p> <p>I second that!

Was there as part of a very large corporate bowling tournament. SO LARGE that we bowled according to a schedule, which was 24 hours/3 days.<br /> <br /> Anyway, our "schedule" was such that we bowled in the middle of the very early morning. We finished just in time for a 6:00 a.m. breakfast. There were five us in one car and I let three out at the restaurant door and drove the car around to find a parking spot. As I and my buddy are walking from the car to the restaurant door, we round a corner and are face-to-face with three ladies of the evening whose leader, without any hesitation, says "would you gents like a little dessert before breakfast?" <span class="e_shades" title="B-)"><span class="e__">B-)</span> </span> <hr /><a name="a3472_16"></a><p><b>From: gt350ed</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3472.16">#16</a>]<br /> 11 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: UCONN Dave &amp; Lynn too (DANDL48)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3472.10">#10</a>] 11 Apr 2006</p> Hey Dudes and Duddettes!
