Las Vegas Lounge Acts
OK, unless you're 14 and Brandon Flowers is your alpha and omega, you've got a Las Vegas Lounge Act for a guilty pleasure.
For me it's Tom Jones. "What's new pussycat? whoa, whoa, whoa..." But there's gotta be a Neil Diamond fan out here in DiSspace. I'm sure of it!
Or maybe Englebert Humperdinck? Sammy, Dino, and ole Francis Albert, perhaps? If we can include Carole King, then I'd like to add her to my lounge act list.
The reason I ask is because there's a whole psychology profile I can build for you based on your answer. For instance, if you choose the Dixie Chicks then I'd say you're destined to marry an ugly version of Ann Coulter and live with an illegal militia somewhere in Idaho.
If you say, forget the Vegas music I'd love to see Don Rickles, then I'd say he's dead but Rita Rudner at New York New York is an even more annoying version.
Sigfried and Roy may be gone but there's still those stupid Blue Hat (?) Men, and Cirque de Soleil, and of course my own recommendation, the naked chicks in 3 ft high Bob Mackie head dress at the Tropicana. hubba, hubba! And though the Hard Rock Cafe claims you'll likely be in their swimming pool with real live 'rock stars' that's only true if you still think Dave Navarro and ex-Guns 'N Roses members are 'rock stars'.
So who amongst you have been to Las Vegas? It's certainly not your ordinary city. If you fly in at night or are having a drink at the Stratosphere you can see the full absurdity of the place. In the middle of the fucking desert is a gigantic neon city of lights. I've heard you can see it from space or some such nonsense. Quite of spectacle.
But I digress. Favorite Lounge Lizards and anything else on Las Vegas!
oR's Vegas tip: Yes, the drinks are free, but don't forget to tip the waitress or it'll be a long time before she comes your way again.
oR's tip no.2: Don't even think of trying to rip off the hotels. They don't beat you with rubber hoses and bury in the desert anymore... the cops do it for them legally, now.
Everybody now, sing: "Sweeeeet Car-o-line. bom! bom! bom!"
Las Vegas trivia: The anti-christ was spawned from a Canadian marsh and now sings at Caesar's Palace. Name the wench and the band she offered $20,000 to buy their name. 10 DiS points.
