Las Vegas weekend... Not the place I remember

[Kwon3]

Once again; in my opinion, pedophila and child molestation are among the most heinous acts anyone can commit. They are indefensible.

Falsely accusing anyone of acts and/or crimes they did not commit is a defamation of their character. What seems clear is that you have no problem with this.  You have no proof that anyone currently posting on Getbig is guilty of either. You have an opinion and that's all you have. 

Oh jesus, you ARE defending him. God, you're sick. People here pick on you for cheating on your wife with other men and exposing her to diseases in the process, but no one ever thought you'd sink this low. The guy admitted he thinks sex with 13 year olds is OK and that they're "Shot" by that age anyway. Are you fucking blind?

You're a truly vile, disgusting individual. I bet you think those priests who abused children don't have any proof against them, either, right? Because it's been too long and no one saw it anyway.  

[Kwon3]

It’s good to hear you have that opinion.

Have you seen all the quotes re -posted
Are you saying you don’t find anything remotely wrong or disturbing
With those quotes?
As clearly many poster have by the remarks made after the posts.
Careful how you answer as you got yourself in a muddle not so long
Back if you Remember.  

Primemuscle is gay and into defending pedos too, apparently. He's sunk to an all time low.

Interesting. I'd like to know more about this.

Las Vegas sure isn’t the place I remember.  I was there for a weekend in January, 2017.  So much of the fun, tacky, kitschy aspect of Las Vegas is gone.  Now it’s all Prada, Gucci, and Tiffany’s.  And who can afford that shit?  A few people, and sudden big winners, but otherwise not many.  

Plus prices have skyrocketed.  I was in a club and paid a record price for my cocktail of choice, bourbon and ginger ale:  $14.  I thought I was gonna pass out at that price.  I have never paid that much for that drink.

Even worse to me, as an old car lover, I read a while back that the Auto Collections at The Linq hotel (fka Imperial Palace) had closed.  Every time I ever went to Vegas I always made it a point to visit the Auto Collections and look at the cars.  That was a lot of fun to me.  Not anymore.

That was one of my rituals as well. I have probably seen that car collection 10 times.

Used to live in Vegas.  It totally is an over priced shithole now and would live in Reno or Tahoe now if I went back to Nevada.

[stuntmovie]

REPS, AGNOSTIC, HUMBLE ..... Here's an update.

The Wynn/Encore has all those high end Gucci, Tyffany type shops but I've never seen anyone inside of them except for a guy in a fancy suit standing at attenton waiting for a customer to walk in.

I went onto one of those places with my sister-in-law who frequents those shops frequently and she bought a high price lip-stick which was probably the only sale that store made that day.

But now these shops are appearing all over town which is a big surprise to me bcause you get better prices at Sam's Club and Costco.

But I gotta admit that I bought two Rolex's at those fancy stores over my lifetime.

And that Bourbon and Ginger Ale will now set you back $18 ".

I was not aware that the Linq got rid of their car exhibit but I believe that the old car collection in one of the Laughlin casnos is still in operation.

HUMBLE, I guess you know that Reno is a smaller version of Vegas and that Tahoe is one hell of an expensive place to live.

I  once owned some property in Incline Villge but the environmental restrictions convinced me to dump it .... which is a big regret today.

BTW ... If anyone comes to VEGAS and decides to have a cocktail at most any major nightclub .... order a Gummy Bear Margarita which I hear is very popular here in town.

That was my invention .... but it was impossible to patten it.

Reno's getting expensive because of the Silicon Valley crew moving in but it used to be cheap.  Towns around there like Hawthorne are probably still cheap plus you have whore houses there as well.  Lake Tahoe is beautiful and mostly a Cali crowd so they probably gouge them like they do the Prim crowd.

[stuntmovie]

HUMBLE, I'm guessing that RENO is about 250 miles north of Silicon Valley and......  you said that the Silicon Valley crew are moving in.

I assume that they are not driving to work each day.

Are they purchasing lake-side Tahoe properties for vacaton rentals or can they just work for the Silicon Valley businesses on their computers while residing within their Reno/Tahoe residences?

I hate it when I've thoughtfully replied to a question only to have it disappear because I hit the wrong key before hitting post. So here goes again.

Hopefully, I won't muddle this up!  

Reading all the reposts wasn't necessary because I remember this fracas well. Not reporting sexual abuse because you think your job or a friendship is at stake is grossly wrong. I believe I said as much at the time. An adult having sex with a 13 year-old cannot be justified. Even when it is just a suspicion, it must be reported...period.

Excusing it because 13 is the age of consent in some other place or at some other time, doesn't wash. Suggesting the abuse was acceptable because the victim was promiscuous and would do whatever for a cigarette is a pile of crap.

In my job, reporting suspected child abuse is and was required by law. Personally, I believe not reporting it should be against the law for everyone no matter their profession.

Kwon3 relishes calling folks pedophiles. It's all an enormous Getbig joke to him. He is disgustingly subhuman. Call him on it and he counters that he's just pulling your chain. Bullshit! "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" He is obsessed...and mentally deeply disturbed.

It's just fun to get you going, to be honest. You fall for it every time, which means you're either triggered by every social injustice you come across on this forum or you're guilty of the very things being discussed in this thread, particularly since they weren't directed at you. Same way Nether Animal's gimmicks would constantly defend people with herpes when there was no obvious reason to do so. I think you've got some dark hidden evil secret you're trying to keep under wraps and I've been tugging away at the adhesive tape around it with this thread. No other way to explain why you're so invested, even days later, when the conversation was basically already over.

It sucks as there aren't many decent places to live in Nevada anymore unless you are very wealthy or want to live in Elko or Ely.  Unfortunately a lot of the mountain west is facing the same fate.  Boise Idaho, Salt Lake City Utah, Denver (in the 70's), Phoenix and Seattle (in the 80's) were all great places to live not too long ago.  My guess is Missoula and Kalispell Montana are the next to go.

Good answer & well said - Glad we’re in the same boat on this along With kwon3
And many others who have expressed very similar thoughts.
No confusion this time - 

As for kwon3 I think he is calling it as he sees it
What would your term of phrase be for them then.

$14 a drink is not bad. I was NYC and ducking drinks were $20-34 for just a vodka and club soda.  I ended up going to a liquor store and stocked up instead. Anywhere you go now drinks are jacked up. They call bartenders “mixologists” and charge you triple for a rum and coke.

Holy mother fuck...

Although this I believe.  I was in NYC in May, 2016.  The whole weekend I was there all I did was go to the ATM machines, I kept running out of cash.  I couldn’t believe how expensive NYC was.  People bitch about LA being expensive but it’s nothing compared to NYC.

[stuntmovie]

I complain a lot regardng how the Strip casinos treat the 'visitors' who don't seem to notice nor care that they are being 'fleeced', but yestday (Saturday) the Strip asinos were full of 20 somethings having one hell of a great time losing their money at the tables and buying $7+ beers and $12 -$18 cocktails when sitting at the bar.

Locals and those familiar wih this town know where to enjoy $2 beers and $5 cocktails and decent table play but....  those casinos were also packed .... so maybe these young weekend warriors are learning where to go and how to play to their best advantage without returning home with an empty wallet.

The answer to this is that I have a lot of time to waste these days. I should find a new hobby. Getbig gets pretty negative at times and generally speaking, I prefer positive thinking.

Why not honor your wife by allowing a good woman into your heart?  There is room enough in eternity for all and in like fashion, there is room in your heart for a woman willing and wanting to share her's with you.    Your beloved is neither replaced or displaced.  Start with being friends and then see where it goes.  Because love is nothing less than true friendship set to the music that is two lives playing the same tune.


A friend of mine lost his wife about two years ago and recently met a  nice widow and they have begun dating and he knows the truth of what I have said to you.    Or you can ignore what I have said.

Hey Stunt, one place still remains. Ellis Island on Kavol. Still has a great steak and egg breakfast for $6.95. And the steak is great... Other than that, I love the Wynn Parasol up for cocktailing.

[stuntmovie]

Yea, PKAZ! I'm in Ellis Island at least 2 or 3 times a week and take all my Vegas visitors for lunch or dinner before hitting the tables to teach them how to play BJ and Craps.

You mentioned breakfast but next time try the Fish and Chips for lunch or have an early dinner in their Baby Back Ribs restaurant which opens at 4:30.

Each of those meals are among the best in town.

But like every other place in Vegas, Ellis Island is expanding and the meal prices will definitely increase.

They still run a decent game of BJ, 3 to 2 and no continuous shuffeling shoe and they are definitely generous with their comp't drinks.

It you walk from the Strip down Flaningo towards ELLIS ISLAND , you'll pass STAGE DOOR ... a little rough-neck bar with bar top slots   and it's worth a visit .... great looking bartendresses and damn loose slots and $2 - $3 cold beer.

I like Stage Door because it'd OLD TIME VEGAS.

I do a lot of hiking along the Strip on a daily basis (10,000 Step Program) and seldom miss the opportunity to stop in and have a cold Bud Light Draft.

And if you want a beer or cocktail while on the Strip and don't want to pay for over-priced drinks, you can step up to the bar in CASINO ROYALE and get a few cold $3 brews.

Those are the only couple of bars in this town in which I ever pay for a drink (I forgot abut that earlier) because in all the other LV casinos I get  compt while playing the tables or the machines.

Get back to ELLIS and try their Baby Backs after 4:30 and the Fish and Chips for lunch.
