After ages of reading about the adventures of EG in her daily trials with Miss Information, and never having anything to say, I finally have something to add to the conversation.
I have actually stayed at the Imperial Palace (for a seminar, I had no say in the matter) and it was a horror show. First, as a migraineur, I'm kinda sensitive to noise and lights. Well, to get out onto the strip, you had to pass through the most overwhelmingly vulgar casino I've ever seen in my life. (Not that I've seen very many.) Everything whirred and flashed, and blinked, and made clanging noises. It was a nightmare.
To top things off, while I was there, they were having a slots tournament. Slots tournament? I didn't know there could be a strategy to that, I thought it was pure luck. So there were all these really sad looking old folks walking around with slot machine debit cards lashed to their wrists.
And the "Dealertainers"? Are people dressed up and imitating dead movie stars and the like. That was the skeeviest of all. Nothing like walking to the elevators through whirling lights and ringing bells and seeing Elvis in a white jumpsuit dealing blackjack.
And don't even get me started on the restaurants...
Vegas? No thanks, I'll stick to Disney.
If Miss Info is really going, and really staying at the Imperial Palace, I kinda pity her.
