backing that ass up... just a little

flashback to about 5pm or so.

shortly after arriving in las vegas, nv (for the first time in my life) i went to... not a casino... not a strip show...

why, the PUBLIC LIBRARY! and then a TARGET! i may be the only non-resident of las vegas who's been to such places!

did a couple updates from the PUBLIC LIBRARY OF LAS VEGAS?! how scandalous?! there were a plethora of cops at the library. but no strippers. that i noticed.

after that i drove down las vegas blvd - the strip. which is where i took all the daytime shots of the casinos, buildings, the pimp/pauper, the cowboy clown car, etc. etc....

after that i found a TARGET. got some directions/advice from the lady working the jewelry counter. she clarified a few important things for me like:

where to park - hotel garages. free.
places to avoid - the stretch of las vegas blvd i just came from.
where the local walmart is - in case i have to spend the nite. which is scary to think about.

along my travels, i found the campus of UNLV - the university of nevada, las vegas. now who in their right mind sends their kids to college in LAS VEGAS?! you're just asking for trouble. or a child with a B.A. in GAMBLING and/or STRIPPING. think of all the copious amounts of alcohol and unprotected sex you had while in college. or will have in college. plus all the other debauchery. then imagine it having taken place in las vegas?! yeah, scary. yet likely a lot of fun...

after all that, and then some, the sun finally set. i parked the deathcab at the MGM GRAND garage. then headed inside. which is where we'll return to our story...
