I was at the Paris in Vegas for the last few days. I didn't know there was a Democratic Debate until the day there. When I arrived at the airport traffic was shut down for an hour and we couldn't get to the car rental jitneys for another hour. Total mad house. Will never stay at the Paris again. That and rum and coke is $18 without tip.
My advice in Vegas now: Renting a car is a fools errand. Every body is hitting you up to park for $20 for an hour or two. That adds up if you hopping around (free parking at the Venetian though). The other problem is unless you're using a valet you've got to walk another 1/2 mile from the lot to casino. No kidding.
Use Uber or Lyft. Cheaper, less walking and more convenient.

I've had to pay $1000 bucks for an hour with an outstanding, young and pretty girl who would cost only $400 here in Dallas. Plus, the strip clubs are very full priced though they often have really pretty girls it is nothing to spend a couple grand there and yes I take an Uber at night - walking around anywhere off the strip at night is foolish.
Interestingly, the massage parlors/AMPs have the same old 40 year olds we have in Dallas.
Fucking hate conversations with the taxi drivers anyway - how many fucking times do I have to answer the question, "Did you enjoy your stay in Vegas?" "You having a good time?"
