dumbest thing overheard so far in Vegas:
But first, a little background. I'm staying at a shit hotel - the Imperial Palace - for two reasons: 1) it's cheap. 2) it's on the monorail line, which makes it easy to get to the Las Vegas convention center without having to rely on shuttle buses or expensive cabs. other than that, this place is a dump. i've stayed here before, so i knew what i was in for, but it seems to be getting worse.
I'd say if you took the average IQ of the guests of this hotel, it'd be a full 25-35% lower than most, save the Sahara or maybe the New Frontier. As a demonstration, let me recount to you part of a conversation I heard in the elevator this morning. The bank of elevators closest to my room conveniently skips floors 2, 3, 4 and 5, because those floors don't have rooms on them. The idea is that when you're going down from your room you most likely want to go directly to the lobby. if you need to go to one of the floors that have, say, corporate offices and stuff for hotel staff, you need to use a different bank of elevators. makes sense, right?
This morning, and i shit you not, i hear one guest in a Nascar wife-beater say to his wife in all seriousness: "You know, next time we should just get out on the 6th floor and walk since it's only one floor down to the lobby."
No wonder this country is so fucked up. on the other hand, i won $145 on a slot machine, so it can't be all bad.
