Las Vegas...Mermaid's skanky low-life babes a turn-off!






As the clubs on the Freemont strip bask in an embarrassment of riches in the midst of the 70’s madness celebration, Mermaid's Bar remains dead (and as boring) as a door nail.

No wonder!

The tawdry bit**es posted outside to lure in patrons have all the personality and enthusiasm of a worm!

When it comes to “looks” and sex appeal, the bevy of bimbo babes here, are best categorized as "dawgs".

In high school, the “in” crowd used to refer to gals like these sorry drink-pushers as double-baggers.

Instead of placing one bag over their head, you toss on two, in case the first one breaks.

Ouch!

When I sauntered by this sleazy joint, I almost burst out laughing when I caught sight of the two unshapely broads posted at the entrance to hand out shiny plastic beads and invite potential guests inside.

One gal was squeezed into a festive outfit about two sizes too small (to her detriment).

Rolls of fat fell over her unsightly pinched-in-skirt and a sickly white paunch jiggled out-of-control, whenever she moved this way or that.

Most dudes would rather hop into the sack with an inflatable doll, than risk a romp in the hay with some skanky broad like that.

Inside, the short - rough-and-tumble-looking cocktail waitresses - reeked of bad attitude.

They acted like their sh** didn’t stink.

And, the dizzy Ms. Lizzies couldn't keep track of their cocktail orders, to boot!

When you happen across this dive on Freemont Street, just stroll on by this pack of losers.

Who knows - what they're  inflicted with - may be contagious.

God forbid!

Jim Morrison...light show tribute to Doors @ Vegas Freemont Experience!





It was like a zoo on Freemont street last night as tourists poured into the historical part of downtown Vegas to participate in the summer of 70’s music madness celebration.

Live bands revved up audiences, street vendors managed to entice out-of-towners into snapping up their novel souvenirs of Sin city, and barkeeps kept the booze flowing to quench an unstoppable thirst that was triggered by a tropical heat wave this past week that caused the mercury to soar to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

At dusk, after the sun slipped beyond the horizon a golden ball of fury, the night sky was still thick with a muggy goo that was almost stifling.

By the way, the Freemont Experience is now presenting a dazzling light show at 9 p.m. every evening which features the provocative - at times haunting - rock 'n roll music of legendary Jim Morrison and the Doors.

The madding crowds enthusiastically sang along and danced in the streets last night as they gazed skyward and gobbled up all the delicious sights and sounds the dazzling light extravaganza offered up.

Tonight, I intend to trot back and capture the segment on HD video, with the aim of posting the clip on my YouTube site.

See ‘ya there!

Las Vegas...70's Summer Celebration! Flashback @ Freemont St. experience...








Today, a Summer 70's celebration, kicks off on Freemont Street in downtown Las Vegas.

And with it, 100 days of madness, which will showcase costumed performers, enthusiastic tourists (and locals) festooned in garb from the era - including, but not limited to - paisley shirts, head bands, and the ubiquitous blue jean!

Undoubtedly, there will be a poignant disco flashback or two, that will propel guests back to a more innocent place and time in American history.

The stage, according to one local newsie, is getting "groovy" this very morning.

Saunter down there and check it out, eh?

Every week there will be acts to catch on stage throughout the summer months in the funky old part of Vegas!

A highlight of the festivities is a Classic auto show that revs up on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

Dress up in threads from the era.
 
Lime green pants, anyone?
 
See 'ya there!

Las Vegas...cheap rooms! Summer of 1969 celebrations! Tropical heat wave...





As I breezed through the last stretch of the Mojave Desert and spied Las Vegas - a dazzling gem sparkling in the mid-day sun ahead - I was suddenly hit smack dab in the face with a tropical heat wave.

Whew!

I should have packed a cooler of Marguerite's!

No matter.

Soon, I would be firmly ensconced in my cheapie hotel room ($10 bucks a night!) and ready to take the big splash 'round town.

Sin-city lovers are trickling into town to catch the "Summer of 1969" celebrations underway at the downtown Freemont Street experience.

And, there's a bowling convention!

I expect Big Lebowski fans will be chomping at the bit to score a lucky strike on the lanes in the event they strike out at the slots!

I roared up to the Hotel a bit shy of check-in - at which point - the desk clerk informed me that my room was not ready.

So, I sauntered off to take in a few of the eye-catching sights.

As it turned out, Lady Luck was smiling on me right from the get-go.

When I called the newly-renovated Hotel about an hour later - the clerk noted that although a single room I requested was not made up yet - I was welcome to an upgrade (free of charge).

Would I mind a double-room with two Queen-size beds?

Heck, no!

The wheels started turning inside my mischievous little head.

I'd invite a couple of my friends over for a pajama party!

A few cocktails - and a pillow fight or two later - we'd head out on the town!

Of course, I'd have to dash into Mermaids for a deep-fried oreo or two.

And, line up for the scrumptious buffet offered up each evening at the Sahara, just a hop-and-skip away.

Maybe I'll take in - "The Lion King" - a big hit here right now in the desert playground.

I'll keep you posted, fer sure!
