Viva Laughlin - Beyond Tiki

I don't know how anyone is supposed to get an impression of what Laughlin is like when the show bearing its name seems to take place mostly in small, confined, indoor spaces. Heaven forbid they show the waterfront, or the boating scene, or the casinos along the strip. No, best to confine it to unidentifiable indoor set locations and stultifying dialogue. Yeah, that's the ticket to success! OK, I've got a bit of local pride here. It's not like we're going to have another TV show named after us any time soon. I was thinking, a TV cop show based in Laughlin -- well, there'll be chase scenes with women in bikinis on jetskis racing along with the casinos in the background, and stuff like that. No matter how silly the show is, they'll have lots of opportunities to use that sort of fun in the sun - type imagery. So easy and inexpensive to do. But no. Trust me, here's some fun: enter "viva laughlin" in Google News and see what you get (time sensitive). Sample headline: "Hugh, what a stinker - it's the lamest show on earth."
