More Las Vegas fun from Lissa Townsend Rodgers.

This time the topic is noir and Las Vegas, two of my favorite subjects. I'm not sure about the "Hard Hat Lounge" though since it's located smack dab in the Naked City, one of Vegas's sketchiest neighborhoods. You might want to proceed with caution on that one.

Actually I just got back from Vegas last weekend. Here's my trip report.

1. Had drinks at Atomic Liquors and Dino's Lounge. Did not make it to Frankie's this time out. Sorry, neo-tiki takes a back seat to historic dive bars for me.

2. Rolled 6 consecutive points at the craps table at the Palms !! Later a drunken club kid in a tight black dress threw up strawberry margarita (from what I could tell) in front of me in the cab line.

3. Saw a fight break out in the middle of Binion's casino. What happens when a drunken white trash vagrant uses a racial expletive towards a corn-rowed low pants hanging gang-banger type person? I'll tell you - the fists start flying. Security sure took their sweet time to break it up.

4. Missed the Danny Gans show again. :( Now I'll never have that chance. I made the same mistake when I kept putting off seeing Don Ho in all my countless trips to Oahu.
