Foxys



One of the first questions I asked out loud, to no one in particular, shortly after I arrived in Las Vegas, "How many strip clubs does one town need?"

Hotel Formerly Known as Hilton



As of January 3rd, 2012, the licensing deal that Colony Park Resorts (owner of the former Las Vegas Hilton) had with the Hilton hotel company has expired.

The building is now known as Las Vegas Hotel (LVH) and Casino.

Waiting to see how it looks on the sign.




I took the shot above in January of 2011.

Family

I just don't know what to make of this...

"The family that pees together..."?

"Family Time Out"?

"The Final Solution"?

"The Don's Locker"?

Why We Ride

This is why we ride bikes. So we can ignore signs like this.


Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.

-Hunter S. Thompson


Dedicated to the other side of Las Vegas, namely; the sprawling, mad, incoherent underpinnings of the world's favorite destination.

That, and the occasional ranting about nothing in particular.
