About the HOB and the Line Situation

I live in LV and have been to many a HOB show. Because Morrisey is an all ages show the casino will make you line up outside the HOB on the North Side of the hotel. This really sucks because that means if you are twenty one+ you can walk through the casino but when you get to the HOB they make you walk outside and then back up the God Damn stairs. At this point you will be separated into the boy/girl line for a friendly frisk. Alcohol is okay to drink outside and of course they card you out there and give you a wrist band. Sometimes they keep the bar area closed off to those under 21 but I guess it depends on the act other times you can run amok with alcohol like at the Offspring show. Also the walk from the HOB (of which they will make you use the outside exits when the show is over because of the kids/casino issue)is so not convenient to your parking space. I've taken a camera in to just about every show and they seem pretty lenient. Its a freaking tourist town, who doesn't bring a camera? Sometimes you can avoid the walk outside by saying your a hotel guest and depending on the neck at the entrance you can avoid the walk around. PS. Rumjungle has a dresscode. Everyone looks like Tom Cruise or Buffy. Also a fun place is O'sheas on the Strip right past the Flamingo - they've got $1 beers and $1.25 well drinks. I know someone threw up on the northwest corner barstool so steer clear. A totally hip freaky place to drink (where people look nowhere near Tom or Buffy) is the Double Down Saloon on Swenson and Harmon. The walls are completely covered with all kinds of stuff and the bar policy is "you puke you clean" This place shows all kinds of freaky porn and wacked videos all over. I saw the "banned from television" crap in there. They also have those kiddie rides like the ones in front of Kmart inside too. Sometimes chicks ride them provacatively and its kinda funny.
