why do people need to shoot each other for absolutely no reason? these punks can't even put lead on target from ten feet away...

people who use guns in the commission of a crime should get 20 years in prison minimum...

I was down there last night. I couldn't stand the noise of all the bands. I don't know why all the music in Vegas has to be so LOUD! Not only is it bad for our ears. you can't even understand the words!

I had a woman ask me for some money on Fremont Street a couple of years ago. I told her I didn't have any cash. She said she was hungry. I had bought my daughters 6 Krispy Creams while I was there. I offered her a donut. After I gave her one, she asked for another. I figured she needed them more than me, so I gave her the rest,

I knew she wasn't buying drugs so it couldn't hurt to give her food.

The signs they hold up are getting more creative. One guy had one that said "Broke. Need gas money for my Lamborghini" and another said "Family kidnapped by ninjas, need 50 cents for karate lessons."

The music in Fremont is loud, yes, but that is how live music is. And the more people drink, the louder it gets.

I do wish they would rotate the bands out more though. I was just there for four nights and the same band played 3 of the four. They were good the first time, okay the second time, and I didn't even bother the third. Also the bands need to vary or at least rearrange their set list. It was the same show each time, exact same order.

It would be nice to see more bathrooms, but the casinos wouldn't like that. The want people to have to make their way through the gaming floor to pee, hoping they will stop and put some money in a slot on the way.

I think I agree thats it's too loud and garbled. A concert in a place thats designed for it like an amphitheater or stadium is one thing, but how its set up now, its like a concert in a tin can. And the bands just use their outdoor concert settings not realizing they arent actually outside.

This shooting and the type of cretins carrying it out were exactly what I was talking about in my earlier post on this thread.
