I thought this was funny as all get out. Obviously, this shows that the people at the bass and pro shop have a sense of humor and aren't above playing to a very real possibility. It was obviously a tongue-in-cheek poke at the realities of going to Vegas for the gaming, running out of money, and wanting stick around a bit longer. If I have missed the mark, feel free to correct me, but I thought it was clever.

Actually I looked up the phone number using a reverse lookup on the web. It belongs to Bait & Tackle LLC, and adult film company. Just google "Bait and tackle LLC Las Vegas" and you can find it. According to igorinternational.com, they were hired to name the company.

Does anything really top the once ubiquitous "no ifs, ands, or ..." Crazy Girls signs?

Ahhhhh those billboards dont bother me much. That ain't sleeze.

What really bothers me are those illegal aliens handing out the cards and brochures for sex. I am not for any kind of censorship or govt control of any kind. But what they do is just wrong.

They dont care if you have a woman in one arm and 2 kids in the other, they stuff the brochure under your arm forcefully.

That bothers me more then the billboards.

Right you are, lvknight. I stand corrected. Well, as they say at their site: "You'll never look at fishing supply stores in quite the same way."

My then 4-yr. old son got a kick out of that billboard everyday when we passed it driving to his daycare at Palace Station. Lovely.

A couple years ago, the Hard Rock was ordered by the "state" to take down its "racy" billboards---and their retort was very clever----can't find a photo though: HotelChatter || New Hard Rock billboard: A cartoon cat, two rabbits, and a wood chewing beaver

I absolutely hate that!

My family hasn't been back to Las Vegas since 2003, because the last time we were there we kept getting accosted by these illegals handing out quartercards for hookers. They were giving them to my 14 year old brother as well. If it wasn't for that, Las Vegas is actually a pretty decent place for a family holiday.

The problem is the employers. And the employers are neither hispanic or illegal. And I doubt very much that you know the hispanics involved are, in fact, illegal.

There have been multiple attempts to ban the practice all of which have been overturned by the federal courts as a violation of the Constitution. It is simply protected speech.

You, and yours would perhaps find a Disney vacation more to your liking.
