So I'm visiting Vegas in 2 months , to engage in the fine debauchery that town offers, sans gambling: I lose completely in games of chance ( Read more... )

Some real practical advice then.
1) Wrap all you are bringing in plastic, or use large clear plastic bags. They can check things without having to completely unpack your stuff. "Space Bags" are a good idea, if you have a few $$$ to get some.

2) Go early, and make yourself known to the security. Deliberately draw POLITE (yeah right) attention to the fact that you have a number of body piercings. You may get a pass to the front of the line just so they can get past you and on to the real problem children.

3) Be understanding. These people tend to make less than they deserve for putting up with a lot of miserable people. Don't be one of them. Hey, they can be just a toxic as you. :)

4) Send stuff ahead and pick it up. The less that has to go through security, the better. Not to mention the less chance of it being lost.

I'm beggining to think that satire is a lost cause.

Perhaps so. Giving consideration to a trip out to the West Coast in January, though, and the concerns about airport security these days aren't unreasonable.

It isn't satire when it really happens. :(

I always considered flight to be a form of borrowing from the loanshark that is gravity; every once in a while we have to get our knees broken to remind us who's the boss.

Vegas is an interesting place, though it's hard to spend that much time there without coin. Not as weird as the movie version in some ways, but altogether stranger in others.

Gamble a little bit. They really don't like you if you don't gamble even a little bit. They have some nice cheap machines, where even if you loose it doesn't add up to more then a dollar.

*grinz* If it is at all like when I was a kid (born there) you are gonna have a great fucking time. Oh yeah and get ready to see slot machines EVERYWHERE.

Have Fun!
