Reply #24: I'd be surprised if 3% of the people at that concert lived in Vegas.

Our city gets 35 million tourists a year. Those concert goers were a representation of the ignorant slobs that make up "the heartland," here on vacation to screw a few hookers and lose the family nest egg before returning to their fundy churches to ask Jeebus for forgiveness.

Don't get me wrong - Vegas brings this shit on itself. I have a friend who works at Nobu restaurant in the Hard Rock. This is a restaurant where two people are lucky to get out the door for less than $300. Since the "what happens here stays here" TV campaign began, Nobu is seeing a steady stream of assholes who feel they can do whatever they want anywhere in Vegas with no consequence. People arrive at the door and demand "a fucking table...now." Girls get up on the tables after dinner and bare their breasts. Not the kind of activity a high-class big-ticket restaurant is used to, to say the least.
