Missed connection - Siena at Double Down

I met you on Friday, November 29, at the Double Down Saloon. We were both from out of town. You were there with your brother, Jordan, and your younger sister, Flora. I bought you a drink and we talked for a bit. You introduced me to Montucky Cold Snacks.

You were about to leave when you kissed me on the cheek. That was the highlight of my entire trip.

I followed you outside and talked to you and Jordan while you waited for a ride. Jordan told me that you were in town for a family reunion. You said that you might go back to the Double Down the next night and asked me whether I'd be there. I said that I'd be there if you'd be there. You said that you'd probably get there at around 10:00 P.M.

I misjudged how much time I had before your driver arrived. I went inside to close my tab, and when I went back outside you were gone. I should have asked you for your phone number, but I am a naïve dimwit.

I went back to the bar the next night at about 9:30 and stayed until about 2:30 A.M., but I didn't see you. Maybe I should take the hint, but instead I hope that you or someone who knows you sees this and you respond so I can talk to you at least one more time.

Orig planning drive from Vegas to Monument Valley (Utah).. need alternative plan

I was going to do the 6.5 hour drive to Monument Valley, spend a couple nights and then drive back. I had always wanted to spend more time there. I briefly visited for a day some years back.

Anyways, I recently suffered a retina detachment in one of my eyes and just had a major emergency surgery. Although I can drive now (I tested it).. but I dunno if I can do the 14 hour drive I was originally planning from Vegas. :(

Any suggestions on other grand trips outside Vegas I could do for about 3 nights? I was thinking Zion but would prefer less crowded. Also, looking for a place that would have hotels that aren't too expensive.

Also thinking about Death Valley, since weather will be warmer in Dec. and warmer would be nice.. but don't see any hotels next to Death Valley.. just looking for normal hotels.. not rustic and not fancy.

Although I badly wanted to go back to Monument Valley.. I think that's just too many hours driving from Vegas especially with my eye in a painful condition.. so would love other suggestions on where to visit for nature that's closer.. but at the same time I want to spend at least 3 nights somewhere outside of Vegas.

TIA

Pinky’s by Vanderpump Opening?

Does anyone know if Pinky’s at the Flamingo is actually opening any time soon? I saw a few YouTube videos that said maybe December 5th, but there has been nothing official. I am going to Vegas in mid December so I’m wondering if there is any chance I would be able to have some drinks there.

Thanks!

can you help me?

I got bullied by an MGM ticket kiosk seller at the airport car rental center, can you help me get a phone number for the kiosk?

It's an odd story, with a massive overreacting on the guy's part. He bullied me, and when I pulled out my phone, he tried to fight me. So I want some way to report him to his work. I tried google and MGM phone but its just an airport kiosk and I had no luck. Can you think of another way to get the phone number or email of that kiosk?

Here's the crazy full story if ur so inclined:

The was clearly showing off to his female co-workers, ignoring my at least three polite no thankyou's as I walked to my rental car. I just walked away but that wasn't enough for him, and he said "Hey, you dropped something." To which I turned around, and him and the two women were really laughing it up. I said the best line possible, I still can't believe it didn't take me until two days later in the shower or something. I walked back and said "With a face like yours, you need to be funny."

Again, I'm not a professional comic but the situation was so loaded, it brought the house down, so to speak. All the women co-workers burst out laughing hugely, and between guffaws, one of the ladies said "He got you good!"

So yeah, end of story right? Not with this guy. He kept heckling me with the same line a few times, which ignored but I stopped when he accused ME of being mean. Firstly, I bet that guy does the "you dropped something," a ton of times to confused tourists walking. Getting laughs at a stranger's expense is rude at best, and bullying at worst. So I pull out my phone and walk back to try and get his name and face on video to report to his boss, as that's totally inappropriate behavior for work. I only ,make it halfway back cuz he starts running at me.

I'm not sure what prompting him to do that, but he tried to fight me over his ego getting hurt. He said a joke, and I said a joke, nothing of that warrants a verbal sparring of any kind much less a physical threat. He got literally one foot away from me yelling "what are you going to do?" "what are you going to do?" This simple conflict has now escalated into illegal threat of assault. My phone is recording and he realizes so he says "I'm came over to give you my business card." Not a bad lie on the spot actually, but he ruins his act within moments by saying "You're a coward, baby girl and other weird insults."

So yeah I just want the phone number to that kiosk as I've left town already, that's the first step, before I post the video online or send it to MGM corporate.

I don't want to send the video to social media because even though I'm in the right, I just don't want random people seeing an angry side of me. Cuz this guy really must have lost his mind, or just thought I wouldn't do anything, but I'm a big guy, taller than him by two inches, and I could compete well at a regional bodybuilding competition and this guy, was maybe twenty or so pounds less than me, and a lot softer. So I accepted his offer. We are now going to fight. I know it's always dumb and dangerous to get into a physical confrontation, but I felt so many eyes on me, including my wife's and i thought "I'll look like a coward if let him speak to me like that." I obviously should have just keep recording and no one would expect a customer to be forced into combat by a ticket tout. But I accepted, hoping he wasn't an MMA fighter or something, but I needed worry. The second we got outside, he became small like ball. "I'm not going outside I'm at work!" And a bunch of nonsense like that.

Talk about a fake tough guy. So nothing left to do but go to my car, and he starts in again after we go inside, the only thing energetic about the douche was his mouth. "You were scared, you wouldn't have done anything!" I just explained the video doesn't lie, and that pretty much was it. For the record, I was really bullied a lot, growing up and when he originally got in my face, I got the flight or fight response and my heart started pounding, so I didn't have as clear thinking as I wanted.

That's it, I just want accountability and to stop him from doing that to someone else, what could I do from here?

We ate at Oscar’s and we ate at Golden Steer. We preferred Oscar’s. Anyone else feel this way?

Golden Steer has this massive reputation. It may take months to get a reservation at Golden Steer. However, we prefer Oscar’s. The food was just as good at Oscar’s. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. The staff is just as welcoming and prepared.

What has been your experience?

Thank you, Las Vegas. One of the greatest sunrises I have ever seen in my entire lifetime!

Drove from Kingman north just as the sun was rising this morning and it was absolutely astonishing. Remarkable spectacular beyond amazing! In every direction, the sky was on fire peach mango. The suns were pink then guava then watermelons 360° of amazement. It was like the sphere but 1 million times better!

College student looking for furnished Studio or Extended stay.

Hello all, I am looking for an extended stay hotel in Vegas. I am starting university there next month. I was looking for a furnished studio but the prices are close to extended stay hotels so I thought, I might as well stay at the extended stay and get utilities paid for.What do you guys think? Have anyone of you stayed at an extended stay hotel while going to college? Was it worth it ?

30 day treasure hunt in Mojave National Preserve starts Dec 28th!

A 1oz gold coin (1988 American Eagle) will be placed and whoever finds it gets to keep it- clues will come out daily on YouTube. Mojave National Preserve is about an hour outside Vegas (and technically the park is in California) If you are interested I can post more details in the comments and link other photos/videos that explain how it works. But bottom line, there is a real gold coin laying in the desert for you to grab, and someone will get it in 30 days or less.
