What happened in Vegas used to stay there...

Wynn hotel, 60th floor

Sorry for the late update, but my computer has been in a vegetative state since I've been in Spain (power cord does not fit into the outlets over here). Apparently there are standards other than those of the U.S., who would have thought??

Well me and my brother went to Vegas to celebrate his birthday just before I left the states. I must relay a story from Vegas that was hilarious. Hopefully others will find the hilarity in it also, and it won't be one of those "you had to be there" tales.

So me and my brother decided to grab some food after a late night at Tryst. It must have been around 4:30am and Denny's was calling our name. Oh, not the clean/new/un-ghetto Denny's on the modern strip, but the broke down Denny's on the old strip (it was closer and my bro was starving). We grabbed a table, got our food, and tried not send it back up the way it came down. As I was eating, I noticed a bum outside Denny's that was harrassing two girls at a table behind ours. I found nothing terribly unusual about this, considering the location, and was kinda amused. The girls started to get flustered as the guy took off his shirt and started rubbing his stomach, and I just laughed harder.

I thought this would be the extent of the entertainment, but no, this is Vegas and there was a Vegas ending. The bum started to walk away, and the girls continued with their meal. I thought the vagabond was leaving, but he started to walk into the Denny's. He came in, did not wait to be seated and headed over to the girls table (shirt off and no shoes). The girls jumped up out of their seats and cowered in the back of the restuarant. The bum gets to their table, and beigns eating one of the girls hamburgers, and then fries. One of the girls yells, sarcastically, "you can just have it all!" The bum mumbles something along the line of, "thanks", takes her plate and leaves.

At this point I know I'm slightly inebriated, along with everyone else, so it took us a minute to register what the hell just happened. But, yes, a bum took advantage of all of our slow reaction time and swooped in on a free meal (I obviously would have tried to stop him if my legs were still talking to my brain). That's cut throat capitalism if I've ever seen it. God bless America!
