^ search the Westgate Sports book on Google Images.

The horsey rows are hard to see or not visible in above pics, but all the better books have rows and rows of stations for horse players only w/ your chair, personal screen, interactive betting, drink service, etc. You'd worship.

Only done Vegas once and it was a work conference. So haven't experienced it at all really.

Quite a few guys were out their per diem really quick out there though.

The Top Golf out there always posts good instagrams :fire::fire::fire:

That is the beauty of Vegas, there is something for everybody.

Just bring lots of money, you can pretty much do whatever.

I'm usually all for de-legislation, but I'm so glad that sports books only exist in Vegas. I'd be in big trouble if these were a 'thing'. This is coming from a guy that already wastes hundreds a year on Bovada and cashes in checks from Swiss banks. :pray:

We're also doing top golf Saturday during day on this next trip. Decided to forego the day club as last time it left us all in shambles and made Saturday night worthless. But the day will likely never be topped. Shew.

Larry has a wife and grandkids which makes his behavior even creepier. He tweeted the other day that they were going to have the newest women's player on WLAP Sunday morning and it took everything that I had not to tweet back to "not be creepy".

-What about Niballi getting abused in the Giro? Man that guy is a little *****. Should be some fireworks the next 2 days but Kruijswijk has looked cool as a cucumber.
So this guy is the guy I said was "cool as a cucumber", not exactly what I meant. LOL, he crashed into a massive snow bank and it essentially cost him a huge lead in a Grand Tour. Be like blowing a double digit lead in the final four. Extremely rare as well. Meanwhile the little ***** won the stage. Not over but got wild as predicted.

James over 4.5 FTs MADE. Seems like that's bound to happen. Can't see him trying to shoot his way to a win in a closeout game.

Agree with mossip though, I don't need that temptation to spend HOURS every major sports weekend in a sportsbook. I mean, it's all about self-control which I'm pretty good at, but damn that's a good time.

My wife is currently scrolling through the on screen guide DVR'ing random ****** Disney movies because there's apparently a Disney Movie Marathon this weekend. Not like Pirates of the Caribbean, but rather the awful made for TV movies.

Caught the Rangers/Pirates tonight in a nice suite. Ended up talking more than watching. Nice stadium that they've renovated a couple of times since it opened in 94. Gonna build a new one though.

Yeah, the Thunder have turned back into the Thunder. 3-4 times last night Durant/Westbrook just threw terrible shots toward the basket hoping for a foul call. Guess it worked for them a couple times, but in the 4th you have to go up with the intention to score, not just to get fouled. Not sure why Billy has limited Kanter limits so much either, he and Adams can play together some - and the Warriors can't keep them off the boards when that happens.

Memorial Day weekend is sort of a conflict of interests and emotions. Recognizing our servicemen and women killed in action is a solemn "holiday," but it's also the true opening weekend of summer, and that's worth celebrating.

I mean, I'm going to get rip roaring drunk tonight at a cookout, but I feel like I "know better" and feel a slight level of guilt about it.

I'd like to think our fallen heroes would want me to enjoy, but that's quite an intellectual leap that I'm not prepared to make.

I think the Feds probably had good intentions with the scheduling, but it's tough to compete with summer. As an aside, I give the founding fathers too much credit for the July 4 Declaration signing. I mean, that was serendipitous genius. Perfect timing, really.

Middle of the summer. The founding fathers were probably sitting on a patio somewhere in Philly...a few brews deep...and finally said eff it...eff the British and their cold grey rainy skies and taxes. Its July 4th and 85 and sunny and we are going to go out on our own. Shoot off some fireworks. Eat some hot dogs. Invent baseball. Bake an apple pie.

Absolutely genius.

I'm almost positive that every single servicemember who died in some godforsaken foreign land would tell you "The important thing is that you thought of me. Thank you. Now get drunk enough for the both of us and, hopefully, have enough of a good time that your wife is passive aggressive until at least Thursday."

But with no Memorial Day holiday, is this weekend still the official/unofficial start of summer? Last weekend in May seems right, holiday or not tbh. Can't deny what a Monday off means though.

They want you to enjoy it, just as they did whenever they got a long weekend break from the grind of the military...have fun and do 'Merica stuff like grilling out.

Our servicemen fell fighting to preserve the American way of life, and I think it would serve to dishonor their memory if you didn't get after it. Just think about the sacrifice they made for a moment so you can enjoy your freedom, and then go enjoy being alive in the good ol' USA.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm on a boat. This little place known as Crab Island.

Happy Memorial Day:americanflag::americanflag::americanflag:

-Busiest weekend of the year for us. So it's a throw away weekend for me as far as entertainment or relaxing. Very important for work. In 7:30-8 Friday, 7:30-8:30 Saturday, Same for today and all employees required to work tomorrow.

However, if I were available to throw down I'd have no guilt enjoying my freedom as Bob said.

-So, honestly, would you be in the gorilla pit if your 4 year old climbed in or standing on the sideline? I'd assume the correct response is find the zoo keeper ASAP as threatening the big son of ***** would likely cause chaos but that would be a tough restraint. How does a zoo not have that area setup to prevent a damn 4 year old from crawling in? Another in a LONG LONG line of dumbass failures by the City of Cincinnati.

You have to go in if its your child. I don't see how you don't. Probably not even a decision, more instinctual.
Kind of what I was thinking. Although in theory that's likely the worst thing you could do by startling or threatening the gorilla.

Also, I know mashburn is being facetious, but unfortunately you have to shoot the gorilla.

Also, also, I think of all people Clay Travis pointed this out, but keeping an eye on multiple 4 year old kids is a task. Easy to blame the parents but it doesn't sound like they were dangling him over the edge.

How did they not have the proper precautions in place to keep a 4-year old from worming their way through? In the past 2-3 weeks,

1) a woman was bitten by a 2-ft nurse shark in Florida because she and her idiot friends were agitating it and picking it up by the tail. It clamped down on her arm and wouldn't let go.

2) some idiots in Yellowstone put a baby bison in their car because they thought it was cold, thus separating it from the herd. Once reunited with the herd, the mother and others rejected it, so the calf was euthanized. Still don't know why they didn't just send the calf to some kind of rescue instead.

3) 4 year old climbs into a gorilla enclosure and a 17-year old gorilla is killed.

Conclusion - people are miserable.

Not as bad as the guy who jumped in the lion cage about as week ago, intending to get mauled to death, and instead they shot the lions to save his stupid ***. Yeah you've got to protect a toddler but especially in the case of the lions, you're killing the animal for doing what it's supposed to do.

Still don't talk to my old neighbor who thumped the baby rabbits to death with his old law books so they wouldn't grow up and eat his plants. Touch you dude, they're not doing anything wrong. Either learn to live with it, protect your plants better, or worst case just pick them up and put them somewhere else. I do take my dogs walking by his house and do my best to guide them to pee on his lawn and/or plants when possible.

Don't forget the spring break ******** who dragged out the baby dolphin, passed it around for facebook selfies, then tossed it down on sand to slowly and miserably die

At the Louisville zoo, the gorillas are behind reinforced plexiglass in a huge interior room. I was in there with the ex on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed wall to wall with little mewling kids and their parents.

Because it was cramped and the zoo let people get all the way up to the glass, little kids would inevitably peck on the glass and try to mess with the gorillas. The alpha gorilla had a solution for this. Every time someone irritated him, he would walk over and punch the glass hard enough that you could see the plexigass flex and strain. Sorted that problem out quickly and was horrifying in the little room.

Also, Ol' Dude started getting friendly with the female gorilla in the enclosure at one point and all the kiddos started asking their parents what the gorillas were doing.

Just when then awkward answers were at their peak, the alpha rolled over and proceeded to get an epically lascivious rimjob inches from the viewing glass. I'm talking a full two-hand spread by the lady gorilla and serious commitment.

Cleared the room right out.

I'm glad that gorilla didn't get shot. In some respects, he's my hero tbh.

Guilt stricken civilians can get pumped, thoroughly. You can love your country, appreciate our servicemen, and enjoy the hell out of your day off, too. These aren't mutually exclusive, d bags. In fact, this sounds like some ******** topic that may come up on The View tomorrow.

So yeah, GFY. If you'd like to me to send you a personalized invite, please toward me your email. Thanks.
