Ever wonder where the taxes you pay on your Las Vegas hotel room go? Well, some of them underwrite brilliant ideas like this one:
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and its resort and hospitality partners are encouraging everyone -- your employees, suppliers, neighbors, family and friends -- to wear blue on May 12 to show support for travel and tourism. Blue is an official color of the State of Nevada and this simple gesture will show your pride in our community.
No joke, that is an official LVCVA proclamation. People actually get paid to sit around and think up beyond-meaningless ("puerile" is more like it) gestures like that. So if you just happen to squeeze into a pair of blue jeans on May 12 you're supporting travel and tourism! But if you're merely traveling to or touring Nevada, I guess you're just an ambulatory collection plate from which LVCVA salaries -- and juicy lifetime contracts for R&R Partners -- are subsidized.
When do we start slapping blue ribbons on our cars to show our support for the tourism effort?
Perhaps they could convince the cast of "Crazy Girls" to wear blue thongs!
