The Gold Coast has created what they call the “Hippie Pit” and no, this is not a place where old stoners are sent after they die but rather an area decked out with psychedelic colors, tie dyed t shirts on the dealers and a steady beat of 1960s rock. We are all of a certain age that remembers these tunes from High School. I didn’t end up a winner so it wasn’t groovy, far-out or out-of-sight."


Hey Paul, I never noticed the "Hippie Pit" in January when i played BJ at the Gold Coast. I wonder if this is just on Friday and Saturday nights? (I was there on a Thursday night.) Anyway, i think it sounds fun as late 60's is my favorite music - i will DEFINITELY check it out on my next trip!!

Thanks for the very FUNNY Trip Report - sounds like alot of fun!!!

Thanks Gail,

Fun indeed. By happy circumstances, I will be attending a conference in April in Las Vegas at the Paris. Naturally I will be coming in a day early and leaving a day later- at the Gold Coast.
My HR manager and CFO will be with me so the festivities will be muted. (trying to set a good example)
