Ever been ripped off/scammed in Vegas?

I found a really cheap price for a Las Vegas Hotel on Hotwire. When I went to make the reservation, the fine print said they would charge me another $25 bucks when I checked in....and it was for all these extra things I don't use...and it wasn't optional. So, they were lying about the price. Can you imagine a major hotel trying to rip people off like that?

I've got at least 4 other ones that happened in Vegas in my misspent yoot. I'm too embarrassed about those to actually post them on the Internet....as they involve things I may or may not have been doing that may or may not have been legal...technically.

I hope you weren't scammed by one of those unruly street trolls on Fremont.

I look forward to them trying to scam me in December....But in reality, I'll be scamming them.

That is exactly the same strategy I employ. I always stay sober and nurse my beverages very slowly.

I drink a lot in Vegas and reject your strategy.
I'd be with Snidely333.
