In your answer for QoD 11/12/08 you used the term 86'd. What does that mean and were did it originate?

On my last trip to Vegas, I lost my driver's license on the first day. I soon learned that it's extremely difficult to survive in Vegas without picture ID. I needed it to check into the hotel, to do any transaction at the player's club, to use my credit card anywhere, etc. Luckily, I had a scan of it on my computer and I printed it out. For the most part, it was accepted by people once I explained that I lost my driver's license. But I was cautioned more than once that if I hit a jackpot, the casino would only accept a real ID as proof. So if this ever happens to me again, what are my alternatives? By the way, on my last night, someone turned in my driver's license to casino security and I got it back. It would have been nicer to get it back a few days earlier, but at least I got it back.

A bunch of high school buddies are all turning 21 in the next few months and we’re coming to Vegas over Christmas to tear up the town. One of the girlfriends claims that the cops bust guys for getting too close to strippers in topless clubs. I can’t believe this. I mean, Las Vegas? C’mon! She insists it’s true, but I think she’s just trying to scare us off. What’s the real deal out there?
