Okay, they go to jail, but still \u2026 they totally capture the couponer zeitgeist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this is the kind of thing that drives Anthony crazy and \u201cruins it for the rest of us.\u201d Agreed. Last year, in one example of this, a bar released a coupon that was too good to be true. Anthony warned them it would be a problem and sadly, it\u2019s not always fun being right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, <em>Queenpin<\/em> is a very fun movie with the ever-perky Kristen Bell and a small part for Vince Vaughan, who just looks \u2026 tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing it back around to Vegas, some buds were there for CES. One called, then said he\u2019d get back to me after dinner; they were eating at some Gordon Ramsey place. I knew I wouldn\u2019t hear from them again, being their big night in Vegas. I did receive a \u201cSorry, I\u2019ll text you later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I replied, \u201cEveryone\u2019s drunk or getting there, you\u2019re trying to decide what strip club to go to, and you\u2019ve lost your buy-in twice at the tables. It\u2019s okay, John \u2014 you\u2019re in Vegas. Enjoy yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was, not surprisingly, right on all fronts. But things really took off when his buddy\u2019s wife said, \u201cLet\u2019s go see some titties.\u201d Why couldn\u2019t I have married a girl like that? You\u2019ll find out in a hot minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know lap dances at Sapphire are now like $300 for 15-20 minutes? Well, John Boy paid for three. No wonder Vegas is making so much money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That reminds me of one of my only other strip club stories. I&#8217;m not a strip club guy, but a client demanded I take him to Spearmint Rhino. There, he proceeded to tell the girls he was a plastic surgeon from New York City, thinking of relocating to Vegas. He had a lot of interesting \u201cinteractions\u201d with the ladies, asking him to evaluate their boob jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this, in a way, brings me all the way back to the greatest coupon I never used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was years ago and I saved it, but couldn\u2019t find it when I was writing this post. I know it wasn\u2019t from the Member Rewards Book. It might\u2019ve been from <em>American Casino Guide<\/em>. Wherever it came from, it was for a free lap dance! No kidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just love the absurdity of asking some lovely for a lap dance and handing her a coupon! OMG!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s the beauty of \u2026 Well, there are many things about this concept that are beautiful.
