a question about bar slang and something that sounds lewd
Just made a reservation for a boss at a certain hotel in a certain casino town. Two items popped out at me as I browsed their site. The phrase "pub crawl" and a link to a web cam called the "pink taco cam."

Now, "pink taco cam" sounds terribly lewd. Someone tell me it refers to something other than what it sounds like.

And what on earth is a "pub crawl?"

Thanks.

1. Pub crawl
is a term similar to bar-hopping. As in "crawling from pub to pub."

No clue about the pink taco cam, though!

3. A pub crawl is just another name for barhopping...
...usually by college students celebrating something.

10. I think I figured it out
I vaguely remembered that there is a club/restaurant in Las Vegas called the Pink Taco. Perhaps this web cam is to watch that club?

9. The Pink Taco Cam
is a web camera set up in the Hard Rock Cafe's Pink Taco restaurant/bar.

From what I found online, there are a lot of them in Vegas. I would assume you could use them to see what places are hopping, etc.

13. what a funny post, Bertha!
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 02:06 PM by Flaxbee
LOL, I'm laughing like mad b/c "pink taco cam" sounds so very lewd and it's one of those things that I'd be laughing hysterically over if I'd come across it at work. LOL! I've heard of pub crawls, simply b/c people at my grad school would organize pub crawls so people could drink a lot and check out many different bars in one night (I never went on one, I always had visions of people crawling through beer-induced puke and somehow that didn't appeal); never ever heard of the restaurant/bar the Pink Taco. And no one will ever be able to convince me that there is no double meaning intended. Never.

edited for clarity

I hope this doesn't get me into trouble, it is not a sex reply, but apparently Playboy compared (compares?) a certain part of a woman's anatomy to that bar in Las Vegas. Ha ha.

edited to make sure this was a PG-rated post
