1. Too bad the Wedding Chapels won't be cashing in...

After all, a State that permits prostitution has to stand up for Family Values...

2. I sampled the "gay scene" at Vegas once.

Dreary. I'd have thought they'd have several nice places for GLBT folks, but the three places I went to seemed sad. Hopefully, your mileage will vary, and since I've already seen Vegas, I don't plan on going back. {{SHUDDER}}
