   Re: Strange sights in Vegas?
Okay, here's another couple of sights. And I have four witnesses.

First was an electric mobility scooter that helps people get around. This particular one looked normal except it was a two seater. There was an extension out of the back with another seat on it so two could ride. It's probably not as "strange" as it is unique (to me), and a darn good idea since there is probably a demmand for it. Why didn't I think of it? In addition to the rumble seat, it had a cover to it, lights, and mirrors. That was one decked out scooter. I'll bet the ramp agents cringe when that couple travels by air.

The other was a guy with his hands in his pockets. Pretty disgusting sight in the Wynn Dot in front of god of everybody. Maybe he was just jingling quarters in his pocket.

Don't know if this was a strange sighting as much as a strange listening. While waiting for our rental car at Valet, some white trash woman is having a very loud conversation on her cell phone, telling the guy on the other end she's moving out, and she's not paying any portion of the rent.
Maybe it's just me, but it struck me as odd, doing this by phone outside a casino that you just visited for all the world to hear. This woman was teary eyed, but when valet came back, she was all about giving the valet heck for taking so long!
Maybe it was just a bad day for her???

What a coincidence, Lee ... I was hanging out at a DB machine by the elevators at Sam's tonight and got to hear what may have been the same trash woman chewing someone out on her cell phone while waiting for the elevator. The guy showed up a couple of moments later, and they continued their loving discussion before he stomped off to the casino while she headed upstairs. There was almost an instant replay with the next couple that showed up for the elevator --same ending too.

As I was taking the moving sidewalk into the Mirage near Caesars today, I saw a black guy with blue jeans and a white T-shirt walking through the pond picking up quarters that people through into the water. This was about 2pm on a bright day, and this guy was stealing from charities. How low can one go? And this guy wasn't just taking all the money, he was selectively picking out the larger silver colored coins. When I got into the casino, I called security on a house phone.

The guy behind me said it was the strangest thing he ever saw. I guess he doesn't read this forum.<g>

Had to add this. Back in the day when I was still riding Cat Bus, I was sitting at the bus stop off of Boulder Highway and Mojave when a guy on a motorcycle rode past me wearing a helmit with rear view mirrors ducktaped to the helmit. They stuck out long and far so he could see in them.

On another day the same stop a man in an old convertable cadillac had the top down and huge scubba diving goggles on as he drove down the road.

Wow, DLH, you must really be enjoying looking back through the old threads!

Thanks for reviving this one - maybe some folks have seen some more strange things in the past two years.

Don't know if this is strange - but I saw a family at red rock canyon,at the highest point overlook, and the teen son was throwing rocks at the joshua tree. The parents did not seem too concerned. They then asked me if I would take their picture, for their Christmas card. I said sure - as long as you get your son to stop throwing rocks at the tree, so other families can have their picture taken in front of it in the future. They were surprised, but immediately reprimanded him. Then they all smiled for the photo!
