One can only imagine how much suck casino-workers have to put up with....

[Digitalpotato]

...yeah so I'm in Vegas on vacation now WOO HOO YEAH BABY YEAH!!

Second time this year. First time I went in January, I had spotted kids hocking loogies into the lobby of the Luxor hotel and saw someone take a shit in a casino garbage can. Holy hell it must have been a sociopath convention or something...explains why we got such good deals.

But now that we're back in June there are not only people who had brought their kids to the museum but college kids as well....When people get drunk, they do stupid things. And apparently they wreak havoc on the casino at night. I spotted numerous ash trays that were snapped in half, broken glasses that carried cocktails and a pile of shit in a corner of the Planet Hollywood hotel. And it was too big to have been from just one person.



For starters I find it odd thta people actually can put alcohol in their mouths letalone drink enough of it for you to get drunk and do stuff like stick gum on the handles of the slot machines. I tried a margarita and it was N-A-S-T-Y. (The aftertaste is still here over 12 hours later) Gimme a Diet Coke...tastes better and the aftertaste doesn't cause Necrosis in my mouth.

And inside the strip, numerous people were just being stupid...like yelling at tourists for clogging up the three-foot-wide sidewalk tey're trying to skateboard in or physically assaulting the slots or video blackjack hoping for a dealer bust or something.

Im guessing you got a crappy margarita (although I think even well made ones are nasty espeically when they are made with bicardi YUCK). To be honest apart from a select few, cocktails are icky tasting. Go with the simple stuff if your new to drinking.

Not all alcohol is equal, I'm a big wino (wine drinker) and even that stuff varies in taste an amazing amount.

Im glad you had a good time in Vegas though! I wanna go for my birthday!

Yeah, margaritas are ick. :P I'm very new to drinking myself (and will probably be stopping eventually, honestly) but my gateway drinks have been mild, sweet, sticky sorts of things, like Bailey's, where yes, I can still really taste the alcohol, but there's not a lot of it and there's other yummy flavors in there too. And ice wine! I love ice wine, I wish it weren't so frigging expensive.

I've tried stuff like coors before or heiniken but considering the smell of alcohol is enough to make me nauseated....

Well, there's your problem right there. Margaritas are made with tequila, not rum.

And when I order it on the rocks, that's how I want it. Don't assume that because I'm female that I really want it frozen.

maybe Im thinking of a daiquri......

either way their are both yuck

[wagegoth]

I don't like sweet and/or slushy drinks.

I like margaritas made with real ingredients, not mixes, made with at least Cuervo Gold (not going to waste the really good stuff on a mixed drink), on the rocks, with salt.

If your margarita left a bad taste in your mouth, it was probably made with really cheap tequila and a mix.


And Diet Coke leaves an extremely nasty taste in my mouth.

By any chance, was this crappy margarita one of those freebies that some places give away every so often to get people in the door? Let's just say the quality of those leaves a lot to be desired.

As for the random piles of poopy and random broken stuff, I can't say I've ever noticed that in any of my trips to Vegas, but then again I didn't go looking for them. About the most memorable thing I saw was some guy drunk way off his ass at the Orleans, swaying and swinging as individual air molecules attacked him from all angles, and laughing and hooting like a loon as the police were trying to talk to him.

All day, I've been fighting the urge to get Margaritas...I'm on a tight budget this week, but I'm interpreting this thread as a divine message.

Off to [Local Mexican-Themed Bar]. BBL.

Excuse me? Excuse me, senor? May I speak to you please? I asked for a mai tai, and they brought me a pina colada, and I said no salt, NO salt for the margarita, but it had salt on it, big grains of salt, floating in the glass...

While you're there, go see Penn & Teller.

Next time, ask for one of the following, depending on your beverage tastes:

Tequila sunrise (Fruity! Stir it slowly before drinking it. The grenadine at the bottom makes it look like a sunrise as it blends!)
Long Island Iced Tea (should taste like TEA)
Strawberry syrup, Vodka, and Red Bull (Should taste fruity/citrus-y)
Wine (start with a smooth, fruity red or a white spumanti if you're not used to wine. Port wines are also nice.)
DiSarono Amaretto (This one's almond-y, and best served on the rocks)
Limoncello, if you can get it. (This is a lemon liquor that's very, very thick, but not icy)
Strawberry Daquiri (This one's good if you like frozen drinks. Ask them to go easy on the rum - I've had some AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL daquiris because they've just DUMPED the rum in)
Kahlua Mudslide/White Russian/Etc (Anything with Kahlua is delicious.)

Tequila is definitely an acquired taste; I don't particularly like margheritas, myself. I think they smell wretched.

Well, Heineken makes me nauseated, too... try drinking a beer.

No, Heineken is not a beer. Neither is Budweiser. Since you probably don't have regular access to the multitude of foamy goodness that is German beer, I'd suggest trying some of the local microbrews available in the US. Samual Adams, for instance, makes great beer.

MoxisPilot has compiled a neat list of cocktails there; I'd add the Zombie to this list, but that's mostly personal preference. As for longdrinks, I choose a Cuba Libre (Rum, Coke, Lime) above all else, or a Wodka-Red Bull for a quick pick-me-up.

The only reason I didn't list Zombie is because...I don't know what it is!

What's in it?

As for Red Bull and Vodka...it makes me so sleepy, and yet so awake! I can only drink it when I bowl.
