Okay. So the Palms hosted some young twirps filming The Real World television show and got lots of young twirp visitors with money as a result.
Now OShxxx is hosting some snakes for a television show and they expect what? Some cobra to show up with its human-skin purse?

Has that cage a heating? Since it’s winter in Vegas and snakes are cold blooded animals they’ll move as fast as the bus on the Strip on a weekend with better visitor numbers.

Rex, you should gather some questions from your readers and ask them on our behalf. I’m sure we could come up with some intelligent and interesting questions that would make you a TV star.

“It seems to be something that is better confined to a laboratory or a zoological park. The choice of venue is a tiny bit confusing, but hey, Vegas sells (see: The Hangover).

“Venom in Vegas” probably sounds better than “Venom on the 8th floor of St. Vincent’s Animal Research Center”, so hopefully it will work out ratings-wise.”

“O’Sheas Casino will host “Venom in Vegas” in the alley that sits between O’Sheas Casino and Margaritaville, directly across from Caesars Palace. Filming will be 24 hours a day and a schedule of educational presentations will be released later this week.

“Animal Planet is launching the stunt as part of an effort to raise awareness of the 100,000 people that die from venomous snake bites each year.”

I think the city, its casinos and the LVCVA are totally bored out of their minds; they’re out of reasons or ideas to be hip or creative so they come up something like this. Educational? Doubt it. Dangerously gutsy? You bet. The RJ, the Sun, TMZ, VegasRex, 3, 5, 8, and 13 will reporting this guy’s demise…if something goes wrong. BELIEVE ME: I can assure you it won’t be positive.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and I too suffer from inverted SAD–but only when I am living in a dry climate. I spent a year living in Vegas and toward the end of that year I was temped to claw my eyes out if there was another clear sunny day. Seven years in the Vancouver (not Canada) Washington (Not D.C.) area have unfortunately induced the regular kind of SAD–I feel like going into hibernation for about half of the year.

The guy in the Plexiglas box is probably happy for the overcast. That thing must be like a kiln in direct sunlight, especially in winter, with the low sun-angle.

Rex I have to disagree with you about not finding snakes in the Dupont Circle or Washington Square areas of Washington, D.C. There are plenty of snakes there, but they just look a bit different than the ones in Venom in Vegas on the strip.

The Washington snakes wear suits and are called Congressmen, Senators, and Special Interest Lobbyists. The venom of these snakes is extremely deadly to the rights and pocketbooks of all Americans.

I hear he was originally booked for a Luv Tub suite at the IP……but got upgraded to the snake suite by using the $20 trick.
