Vegas Normal people do not behave like this

Rands Vegas System 2.0

I’m working. Working hard. I’m finding co-workers sitting in their offices with their heads on their desks. If I didn’t know we were all going to blow a fuse, I’d ask, “Hey, what’s up?”, but I don’t. I know what’s up.

At times of max stress, you need an outlet. This weekend, I did some major rework of the Rands Vegas System mostly because I AM SO NOT IN VEGAS IT HURTS.

Most of the changes you won’t even notice because the whole rework started when I noticed I’d screwed up the formatting when I landed the new layout. Of course, the moment I started tinkering with the columns, I started rewriting… Vegas has changed… Vegas has embraced it’s origins… it’s Sin City and if you don’t know what that means, you should not read these columns.

Here’s what changed… if anything:

Prelude: As with most of my writing, I waited to the end to actually get to the point. The Prelude steals much from the final column to appropriate set the stage of the Rands Vegas System.

Preparation: After the first version of the Rands Vegas System, I wrote an Accessories column which has now been included in this section. Also, more funny.

Booze: Not much changed here. Learn how to binge drink responsible in Vegas. Next.

Gambling: Major changes to this section. I’ve been playing Texas Hold ‘Em incessantly for about six months and this column has been updated to reflect that current addiction. Note to self: More to say about Texas Hold ‘Em.

Girls Girls Girls: Again, not many changes here. If you’re skimming these columns and are adverse to seeing boobs, don’t read this entry. There are boobs.

Comps: I remain pathetic in the Vegas Comps Department. I’m still waiting for the Pit Boss to come over and comp me breakfast. It has yet to happen.

The Rands Vegas System is a read. It’s not a list of bullet items you can stuff in your wallet. My recommendation is that if you are not imminently going to Vegas that you should bookmark it. It’s best read with impending Vegas on the mind.

Back to work…
