In case you're wondering, this picture was taken in front of Binion's. I'm sure it is the first time I've posed with a street entertainer. Her friend, who wasn't as scantily clad above the waste, took the photo.

It's a good thing you aren't married. My wife
would kill me if I posted this.

I can use the excuse that it is my job to take pictures to show what Vegas is like.

Sounds like a guy I knew of who was an undercover agent for the PLCB. His job was to go to bars and see if they violated any regs. His motto was that if he did not come home smelling of beer, cigarettes, and women then his wife knew he was up to no good.

Maybe I'm out of date. Are you telling us that the Wizard no longer has a wife and kids filling the non-internet portion of his life?

Only when he's DT getting his pic taken. He's
single then..
Quote: WizardWhen taking somebody's photo, please don't cut their legs off. I think the tendency is to center the photo on the faces, but the emphasis should be on centering the whole body. If the background is important, consider having the subjects off to the side. If you want to get a closer shot, then cut off the somewhere in the torso region.

Really furthers the Vegas legend. Anywhere else in the US, you'd have to pay a cover charge to enter the "Gentlemen's Club" featuring this. In Vegas, it's out on the sidewalk for business as usual....

I don't know. I gave her one of my coveted $2 bills.

So whenever we see a working girl in
Vegas with a $2 bill, we can safely
assume you were there a short time
ago?
And maybe you wanna tell Bob that you ARE married?
Yeah, yeah, we know. It's a job. Somebody's gotta do it....Quote: WizardI can use the excuse that it is my job to take pictures to show what Vegas is like.Quote: EvenBobIt's a good thing you aren't married. My wife

Bob knows he's married on paper, he doesn't
let it interfere with his work..

Was this her friend?
Did you tell her that you just wanted her for free Spanish lessons?

Is that a $2 bill in her waistband?

That is a safe assumption.

"Coveted?"
They're readily available at banks.
I keep a lot around and spend them regularly, typically just to watch the expression on the clerk's face.
Heck, some of them have probably never held one before.
There is also fun to be had messing with clerks using the various one dollar coins.
