Vegas - Did I miss this?

[wrschultz]

This sounds like the same frequency I get asked for change by the homeless in Austin... It does get very very annoying.

If you get "trapped" by one (like if the crowd slows down where you are walking)just say "I'm a local". They immediately move on and it works better than "No", which of course some of them ignore and keep talking.

We are leaving today is also a good response.

At 4 am in the Excaliber some guy asked me in the if I wanted to buy any rocks. I said "Do I look like a geologist?"

Just ask yourself "is this too good to be true?" If the answer is yes, then it IS too good to be true. I wouldn't trust any of them. There are lots of people looking for suckers in vegas, and unfortunately there are plenty of suckers keeping them going. Although you may actually get something real from some of them, I wouldn't trust any of them. There's one sure place to get show tickets - the box office.

Damn right. This is not just Vegas though, it's everywhere. I went to the Eagles/Cowboys(return of T.O) game last year without tickets hoping to score some at the stadium. People were selling them left and right and everything about the tickets looked fine as far as I could tell. So we get to the front gate and the usher goes "these tickets won't scan sir, you'll have to go to the main office". I knew right away when they wouldn't scan that the scumbag ripped us off. It cost me $350 and a headache but I did learn to never buy tickets off the street again unless the person comes to the front window with me to verify the authenticity. It's just not worth the potential hassle of buying street tickets imo.

You paid $350 for tickets to a Cowboy game? LOLOLOL

I hope that was for 10 tickets.

It was sold out and they were good seats. Football is not cheap dude.
