Having lived in Vegas and working in 2 Casinos, the best thing to do at 3am there is go to the grocery store (in the summer) so your food doesn't spoil in the hot car on the way home and there are no crowds.

@@HisDudeness_69, Of course you just have things delivered. But that is a relatively new concept. Here in the valley, we all shopped at night. Before Wal Mart hit with 24 hour stores, we had that concept entrenched in our culture. 24 hour entertainment meant 24 hour lifestyle.

I miss the days when the stores were open 24/7. That was normal to me. I was born and raised here. Whenever I traveled to other states it always seemed crazy that places closed. Sadly, I see my town being slowly chained to big corporations, who have no clue what we were. Now we are a greedy town, nickel and diming our visitors and offering garbage in return. They will ultimately destroy us.

Mike (GIV) I always look forward to when you post a new video. I love when you are at a location and like in this Video you show photos of Michael Jackson at that exact location you are in. You have such a great memory for scene locations for movies or locations where a star was photographed at the location you are at. Also you must have a great system for finding photos and posting that you may have taken at that exact location you are at.

#3 When ' I ' was in my late 20's I had come to Vegas to see the Lennon sisters believe it or not. I also saw their first Lawrence Welk show during Dec. 1955 . I got a cheap-er motel room somewhere down the main strip. After the show that night I walked the entire strip cris crossing the street and going into each Casino for a look. No gambling, no money. By the time I was done I must have walked several miles and I was not going to walk back to my room, I took a cab. (side comment, my first time ever in Vegas was 1967 and I was on my way back to Wash. State after getting out of the Air Force. I was driving through Vegas, saw an ice machine and stopped to get some for my cooler and lost my money, no ice. I kept on driving, that was enough hint for me.)

18:50 - To answer your question, that horse with a fish tail is a mythological creature known as a Hippocampus, from the Greek word hippos meaning horse and kampos meaning sea monster. While the mythological creature was probably inspired by sailors seeing seals or other marine mammals, the name of 'hippocampus' was later attributed as the scientific name for the common fish known as a seahorse. The word 'hippocampus' also refers to a structure in the brain that is responsible for memory, which sort of brings this whole thing full-circle considering your video here is all about your own memories -- and the symbolism is right there in front of you!
