Funny You Say That

15 or 20 years ago, I was in SoCal for work. I had a weekend to kill.
So I drove to Vegas to see the Star Trek: Next Generation Experience at the MGM Grand.
I went through it twice (including the thrill ride) and was ready to leave.
If I hadn't stopped at The Luxor to eat & stumbled onto a Steely Dan tribute band, I would have been there for all of an hour & a half! With the accidental band find, I was there 140 minutes.
My tolerance for the place must be even lower than your's.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
