Cheers I'm thinking of leaping off the wagon so hard it runs me over leaving me drooling in a ditch.

Very good. Don't go abusing the wagon driver as you leap tho, you need him onside for when you crawl back on the said wagon feeling sorry for yourself.

Nah I'll steal the wagon and ride it down the strip. Never understood the wagon saying. Wagon can carry loads of booze. If you're off the wagon you have to carry your own which is a limited supply.

On the wagom is like saying I'm in the pub.

Anyhoo.... vegas? Surely someones gone hard there?

The original version of this expression 'on the water wagon' or 'water cart,' which isn't heard anymore, best explains the phrase. During the late 19th century, water carts drawn by horses wet down dusty roads in the summer. At the height of the Prohibition crusade in the 1890s men who vowed to stop drinking would say that they were thirsty indeed but would rather climb aboard the water cart to get a drink than break their pledges. From this sentiment came the expression 'I'm on the water cart,' I'm trying to stop drinking, which is first recorded in, of all places, Alice Caldwell Rice's 'Mrs. Wiggs of the Caggage Patch' (1901), where the consumptive Mr. Dick says it to old Mrs. Wiggs. The more alliterative 'wagon' soon replaced cart in the expression and it was eventually shortened to 'on the wagon.' 'Fall off the (water) wagon' made its entry into the language almost immediately after its abstinent sister.

Hooters Casino Hotel , great place to stay , reasonably close to the Strip , obvious benefits and cheap as chips if its not the weekend . Don't hassle the security guards on the Monorail , they are armed and don't get Kiwi humour. At least one of the flash Strip clubs is hideously expensive , if I ever remember the name I will let you know. :)

Had a few Benders in Las Vegas all you do is walk outside and go for it

20 years ago there was a place called something like "The Chicken Ranch". Basically it is a great place for a group of drunken lads to go for a good time. I was extremely p!ssed and awoke with no money at all the next day, but it certainly was a good way to get broke.

I seem to remember the food being free - Yeah right, that must be how I used all my money.

When you arrive walk into the first casino you see put $500 on red (or black) your choice. If you win you have more beer money. If you lose you have less. You will have done the gambling bit though and leave the rest of your time for fun. If you do decide to do long time gambling (dull) be aware when you start getting lots of free stuff it means you are winning too much (cash in and run away) or losing way too much (cash in run away)

Why do you want to go to Vegas though. Come to NZ where there is Sky City casino, the Viaduct and cheap P all for the taking. :Punk:
