DID YOU RIDE THE ROLLERCOASTER? HOW ABOUT THE TURBO DROP?
BOTH A** KICKERS. I CAN'T IMAGINE A TRUCKER AND KARTER NOT GETTING OFF ON THOSE TWO.
I'M ABOUT 92 MILES FROM THE STATE LINE BUT I TRY TO GET THERE EVERY CHANCE I GET. I TOOK MY 7 YEAR OLD ON THE ROLLERCOASTER, WHILE WE WERE IN THE FASTEST PART OF THE DROP HE SCREAMED "LET ME OFF THIS THING RIGHT NOW" OF COURSE "NOT A CHANCE"! IT WAS THE FASTEST AND LONGEST DROP AT ONE TIME BUT ANOTHER ONE OUT DOES IT NOW, I THINK IT IS IN OHIO.
ANY TIME YOU GET OUT,DOWN OR UP THIS WAY HOLLER, I'D BE GLAD TO MEET YOU SOMEWHERE.
I TOOK AN OLD JOB BACK, I'M GAMING MGR. AT A LOCAL CASINO, ALONG WITH MY JEWELRY STORE. IT MAKES FOR A LONG DAY LIKE TWO IN ONE. BUT IF YOU GET INTO PAHRUMP NV. I'M AT THE SADDLE WEST HOTEL CASINO R.V. PARK. JUST GO TO THE TABLE GAMES,I'M THE SHORT FAT DUDE. OH YEA PROBABLY THE "OLD" SHORT FAT DUDE TO MOST OF YOU. HEHEHEHEHE
WHAT CAN I SAY I'M AN OLD VIETNAM HELICOPTER DOOR-GUNNER THAT STILL CRAVES ADRENALINE RUSHES...

Ron,

I DID ride the rollercoaster at Buffalo Bill's! If anyone wants to see a pic of this thing, just drop me an email and i will shoot one over. That thing was awesome!

Also rode the coaster on the outside of the Stratosphere and the Space Shot, or whatever it is called, on top of the Stratosphere.

Not sure, but i think the US Finals for the karts is gonna be in Illinois next year, so not sure when i will make it back to 'Vegas.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to the karts that were raced in Vegas. The top 5 qualified to go to Malaysia for the World Championships in January to compete against the top 5 from 32 other countries!

awesome!!
one thing SHANE failed to mention was when you are at the top of the "space shot" on top of the STRATOSPHERE you are 1100 feet above LAS VEGAS that's right 1100 ft. It also has a restaurant on top that rotates.(like the space needle in seattle but much much higher) excellant food but a little pricey! it's cool because you are higher than the traffic helicopters....
AND now they are trying to get another roller-coaster ok'd by the town. it will go from the STRATOSPHERE over 2 blocks and back. The locals are fighting it they believe it will make too much noise. oh yea, the good part is it will be 400 foot high.
ADRENALINE!!
by the way SHANE, that kart is also awesome....
