Saw You From Across the Bar A while back, one of my kids and his girlfriend and some mutual friends of theirs went to Las Vegas to celebrate her birthday over a long weekend. As young people are wont to do, they booked the crappiest hotel for the cheapest price, to have more money to hand directly to the casinos. I did exactly the same thing when I was their age. But Vegas has changed, and fraying carpets and broken sinks are not the only terrors that away you on the low end anymore. ★
