I would be willing to do that.

Jer, what was so bad about it? I just got back from Vegas as well, had a totally different experience. Yeah, the TMT 'tards were exactly that, and there was no point trying to go to any major location during the fight, but other than that it was fine. We watched the fight with like 60 other people in the hotel lounge... for free... and then hit Fremont St afterward (which was actually tamer than it was the night before).

Fremont Street was fine. Totally different crowd and totally different vibe. Where did you stay? Other than Fremont Street where did you go?

Exactly. I suggested this to a buddy and he reminded me that cockroaches survive nuclear attacks so I'm not sure it would have the desired outcome.

Jer I have heard your thoughts confirmed by folks who were at the fight.

Yes it would have been suicide for my wife and I (who were there to renew our vows at the same little chapel we married at 10 years prior) but if you saw what I saw you would understand why the sacrifice was necessary. I've been to Las Vegas a couple of dozen times for several events/occasions & I've never seen anything even close to what I experienced the last four days during this stupid fight. The system has failed and our country is doomed. Period.

I thought it was going to be bad but really had no idea what we were getting into. The idea that there would be tons of people was one we were prepared for. What we weren't prepared for was that that untold number of people would be comprised almost entirely of the biggest piece of shits you can possibly imagine. To call them thugs and hood rats would be a disrespect to thugs and hood rats everywhere. It was disgusting & in all my travels I have never experienced anything like it and words can't even paint the picture of the nightmare we lived the last four days.

If you're going to be this theatrical about it, at least provide one anecdote with some sort of narrative and detailed account.

It's a no win situation for me as there's no way that 1) I could possibly capture the cluster fuck we lived through for four or five days and 2) no way I could possibly come away without coming off as a racist with the things I would say. I also doubt anyone would even believe the picture I was painting to be real. I'll just say that there were hundreds of thousands of people in Las Vegas that were giving an awful name to fight fans and their race.

If this is indicative of fight fans I'll be glad when that sport dies. Think of the most disrespectful, obnoxious, racist, ignorant, loud, classless piece of shit you possibly can and then multiple that by about half a million people all drinking & doing drugs heavily 24/7 and you may begin to understand what we experienced. I haven't talked to a single person that was there that has anything else to say other than mcantar18c which is why I was trying to get details of where all he was because this was the general consensus from everyone who I talked to that was up and down the strip.

This is what I'm confused about. If they weren't raping/assaulting/robbing people, surely it couldn't have been so bad that you've suddenly lost the will to live after seeing the worst of humanity? I mean, I went to Vegas for New Year's and saw the dregs of society too. But short of physical violence, it's mostly just annoyance at foul language and low-class dress. At least for me.
