This computer stuff could become addictive.

I never knew how much fun a high speed connection could be. I've  been watching  live Las Vegas cams. Damn, they're in real time with people  and cars going at real speeds. Never knew you could even visit the tourist trap wedding chapels and watch the live Elvis weddings. Too Much! I've also been looking through the Vegas traffic cameras on the freeways around Vegas. Pretty soon, I'll work my way north to Reno but I'm not through looking at Vegas yet. Pahrump is also suppose to have a live cam. Wasn't there a brothel that was going to do live streaming? what happened? I wonder if any of the strip clubs in Vegas do live streaming? What about any of the stage shows in Vegas?

The Chicken Ranch did live streaming for a while. Not sure if they still do or not.

I can guarantee that none of the Vegas (or any other) shows will ever do live streaming, for the same reason that you won't see it from any Broadway shows.  Why would they give away what they can charge you money to come and see?

Glad to see you are getting high speed now through.  It makes the whole internet thing worth doing.  Dial up and even DSL pretty well sucks.

Well, they could always do "pay per view"  Ya gotta figure, if they have to sell most of the tickets at half price on the day of the show in Vegas, they're not exactly setting the woods on fire. My friends wanted to order tickets in advance for a Vegas show until I told them about the booths set up selling tickets the same day of the shows at half price. Now they're going to wait. Weekdays at this time of the year should not be a problem getting show tickets.
Of course, I would still like to find some old lounge that use to have up & coming talent. You know, the ones where the only charge was a one or two drink minimum to get in. I'll never forget being in Vegas several years ago and catching one of these lounge acts at 3am. I think there were a total of 5 people there but for two drinks, it was still worth it.

If you want to see how fast your connection is, you can go to:  http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and run a a test.  It's a free site, and the way they do the test is pretty slick.

Hey Sidey, here are three sites for you to check out.
