Las Vegas NV: Marriage In A Carriage?


Cinderella never had it so convenient. As Jay Leno would ask, “How fat are we becoming now?” In the same theme, are visitors to Las Vegas getting lazier all the time?

First, there are the infamous Vegas buffets, for plate-stuffing diners who are too porky to eat just one dish full. Recently, a chauffeur service began offering a drunkmobile called Hangover Heaven, that roams the Vegas strip providing rides for boozing tourists who needed help finding their hotels.

There are also the famed Vegas wedding chapels, for couples who can’t wait until they can go back to their home towns and get hitched the old-fashioned way. More recently, for really impatient couples, the wedding chapels started offering drive-through hitching lanes.

Now, according to an ABC TV report, there’s a new service for even more impatiently eager couples, called the LVWW, Las Vegas Wedding Wagon. It’s a large van that also wanders around Sin City, complete with an on-board, licensed wedding hitcher. For $99 each, the good reverend will perform ceremonies and furnish all the official papers.

Couples can elect nearby sites for the nuptials. It could happen near a Las Vegas Boulevard sidewalk, at the shores of Lake Mead, on the roadway over Hoover Dam or just about anywhere else the loving schmoozers choose to exchange marriage vows.

If you’ll be in Las Vegas with your sweetie and feel that primeval urge to merge on the road, and need information about the Wedding Wagon, go to lasvegasweddingwagon.com

Syracuse NY: For Sneaky Freebee Senior Travelers PDF Print E-mail


Recent reports indicate that scientists at Syracuse University have created actual invisibility. Of course, some of we more seasoned citizens remember the old movie, “The Invisible Man”, and other fantasies about being able to creep around undetected. So, let’s consider some humorous (im)possibilities for senior travelers:

Board any flight with no ticket, wait until all are seated, grab an unoccupied first class alcove and stretch out. When food and booze are ready to be served, go to attendant space and help yourself.

Sneaky sail on a cruise. After going aboard undetected, do the same with an unoccupied upscale suite, adding all kinds of fun in the spa, pool, bar, dining room, casino and theater.

Las Vegas can be the ultimate free invisible senior vacation thrill. Choose a luxurious hotel master suite with its own spa and hit the buffets until your invisible body is about to burst.

Help yourself to stacks of swiped chips at the casino tables, then see all the sexy shows from a front row seat. If you’re a dirty old unseen senior, sneak into the backstage dressing rooms at just the right times. So, OK, it’s all a crazy idea, but we all know every sneaky senior traveler would like to do the free invisible journey just once.
