Overheard in Las Vegas
PARADISE, Nev. — A taxi driver stands outside his idling cab on Las Vegas Blvd., watches Wisconsin fans stroll The strip and observes: "Fucking cheeseheads. They don't know how to enjoy themselves. They come all the way to Las Vegas and they eat at McDonalds."

I agree with the cabbie. I can't believe anyone would come all the way from Wisconsin to eat McDonalds, when they could be eating at a Hard Rock Cafe or Planet Hollywood.
Go to the Peppermill restaurant/lounge for cryin' out loud. Across the street from the Stardust. Or at least, where the Stardust used to be. I think they imploded it a few months ago.
Why are you in Nevada?
Wisconsin vs. UNLV!
Too bad you can't bet on the game. Unless they've lifted the ban on placing bets on games involving in-state schools, or at least their home games.
I should say I'm not 100 pct sure there ever was a ban, but last time I was there, few if any casinos accepted bets on UNLV or Nevada-Reno games.
It was indeed a rule, but it was repealed a few years ago. Wisconsin didn't come close to covering the spread, but I stayed away from that bet.
Vegas is pretty generic and fake, but they do have one of the best restaurant scenes in the world right now.
However, not everyone can afford Nobu or Picasso.
Whether or not you go to McDonald's or Applebee's probably doesn't matter - although I have heard there are some good funky places out away from the strip - a place most tourists don't care to venture.
I do object to thinking that lame behavior is restricted to cheeseheads.
