It was a melting pot in Las Vegas.

Tourists.
I like the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas more than the actual one.

Your email inbox is a bit like a Las Vegas roulette machine. You know, you just check it and check it, and every once in a while there’s some juicy little tidbit of reward, like the three quarters that pop down on a one-armed bandit. And that keeps you coming back for more.
