The Neon Gutter Crew returned to Las Vegas to continue the Lord’s work of converting people to the Cheapo way, to avoid scorpions, and to get our hands on the dice at as many wonderful low-roller craps games as we could.
Along the way, we enjoy some dim sum and live music, and do not enjoy the song stylings of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
Most importantly, however, we embark on an intense research effort using only Cheetos and gumption to document which hotels do and do not gouge their customers, and to what extent. You can see the results in our Cheeto Index.
Know how much Cheetos cost in Vegas? Call our Stinkline at (775) 400-2941 to tell us, or with other tips and stories. Email to tell us your stories, or how the Neon Gutter has changed your life. Randy Shandis is standing by! Leave your mailing address to get a Neon Gutter sticker and an authentic $100 entry into Bob Stupak’s Vegas World Daily Slot Tournament.
