Las Vegas is home to some of the most varied Conventions/Events in the world. I have to admit, I just "don't get it" when it comes to most of them. It's not them. It's me.
I don't get the Electric Daisy Carnival. EDC starts TODAY.
You always know it is EDC weekend when you start seeing all the Blue/Purple Hair young people walking the Strip. The Carnival is held Outside in the summer here at the Speedway North of Town. It's 110 degrees out there. The Rolling Stones and the Beatles could be playing in the early 1970s, and I want NO part of THAT party............I simply don't get this one............AT ALL. I don't think these kids Gamble. Unless you call excessive alcohol and other chemicals in 110 heat gambling......
Staying at the Speedway, I don't get Nascar.
That too can be hot. And loud. REALLY Loud. And the smell of the rubber. And the endless procession of car after car.........And novice bettors going to the windows and betting 10 drivers all at 6-1 to 9-1 to win the race.
I don't get the Rodeo.
You always know it is Rodeo Time in Vegas as any lower priced 'gourmet' Steakhouse in Town is PACKED, with patrons wearing Cowboy Hats. And not gambling. At all.
Further, I don't think I have ever had an interaction with a EDC goer, a Nascar lover, OR a Rodeo Cowboy.......likely it's not them......it's me. My geeky left brain part of me is completely incompatible I think. I'm really not sure.
I Don't get the WNBA.
I am at a loss of how they draw more than 500 people for any game (It's summertime out there.....is that the best we can find on a nice Chicago evening for our entertainment?). Actually, that's not fair, since Elena Delle Donne is one of the 3-5 players that IS worth watching in this league.
I DO get making money off the WNBA!
You don't need to watch it.......but I do.......since I am not here to have fun, I'm here to make Money. I LOVE a WNBA game tonight.......a strong 2* play, and working on the rest of the card. 9-4 YTD, and we look to keep rolling on our recent 7-2 WNBA run........
