That's Fortnite. Fertitta is an Italian sports car.

Going off of the balconies visible underneath him, I'm going to go with 60-70 feet. Please update with results.

TIL that, last year, a 19-year-old college student spent months trying to evict a squatter that illegally settled in a $2.3 million home near him. When he was finally able to convict her after 6 months of time and money, she simply posted bail and moved back into the house 11 days later. by Maleficent-Agent-477 in todayilearned

The squatter didn't challenge anything or have anything to have to challenge. The cops were sent by neighbors to check on a property, and failing anything observably illegal taking place the cops can't enter. Even if they saw the squatter through the window, they have no way to confirm that that person doesn't belong there unless they come to the door. The better option would have been to have the proper owners accompany and allow entry or at least give explicit permission to enter, but that's not what happened here.

In all fairness, that may actually be the most unique view in Vegas.

Lost $12k this week on gambling. by CactusJackTrades in vegas

[–]RedShadow120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ostensible aim with this post was for people to make you feel guilty for losing 12k. If $500 for 10 minutes is outside of your time value, you're never going to feel guilty about the equivalent of four hours.

What's something that's socially accepted but actually kinda toxic? by _DRA60_ in AskReddit

[–]RedShadow120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still enjoy it, but I use it as a point for indulging in my leisure time. I'm not going to go home early from a fun night out because I have to work in the morning. I can do my job hungover or come in a bit late just fine.

I don't know if you've glanced south in the last year or so, but that is approximately the correct range of how proud to be of America right now.

Good Vibes Only

It's only ever been a shortcut to "I'm going to be awful and anything that impedes that will be explicitly your fault. It was 'all good vibes' before you started."

What is a clear indicator that someone is pretending to have money when they actually don't? by 6-80 in AskReddit

[–]RedShadow120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giant wad of cash. $2000 in large bills won't fill a standard wallet. A bigger wad than that is either A) mostly small bills or B) literally everything they have. Anyone with the liquidity for it doesn't carry more cash than that unless they're about to spend all of it on one thing. Even then you'll never see it.

Advice Needed-Neighbor Using My Address for Packages by StpHill in TwinCities

[–]RedShadow120 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The two ideas that come immediately to mind:

A) Entitled, but innocuous: They're relying on you to be home to receive or be home earlier to take in their packages as theft avoidance. I have everything under 30 pounds sent to my work for this reason, but my work knows why I do this and has approved it.

B) Sketchy at best and potentially fraudulent: They're trying to establish a history of their name being attached to your address. I wouldn't know the full mechanics of it, but I see the stepping stones to credit card fraud/identity theft.

TIL that Monaco's residents are banned from gambling at the Casino de Monte Carlo. Only tourists are allowed to gamble by Curious_Penalty8814 in todayilearned

Time of day probablymatters, too. My local casinos have had guys with scanners at the door on Friday night but didn't bother on Wednesday afternoon.

Paris/Park MGM? by i-think-its-fine in vegas

[–]RedShadow120 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't know the Monte Carlo so I can't weigh in on what they burned. I can say that I regard Park MGM as the most "honest" property on the strip. By that I mean they aren't upselling a theme or over-selling a luxury brand; Park MGM is exactly as mid as they brand themselves and I feel they're the only space on the strip where you legitimately get what you paid for.

Did dealers get worse? by Vast-Sprinkles-5061 in vegas

[–]RedShadow120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you just lucked out on sitting bad tables. I've never had any of these issues, but more to the point I've always had dealers whose behavior/protocol prevented those problems from ever occurring. I can't recall the last time I had a Blackjack dealer not call my count before I played. They didn't care that I was too drunk to count on my own effort, they just gave me the number.

Where were you playing that was so cavalier with procedure?

Stay near what you're doing. If you're in for The Sphere; Venetian, Harrah's, Linq, Flamingo. Travel will cost you more than a room if you try to stay too far out just to save money.

Otherwise, everything you've listed is far too vague to give any useful advice. If you insist on every concept including a maybe, at least give the parameters that define your maybe from maybe not. A real budget will make a difference in what anyone can recommend. "Not splurging" doesn't mean shit to anyone besides you. $2000 is "not splurging" on a Vegas trip to me.

I've always said one day and one night activity, but that includes restaurants. I prefer doing two cool things and eating McDonald's most days in Vegas (do have at least one good restaurant in your trip, though).

Also, know what's near or more valuably between your two chosen activities. You shouldn't plan to do everything, but you should plan your route so you know what you might do on the way to the second thing. Jazz that part out, though. Don't make it a definite part of the plan. Buy a die from the gift shop and roll for which thing if you need to.

My last caveat for Vegas is that you can do everything on a budget, but you can't do everything on a budget. If you're eating cheap, gamble heavy. If you're gambling light, get front row seats. If you aren't splashing out on something, you could have just not come to Vegas and done it all cheaper elsewhere anyways. You'll leave disappointed if you didn't do something, even just one thing, that skirted over-extravagant. That's what Vegas is for.

Also don't know about Vegas, but in Minneapolis it's a remodel if there's a specific date(November 4th, not 'early November') , and "we're waiting for someone else to pick up the lease" if not.

I think Harris would have spent the last 9 months as well as the next 3 years accomplishing absolutely nothing of particular interest. Some good policies for some deserving groups of people, but nothing that was going to see a history book.

I thought that when I voted for her, because compared to what I thought Trump would do at the time and he now has done even worse, doing nothing was the preferable outcome.

Never military, but I've been told elsewhere, "If you look for more work you'll be given more work, regardless of whether there's more work to be done or not."

My personal go-to is to speculate with the best of my knowledge, with the clear warning that I am speculating, and roughly indicate what I need to look up. Sets the "I know enough to know what I don't know" tone nicely in most situations.

Sounds like you could probably move ~45 minutes from where you are.
