Road Conditions LA to Vegas?

I'm contemplating a road trip from SoCal to Vegas this weekend.
However, I know there's been a lot of road construction on the 15; how
are the traffic conditioons these days? Anything I should watch out
for?

Yeah, drivers coming back from Vegas who've lost everything playing those
lame-ass mindless slots and contemplating death by head-on collision.

Uhm, you don't play the slots - do you Scott?? I figure you as more of a
Blackjack or Poker guy. Something you can have a way better chance to win
some money with. I'd go for the low-stakes no-limit Texas Holdem tables,
myself.

Good luck if you do go!

LOL! I don't waste my money on gambling - the odds always favor the
house.

I'd be going for a different purpose (and no, it's not hookers,
either! :)

Getting married is an even bigger gamble...

If I wanted to become a bigamist, I'd be going to Utah or Texas, not
Las Vegas.

... and some cynics say that it's an elaborate form of prostitution.

Plenty of those right here.

One local club is called "The Library." No doubt their clientele
really enjoys telling their wives "Honey, I'm going to The Library!
See you later!!"

There's a bar very close to Arizona State with the same name.
Brilliant really - "I'm going to the library..." without the guilt of
lying to parents/roommates/significant others.

But sometimes you gotta go where nobody knows your name.

It's always amusing to see how ignorant some people really are with
respect to gambling. But they always offer their opinion. And it's
almost always wrong.

So the odds DON'T favor the house on your planet?

In certain games, the odds do not favor the house. Everyone with an IQ
greater than 80 knows this. I'm sorry for you.
