Illegal Tender

Are you 20.767 years old? No worries. Las Vegas has a number of things for the youngn’s to do. You can go to Circus Circus and hang out at the Adventuredome Theme Park. There you can also get your face painted and take pictures with Marvin the Martian.

 

Not interested? We didn’t think so.

Instead you might want to do like the old heads do and have fun (yeah, even if they’re at the slot machine, they’re having a good time). Check out the J-Space lounge tonight, which begins at 10 p.m. There you’ll be able to mix and mingle with the younger set, possibly find your convention boo and make some tangible NABJ RELATED contacts.

You can also call Mashaun Simon to find out where the room parties are. No I’m not giving out his number, but if you’re in the golden bunch, you should have it (I love you Mashaun).

You can also take part in your favorite high school pasttime: Sleeping. (Yeah, I wasn’t very much fun back then). Your illustrious hotel rooms come complete with cable television. Watch those Law & Order reruns until you find yourself in narcoland.

Still not happy? Cruising the mall is always fun. Hit the Fashion Show Mall or the Forum Shops for some retail therapy. Not that you’ll be getting the healing you need, considering the malls are stocked with luxury stores such as Fendi and Hervé Léger. Last I checked us Jno’s weren’t pulling in those mega bucks.

Still you might catch Brit Brit and her tots hanging about way past bed time. And who doesn’t want to see her talking gibberish to a poor Valentino sales girl? I digress.

Anyway, for some real action you can always walk around the strip and watch other people having fun, or catch a show … not that you can afford that (tee-hee).
