Those of us who live and work here feel that vegas has lost it's magic due to all of you who feel that walking shorts and sloppy baggy tees are acceptable. Also, the clothes that you go to work in should not be worn to a restaurant the where you are spending $100 for a plate of food. Also it is insulting to think that for the people who do dress for dinner in the appropriate manner and pay for the atmosphere, that they then have to look at you in your jeans and tee-shirts and sneakers. If you wanted to wear jeans to dinner, why not find a good attractive pair of jeans and an appropriate evening top and heals, not your slouch fit Silicon Valley attire. Would you go to business meeting with other engineers not from Silicon Valley and wear jeans and a tee? Probably not sweetie, because as you probably know Vegas IS NOT Silicon Valley and that IS NOT business casual. Also, for your information, Prostitution is NOT legal in Vegas nor do all of us who live here feel that showing your naughty bits is acceptable dress either. Oh and for the girl in the purple cocktail number, at least she wore a dress to dinner. I think that people who visit vegas in general should realize that this is not a town for sloppy dress.

A year ago her co-workers got her this nice coach purse, that was like probably over 400 dollars but they love her and they all pitched in to buy it for her for christmas. My mother told me how much she would like a wallet to go with her purse. (she wanted matching colors) So I went and got her a wallet, it was one that matched, it was one of those long wallets that you can put a check book into, it cost over a hundred bucks. Jeez. She didn't like it, she wanted the one that folded into three. She doesn't like long wallets. So I had to return it and the three fold wallet was not there at the coach store I returned it too. I was still pretty new to the south bay area so when I was in vally fair with my last b/f there was a coach store and they had 3 fold wallets but I didn't find one in the color my mother wanted. So I went in to try to get some help and no one helped me, I went up to a person to ask for help and she snubbed me. They were very willing to help young blonde trendy dress girls but not me. Finally I found someone that would at least talk to me, and she told me what ever they have on the floor is what they have and walked away with asking if I needed anything else. Wow worst service ever! Never shopping there again. Then when I went to visit SD in So-Cali, there was a coach store there. I saw the wallet in the window. I went in and asked to look at it, it was a little dirty but it was what my mother wanted, so I asked if they had one in the back that I can buy. The lady said the was the only one they have, but she can buy it online for me, and have it shipped to my house for free. What? Why didn't the other store offer to do that for me? Anyways I bought the wallet there and it came like a week later to my mother's house. She loves it! I guess I got badladied at the coach store in vally fair.
