Being the Las Vegas “Tour Guide”
Hey Gang-
Anyone ever been the “tour guide” in a group going to Vegas? By that I mean the one with the most experience in the town, and the one that’s looked upon to know where stuff is and how to go about doing/getting to/information about whatever people want to do.
I have been to Vegas lots on business, and am an enthusiastic student of the history of the town. So, this role always seems to fall to me. I really love doing it, I guess because I love talking about the town. Someone said to me today about my bother’s upcoming bachelor party, “Oh man, your going to have to be the tour guide. That sucks.”
I never thought about it as bad! I’ve never had a bad experience being the guy most “in the know” in a group out there.
Anybody had this situation? Did you hate it, or did you like it? It’s always been fine with me, I’ve never really even noticed it! Always had a good and relaxing time.
Best,
Frank

Frank—
I don’t mind being the tour guide, but for the most part the job is
superfluous. There is just so much to see and do in Vegas that people
generally just follow their noses and never are at a loss.
What I have done is steer them away from places that are not worth
wasting their time with like the New Frontier or Imperial Palace.
Trying to coach a bunch of newbies on the correct way to play BJ or
craps can get awfully tiring, but is fun at first.
Just keep your cellphone on and be prepared to answer questions.
