Zach "The Real Deal" Galifianakis

What are the chances of running into one of the cast members of one of Las Vegas' most prominent modern interpretations, "The Hangover," while you are there? These ladies did, and boy, did they use the opportunity to get a pretty awesome selfie.

Zach Galifianakis made his name in that movie trilogy and has gone on to become a star of various other films, including "Birdman," "Masterminds," and "The Lego Batman Movie." In 2021 he had a voice role in a movie called "Ron's Gone Wrong" and also appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

The Perfect Time For A Selfie

Las Vegas is known by many names, and one of those is the City of Lights. There are many cities in the world that carry that moniker, the most notable of which is Paris. But there is a valid reason for Las Vegas being called this.

Because almost everything is displayed with lights, including the welcome sign to the city, it is officially the brightest city you can see from space. However, the only space this drunk selfie is going to be seen on is Facebook or Instagram.

The Best Way To Get Knocked Out

There are many ways to get a hangover in Vegas. There is the classic alcohol hangover as a result of too much drinking. Then you get a gambling hangover, which must be common in Las Vegas, which experts identify through a sick feeling, hating yourself, and anxiety and regrets.

Dealing with the latter is best done by controlling gambling habits or not gambling at all. For the former, more common hangover, greasy food is usually recommended. But as it turns out, it works better when you have a fatty meal before drinking. That way, it absorbs some of the booze, lightening the hangover in the morning.

Never Play Poker With Sasquatch

This is one way of holding your poker face; just make it unreadable. But imagine how long it took that guy to get into that prosthetic and how hot he must be getting inside that suite? Many Hollywood stars can vouch for the discomfort of being in this kind of garb.

Jim Carey was renowned for being cranky after spending hours getting into his suit for "The Grinch." Rebecca Romijn also speaks about the hours she spent getting her entire body done for her role as Mystique in the X-Men films. We think we'll stick to a pair of sunglasses and a hat thanks very much.

It's Now Or Never, But That Thing's Gonna Live Forever

"It's My Life" is a popular song by the iconic '80s rock band Bon Jovi. The song came out in the '00s and reignited the band's popularity, while also serving as an anthem to rebellious boys and men around the world. That's probably what this guy was going for when he got this tattoo.

The problem is, after a night of excess in Vegas, you don't always end up at the most reputable tattoo parlor, and the result could be something similar to what this guy got: a poorly executed, misspelled tattoo he'll have to keep for the rest of his life. Or at least until he can get a cover-up.

Not A Good Day For Minnie

Here's a new one for you: No two nights are the same in Vegas. One night you're on a high, winning on the craps table and downing shots all night long. The next night, you could lose all of your chips and pass out on the first glass of wine.

It seems like it was that kind of night for this Minnie Mouse suit-wearing fella. He looks like he lost all his chips and had too much to drink, and then passed out and had a Minnie Mouse head put on him by his prankster friends.

Is This Even Real?

There is no way of finding this out without asking this guy, but is this his real hair, or is it just the wig? If this is his real hair, then he deserves a round of applause for having the patience to get this done to his hair.

Jacob Bertrand, who plays Hawk in the hit Netflix series "Cobra Kai," says it took about an hour to create his standard spiky mohawk for his character. Can you imagine how long it took for this Sin City enthusiast to also get all of this art into his hair?

Please Don't Tell My Mom

That's what this guy must be saying after someone managing to avoid wrapping his Aston Martin around a pole. Instead, he drove this expensive-looking vehicle up the fence, in a clever play on the classic "driving me up the wall" saying. While it hasn't taken much body damage, not much can be said about the fence.

He has essentially damaged state property and could be in some big trouble because of it. He could be looking at one to five years in state prison or up to a $10k fine. Meanwhile, the car will also cost a pretty penny to get out of there.

 

The Morning After The Night Before

If anyone has seen movies like "The Hangover" series of films or "Hot Tub Time Machine," then you know what the excess of Las Vegas can lead to. While we doubt these guys have lost a groom or gone back in time, they look like they had one hell of a bender the night before.

Like New York, Vegas is another city that never sleeps, and all of those bright lights, clubs and gambling houses can lead to an entire night's activities. Maybe the coffee they're getting at this place is just what they need to get back on their feet.

 

A Hard Life

You know you've had one hell of a night when you fall asleep at the poker table. Either that or this woman has a poker face that will leave anyone guessing. It could be quite the winner, although how she is following the game while pretending to sleep is anyone's guess.

Poker is a game that can be won in multiple ways. Either by the luck of the draw, or by bluffing other contestants into folding and leaving you as the only active player, and thus the winner. This is where the poker face comes in because if you're going to bluff, you can't show it in your face.

There's A Trick To These Slot

Anyone who has played slots and any other machine-type gambling mechanism will tell you that there's a trick to getting them to spit. Some believe that you just have to allow them to warm up a bit. Others have special rituals they follow when playing. Some even play multiple machines.

One strategy sees people watch machines others fail on, then jump on as soon as they leave to be on a warmed-up machine. But roughhousing the machine that's something for frustrated gamblers who just aren't winning. It's likely that security escorted this man out of the building, whether it was for vandalism or trying to manipulate the machine.

 

We Didn't Lose The Bride!

Before you start wondering if this bride's hungover friends are going to find her in time for her big day, think again. Come to think of it; those are her friends right there in the seats next to her. Maybe they are just having one more girls' night out before the bride walks down the aisle.

Getting married in Vegas is not an uncommon thing. People from all around the world go to Sin City to exchange vows, and they also have options, from a shotgun wedding at a ready-made chapel to a traditional and extravagant wedding with ceremony and reception.

Come As You Are, As You Want

In terms of the wedding ceremonies, you have a lot of options in Vegas. There's the traditional route and the quick and simple chapel route. There is also the legendary option of being married by an Elvis impersonator in a chapel. This is a popular option and one of the main reasons people get married in Vegas.

Of course, if the guy marrying you can dress up as the King of rock n roll, then you can come pretty much however you like. Even if it's as one of the most powerful Jedi and Sith lords in Star Wars. We wonder if they know that these characters are enemies.

Getting It Wrong

Remember the alcohol is cheaper than a therapy billboard? Well, this is one example of how wrong that billboard is. Late-night benders can be fun, but getting too hammered can result in you sleeping on the floor in the corridor of the hotel you booked for the night.

This guy even makes a strong case for re-introducing the normal key to hotel rooms. He's so wasted; he even used the wrong card on the door. No wonder he ended up sleeping on the floor. Maybe this photo evidence will teach him not to believe everything he reads on a billboard.

A Vegas Themed Balloon Hat

What kind of clown makes a Balloon hat of exotic pole dance? The kind who works in Las Vegas, At least this guy can proudly say that he's been there, done that, and got the balloon hat, plus his lady looks pretty impressed with him, or she could just be having a laugh at his expense.

At least when the balloon loses its air, and it looks more like a limp biscuit than a pole dancer, he has this photo to remember the experience by. This is probably one time when something that happened in Vegas becomes a story to tell your kids one day.

Check Out Grandma Being Like A Kid

Planking was a fad trend that became popular in the early '00s. The trend involved people lying face down in a prone position on various surfaces that isn't the floor and sharing photos of it on Social Media. This often saw people sharing themselves planking in some strange places.

These include places like ledges, cliff edges, the top of walls, and even the kitchen counter, among many others. This grandma has a pretty unique spot at the top of this slot machine. She looks awfully happy; maybe she hit the jackpot and is celebrating it with a plank.

 

Living It Up

Some people go to Las Vegas hoping to strike it lucky. Others go because they want to have a good time. This guy falls in the latter pool, and it looks like he isn't allowing anything to get in the way of him living it up.

He's even taking his party to the bathtub, bubbles, bubbly, etc. He may have overdone it with the bubble bath too, and it looks like it may have gotten messy when he finally got out of that bath. Maybe he just wants to be as shiny as the shiniest place on earth.

Another Intimate Innuendo

We all know what a nightstand is... that little table you have at the side of your bed that you put all of your stuff on. We also all know what a one-night stand is... having intimate relations with someone you just met for one night only. But what is it when a bedroom only has one nightstand?

This guy decided to illustrate this with a costume demonstrating the innuendo of how this simple term can swing two ways. This is also a fine example of how anything that happens in Vegas can have a seedy interpretation and just how much people let loose when in Sin City.

 

Bringing The Kids Along

Vegas may not come across as a family-friendly destination, but it can be. First of all, people live there, so there are already plenty of existing families. There is the fact that it is a popular destination for family vacations, despite the city's more mature target market.

So, as a family man, what do you do if you want to hit the slots but have to watch the baby? You bring him along, right? We're not sure how this guy got that baby into the casino since establishments are pretty strict about letting underage people into their establishments, regardless of whether they don't understand their surroundings.

Too Hungover To Care

Have you ever been so wasted that you just get to your room, drop onto your bed and sleep? Then when you wake up, you leave home without changing your clothing, just to get a morning cuppa java to help nurse your hangover. This must be a common thing in Vegas, where booze-fueled hangovers are rife.

But it's important to take a lesson from this lady and check yourself in the mirror before you leave. This is just to make sure your outfit still looks good and also to ensure that your underwear, or any other embarrassing item, wasn't stuck to your clothing.

Leaving Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a city full of exciting and excessive things to do. So it's not surprising if, by the end of your visit there, you're feeling a little drained and tired. This group of visitors can totally vouch for that since they even decided to take a nap before they boarded their flight.

This could also be due to a delayed or canceled flight, something that in January 2022 became a major problem. Many airlines canceled flights to Sin City because of staff shortages. This resulted in a backlog of flights to and from the city.

Dressed For Success

Talk about being hot in Vegas. This grandma decided to dress for success and wore the flamiest shirt she could find in her wardrobe. This shirt has so much fire that even Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch from the "Fantastic Four," would be jealous.

We bet when she started winning (and we know she started winning), everyone said she was on fire... and they weren't lying. Even more, kudos should go to her for being out on the town even though she needs a walker to get around. Plus, many casinos offer special perks to senior citizens, no wonder she also looks happy.

Making Back The Money You Lost

One of the most prominent responsible gambling mantras out there is, "winners know when to quit." This guy didn't know when to quit, and now that he's lost all the money he has, he needs to get crafty with making some of it back. Some people only learn the hard way.

His friend appears to be in the same boat, although his tiny sign indicates that he isn't as keen on the money-making method. We wonder where they're from. It may take a few kicks before they have enough for the bus ticket home.

Free Love All-Around

There are many reasons why Las Vegas is called Sin City. From the mob bringing crime and other kinds of male entertainment to the moniker being aimed specifically at the city's famous red-light district in block 16. This section became renowned for its ladies of the night since 1906.

As the years passed and the reputation grew, so the entire city became known by that name. And this is also why this lady is trying so hard to save people from their sins with her sign. She should watch her back, though. She isn't safe from the predators of Sin City either.

It's Another One

Another day, another Las Vegas billboard, and another innuendo involving intimate exploits. As we discovered about the reason for the city being called Sin City, the carnal gratification trade is the leading light in the city earning that name. It is also a lucrative business there.

So seeing this sign will grab the attention of anyone out to his the red light district. There is just one problem for them; the abbreviation BJ is also used for the game Blackjack. This is the most played card banking game in the world and comes from a family of games known as Twenty-One.

Coming To See The Show

Gambling and carnal gratification trade aren't the only reason people plan trips to Las Vegas. Some of the biggest names in music and performance arts have residencies in Sin City, and that just gives a whole different kind of person a reason to visit. There is a reason these pop stars take residencies in Vegas.

The first to do so was pianist and singer Liberace. Soon many other icons including Elvis Presley and "Mr. Las Vegas" himself Wayne Newton were doing residencies. In 2022 Silk Sonic, Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, Santana, and a Hologram of Whitney Houston all have residencies. This lady probably came to see the Blue Man Group.

Portable Roulette?

We're finding it hard to figure out why you would have a portable roulette table at a Vegas event when there are so many of them already floating around in the many casinos in Las Vegas. Sure it's convenient, but surely this lovely lady could have been used for something more unique.

Not that the game of roulette is not worth playing. Its origins likely lay in a Roman game called Biribi but derived its name from a French word meaning little wheel. It is a popular game to play and involves betting on either one number, a series of numbers, or a color for a ball to land on.

Guess Who's Getting Married

Like Vegas, bachelor parties are diverse and can take many forms. It could be the usual boys getting together and having one last wild boozy night. Or it could be even more fun by making the groom do something hilarious. One thing that often happens is getting the groom to dress like a bride.

It doesn't stop there, though and said groom/bride is required to walk around in public, sometimes even begging for money. But not only does this guy look old to be getting married, but he also doesn't look happy about his situation. And now this photo means what happened in Vegas didn't stay there.

How Does It Feel Boys?

While we know that it's Sin City because of the ladies of the night, some places are taking a stand against gender-based violence and the objectification of women. Like the Hilton hotel in Las Vegas, where they have these wallpapers of up of women who are, well, perhaps speaking the hard truth.

Men are renowned for cat-calling women in the street with often no repercussion. This wallpaper turns the table by putting women in a position where they can scrutinize and, in a sense, mock a man's biggest ego driver. After using these bathrooms, we bet these guys never cat-called a woman again.

What You Won't Do... Do For Food

Just when you thought the planking trend was over, you get a guy in vegas showing off his ability to plank on the counter of this fast-food establishment. Maybe he's just another guy who didn't know when to quit and is hoping that his planking ability can score him a meal.

He obviously couldn't get a job because he is only visiting Vegas. Maybe the staff member will be amazed by his physical feat and give him something to eat. At least he's not allowing people to kick him in them for money.

The Real Heroes Of Sin City

A woman with a placard is never going to save Las Vegas from its seedy underbelly. But a hero like Batman could. Of course, if he's having coffee with the bad guys, then he is not off to the best of starts. But alas, these boys aren't trying to be real heroes.

They're just trying to emulate their favorite superheroes and are probably attending one of the comic conventions hosted in Las Vegas. There are three prominent ones to look out for: Lvl Up Expo 2022, Fanboy Expo Las Vegas Convention, and Silver Age Comic-Con. We wonder which one they attended?

Creating A Clean Slate

In a place dubbed Sin City, it helps to have a church around just to keep us all honest. The pastor at the Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon even offers to forgive any sin you may have performed during your time in Vegas. We're sure Sunday mass must be full of people looking for some forgiveness.

We're not sure if this catchy drawcard is still around, but we know that Pastor Allen F. Harrod has retired. Did someone take over and continue his work? Or have things changed at this church? Also, we wonder which Mt Vernon Baptist Church this is... since they're all on the other side of America from Nevada.

An Example Of Sin City's Indulgences

Consummation of marriage is done in the bedroom. So with all the people eloping to Vegas for a quick marriage with an Elvis for a priest, it's also important that the establishment provide the necessary setting so that the ceremony performed there can be completed there.

It's a rather over-the-top room, not that anyone is going to complain about that; they're too busy getting intimate. It's also cleverly designed as a red room, knowing that red is the color of love and passion. Here's hoping whoever books this room has a good time.

Even The Airport Has Slot Machines

las Vegas is considered the gambling capital of the world. It's so hell-bent on living up to this reputation that the city even has slot machines in the airport. Maybe they want visitors to hit the ground running by playing a couple of rounds before going o the casino where the real business begins.

This is also a great way for visitors to burn away the last of their coins or just get one quick game in before leaving Vegas behind. In 2021 one lucky traveler struck it big and won over $30k on one of the machines at the airport.

Chilling After A Long Days Plumbing

Even the world's most famous plumbing brothers aren't averse to Sin City. Their game is all about them chasing after a princess while collecting coins along the way. They're killing two birds with one stone by coming to Vegas because they'll find both of those here easily.

Okay, so these aren't the real Mario Brothers. But if they're one of those expo dudes, then they're still after the same thing, although probably more for the princesses than the money. There are also plenty of Mario Brothers-themed attractions in Vegas.

 

IV. Staying Hidden In Vegas

By now you know that people have a penchant for dressing up strangely in Vegas. It's like a city-wide Walmart with all sorts of characters roaming around. But everyone has a reason for the way they dress, even this guy getting some grocery supplies looking like he has something to hide.

Maybe he didn't want anyone to know that he is in Vegas, or he saw someone he wanted to avoid and was covering his face to keep them from seeing him. Another alternative is that he may have blown all his money, and i.e. planning to make a run with those groceries, with his identity sealed away.

Making Money As Mickey and Minnie

Like the other people we've seen in suits throughout this article, these two have been trying to make some money. Judging by the amount of cash the Minnie Mouse-wearing woman is holding, one would say they did a pretty good job. Street performers can make some decent money in Vegas.

One article suggests that people can make between $700 and $800 busking, although they are only confined to the strip and Fremont Street Pedestrian Mall. People do everything from dance in Disney suits to playing music and even pose for photos in their suits with visitors.

How Old Is Grandma?

At Dicks Last Resort, a bar and restaurant in Vegas, you can walk away with one of two things: A Vegas-sized hangover or a white hat with something witty written on the front of it. This grandma isn't going to get hammered, so guess what she's walking home with.

She just better avoid the lady with the placard outside. She may not take kindly to someone claiming to be Jesus's prom date. But most importantly, it is disturbing to think that the person who wrote that message thinks that this senior citizen is so old you may read about her in the bible.

You Two Are Not Leaving With Those On

These two would be brave if they went outside with those hats on—especially the girl, who may get some drinks bought for her if she went to the bar. For the guy, well, we don't know how accurate the message on his hat is, but we doubt he'll attract anything but laughs.

Of course, bars and laughing people can both be found inside Dicks Last Resort, which gives everyone a hat, meaning these two will also be laughing at other people's funny hat messages. We just hope they had more respect when they ran into Grandma from earlier.

Are They Prepared For What They'll Find When They Wake Up

This photo has all the elements of this become another installment of "The Hangover" films. Honestly, four guys spooning at the top floor of a Las Vegas building can only mean that these guys have had a little too much to drink and have lost their fifth member.

One of them dozed off while holding his drink, which means he hasn't dozed because you can't hold things when you sleep. So this is all a pose, and probably just a bunch of Vegas tourists trying to recreate their version of the popular movies.

Finally, A Positive Message

After all of the intimate innuendos, promoting the red light district, and just general bad advice, finally, a good billboard pops up. Although, this is likely only shows up when you are approaching the back end of the welcome to Las Vegas sign and are heading out of the city.

And it strikes the nail right on the head. You see, while many people come to Vegas to live it up in intimacy, gambling, and general excessiveness when you leave, you feel drained and bloated, and this is when you want to get better faster... just like the billboard says.

Did We See That Right?

As we've seen with the alcohol advertisement, Vegas is a place where advertisers pull no punches. They also aren't afraid to say risky things like this clever yet racy ad. While the golf reference isn't lost on us, finishing 36 holes of golf in one night is impossible.

Swinger is a common reference for people who engage in group intercourse. These usually happen at hotel rooms or, for a cheaper alternative, Las Vegas motels. This place isn't going for golf enthusiasts, although there are quite a few golf courses in the city.

That's Just The Wrong Kind Of Message

In South Africa, it's illegal for alcohol brands to advertise their products on any mainstream platform. They cannot even sponsor an event. If you think that's a raw deal, let this advert change your mind. In Las Vegas, it appears that alcohol brands can say pretty much whatever they want to.

They are even telling people that alcohol is better than therapy. This is despite the obvious pitfalls of liquor abuse. Besides the social is ills, there are also the health perils of alcoholism, which can include chronic diseases like kidney and liver failure. It's also pretty irresponsible in a place where people can be driven to drink after losing.

Vegas And Its Billboards

We think that you've seen enough of Las Vegas's billboards to know that anything and everything goes on them, and it doesn't matter how they are positioned. But the irony in these particular advertisements is not lost on us. Especially when you consider that you're seeing one after the other while driving.

The chances are that, with the mantra that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, then daddy may actually end up at Spearmint Rhino's Gentlemen's Club. This is of course since none of his buddies is about to share what happened in sin city anyway.

My Lucky Charm

Not every establishment allows people to bring their pets in. But in Las Vegas, the owners understand the importance of the moral support a pet can give to patrons. So there are actually a few places in the strop that would allow people to bring their pets inside.

Some of these establishments include  Caesars Palace, Paris, Planet Hollywood, Harrahs, Flamingo, Bally's, Rio, and The Quad. While pets are obviously a good accessory, some people even consider their lucky charms and don't hesitate to bring them along for some added good fortune. Just note that if you're staying at a residence, then only three dogs are allowed.
