im going to vegas for a quick getaway next week.
i havent gone since February, and im planning on renting Vespa Scooters for a few hours to cruise along the strip.
has anyone ever been on a vespa scooter?
i have never done it before, but was told its not complicated, no shifting, just go....
so hoping to have fun
Eloping?
My vespa had gears and a clutch. I don't know what they are talking about. Heck it was freeway legal

Generally, the difference between a scooter and a full-fledged motorcycle is that scooters are automatic transmission and have the leg area between the front wheel assembly and the rest of the "bike" where motorcycles are manual transmissions that you have to straddle.

I think over again
My small adventures, my fears.
The small ones that seemed so big,
For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.
And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:
To live to see the great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world.

you're going to vegas in july??? you'd better hope you don't hit any red lights w/the vespa because you will melt right into the pavement.

Oh, it's not THAT bad. The 7 day right now is only saying 104 last I saw. As long as you drink water during the day constantly, you will be fine.
Vespas are fun. I haven't ridden one on the strip, I would actually be scared to do so. To many drunks, too many red light runners and taxis that doen't look for bikes and scooters and pedestrians.
I would stay in the casino/hotel during the day and rent the scooter at night.
With the lights and all it is better to watch at night. And it is a really heavy oppressing heat in Vegas. Not good for you at all to be taking long walks in.
My grandkids are cuter than yours !
Rock on Chargers !
Lets go Padres !! All the way in 2009
see you there!! or at least i will be there too!
Hee, you said 'straddle'.

ahhh....I've actually rented scooters on the strip when I was there! IT WAS SO FUN! We got the 2 hour rent and we had a freakishly awesome time. I raced a hog, got called hells angels, went to the vegas sign, almost fell from trying to stand of the seat, and got talked to by the cops. FUN TIMES!!! you won't regret renting scooters!!!
Life is like toilet paper, long and useful!
The stars at night, are big and bright *clap 4x* deep in the heart of TEXAS!
i dunno, the website says they are 50cc, just 30 mph vespas, i dont need to go on the freeway, just ride along the strip....i dont have to shift gears do i? no...
seems like cheesypuff had the best time.
i know its gonna be hot, but then again, i dont think itll be that bad,...who knows.
riding around at night seems like a good idea, but i like to gamble at night and sleep during the day,...
oh i dunno, well see what happens
Have fun driving around in the heat.Even at night, temperature won't drop below 90.

I've lived in San Diego my whole life and I've still never been to Vegas. Have fun!
WOW
Find some spare change lying around. Go find a room online. And take the drive up.
WOW
Off in La La Land
Go it's fun! I liked trying out a different buffet every night.
Ooohh. Take my statement back about the weather... 109 Wed-Fri of next week...
I rented a scooter in Hawaii and it was a blast. If you can ride a bike, you can balance those little scooters. Turning radius sucks though, so be mindful of that.
It looks like I may be out there too. There is a Garth Brooks concert on Friday night.

YOU are GOING???
need a date?
I am sure Donnie won't mind....
I know. Pretty sad that I've never been. And believe it or not, I'm a corporate travel agent! LOL Some travel agent I am! But I've never been a real gambler, and if I do gamble, I want about $1000/day to play with, which I don't have, so I haven't gone. But I did go to Reno during my honeymoon, that was good enough.
Heh, you said Hee. Oh wait, that's not suggestive...Hee, you said 'straddle'.
Uh... mm... straddle!
im so excited
i hope i win enough money to buy a handbag.
which weekend? 16th? or 23rd?
There are four of us going, PM me your phone number and if someone drops out I'll call you if you want. I wouldn't count on it, but you never know.

Would I have to reimburse the ticket cost?
That was the only thing stopping us! Man, take pictures. With it being a fundraiser with that pricetag, you should be able to get some good ones. I wish I would have done that for Toby Kieth last Dec. We didn't know that we could bring cameras... I got stuck with the crappy camera phone shots on something I would have loved to have gotten great shots on.
I'll be at NYNY from tonight (arrival about Midnight local time) through Friday night, when I head east on the redeye. I am in meetings/functions during the day, but PM me if any of you want to get a beverage one evening...

No, you wouldn't have to pay anything we're being comped the tickets.
