East *v* West

[EdGar]

A guy my wife works with took a trip to Vegas last week and he asked if he could pick something up for me while he was there, My response was a couple hookers and an Opus xXx.
On his return on Friday, he couldn't get a hooker through airport security as carry on and the Opus cost $125.

At the worst prices, here they go for $30 to $50. My question is why so much.

From the sounds of it the hooker could have been cheaper. I always thought it was because Opus xXx's were exclusive to the East Coast ??? But we take it in the shorts all the time out here on the left coast. Maybe because the right coast is closer to the source ??? yeh that must be it.........

Opus were not readily available west of the Mississippi until just recently. But, that's not why they are high in Vegas. All cigars in the casinos are inflated beyond belief, as is the good wine and champagne. When I was in Vegas a couple weeks back I made it a point to show Devin the most expensive box of xXx he would ever see. It was probably the same box your friend saw. LMAO...and the price went up in the last couple of weeks. LMAO They were $75 each cigar at the Paris...PAM Torps were around $50. At the Rio cigar store you could get a DuPont lighter cheaper than a box of Hemingway Sigs. LMAO

They expect that everyone is loose with their $ already (which is usually true) so they rape you with everything you buy there.

it's prime market for morons with loose wallets.

I never pay for anything in Vegas

But I'm a high roller, who at the end of the year, I always end up on top

Sorry
