User DavidLee8282: “I had a guy come up to me and tried to sell me used lingerie/thongs that ‘strippers’ wore. He had a gym bag full of thongs. I just made a 180 and walked ... away.”

User JackRakan93: “My SO’s mum is a housekeeper for one of the fancier hotels on the strip. She has stories of entering a room and seeing food littered across the room and faeces smeared across the walls. On the bright side, she also finds cocaine-dusted $100 bills that she just washes and pockets.”

User RenttheJoe: “The craziest thing I saw in Vegas was adults bringing their toddlers out on the strip at 2am.”

User Klsi832: “Sex in a hotel hallway. Like they couldn’t use the room because their friends were in there so they just did it, fairly loudly but mostly clothed, in the freaking hallway.”

User FiveSided — Fistagon: “I don’t work in Vegas but I saw a man once on the strip with a sign that said; ‘Kick me in the balls for $10’.”

User 4Chinisbetterkek: “I life guarded at one of the pools on the strip, at one of the most notorious clubs. I watched a guy walk up to a girl, let her puke in his hands, smell the puke, then dump it on the floor and start making out with the girl.

“I had to yell at them for starting to strip as well. We would be cleaning up condoms, vomit, alcohol containers, clothing, syringes and all kinds of garbage up after closing every week, it was absolutely disgusting.

“I also have a family member who worked with the local government when they were trying to curb the Mob’s influence. They were instrumental in convicting a few individuals. One day, they were leaving to go to church with their family, when their son pointed out a thin wire running along their hood or something like that.

Vegas night-life.

“They got everyone out of the car, opened it up, and found that the ignition had been connected to the fuel tank or something, essentially it was rigged so that when they started the car it would go up in flames. I guess it’s crazy that that was so close to home.”

User Lango92: “Used to be a lifeguard on the strip and the craziest thing would probably be how many people think it’s cool to (have sex) in the pool. I mean wtf!”

User RichyRocks1: “I’m a security officer in downtown Las Vegas ... There was a call for an undesirable person in our valet lot and me and another officer respond to the call. We get there and there’s an older gentleman (probably 60) sitting on the sidewalk with a backpack and a small hand bag.

“He is sitting with some beige pants, shirtless and no shoes. I walk closer and I see that the hand bag he has is actually a cosmetics bag that was full of make up supplies. I see he has an open bottle of bright red nail polish and he’s applying the nail polish to his forehead.

“The closer I get I see that he has purple nail polish on his chest, blue nail polish on his shoulders and then the red on his face. I ask him; ‘Hey man ... What’s going on here?

‘Oh. I’m just putting on my makeup’.”

User Isaiah8500: “I don’t work there but my mum saw a guy crying like a baby in a diaper, next to a prostitute, out side of a Hooters. Edit: I asked my mom about it and he was wearing a tu tu out side of the diaper and it was behind the Hooters.”

Not happy ...
