While walking the Strip in Vegas, we came upon a young gentleman lying
on a grassy area beside the main walkway. He look exhausted and overheated. I asked: "Do you need help?" Several onlookers looked worried. He waved his hand and moaned: "Please, go! All of you! Save yourselves! Don't end up like me!" A man passing by gave him an unopened bottle of water. The young man quickly poured it over his head. A second onlooker gave him another bottle. He gulped it down in seconds.

If you have ever walked the Vegas Strip when it is over 100 degrees, you know the agony. For those that never have, Don't do it! Save yourself the pure hell. Once for us was more than enough. Never again!
