      They did more than that if a bachelorette party hasn’t solicited Tip yet.

        The last article I read (well, it was slightly before last week) said that Vegas is still the #2 bachelorette party destination in the US. Surely not every location, including Houghton, is tied for second.

    Are those drones in the sky? Or vultures?

    I haven’t seen anything so ominous since VR Whimsy World!

    Perhaps it’s just as well Tip took that detour…

    Yup, this clearly has Anasigma written all over it.

    Apparently *everything* is staying in Vegas, whether it wants to or not.

      Seeing as they come from the East coast, they may presume sprawling sleepy suburbs long before city limits are the norm everywhere

    A-sig, or HT’s bio-collective?

      Of course, I suppose it could just be an empty copy of Las Vegas plopped down between the team and the actual Vegas by a sufficiently skilled mad scientist…

      Could be either of those, or Pavane.

    I think I saw this in one of the Resident Evil movies. Skin Horse should avoid any suspiciously placed shipping containers.

    As someone who hates the very concept of Las Vegas, aka “America: The Ride”, the depiction of it dark and deserted fills me with a certain grim satisfaction.

    Don’t worry, as comeuppance fpr my hot take, I’m sure we’ll see Vegas back to normal with Tip drinking celebratory cocktails out of the navel of a sumo wrestler in no time, and everyone can feel good about the status quo being restored. Blech.

      I actually feel similarly. My first thought is that maybe something about the reality blindness has caused people to forget about this kind of stuff and a bit of “Good!” from me. My next thought is on whether or not that makes me a bad person. :/

      The most time that I’ve spent in Vegas was running chess tournaments, spending nothing on gambling. I did pay to see Cirque du Soliel shows. So yeah, this sight wouldn’t bother me in the least either.

      I have to agree with you. (OK, I don’t have to, but I agree anyway.) I wouldn’t mind at all if Vegas became a ghost town. And honestly, I probably wouldn’t even notice.

        Sure you would. All the old entertainers would go somewhere _you_ want to be.

    Okay, WHAT did they hook the Hoover dam up to instead?!?

      Why waste effort connecting it to something different? All they’d have to do is divert the water somewhere upstream from the dam. Or just sever the power lines.

        Or decouple the sluices from the turbines.

      Please, this is Anasigma, an organization that firmly believes the adage “there is no problem, big or small, that cannot be solved by a suitable application of high explosives”. The question is if Hoover Dam is still there?

        Heck, is the GRAND CANYON still there?

    “there is no problem, big or small, that cannot be solved by a suitable application of high explosives”.

    Problem: Everything is all blowed up.
    Solution?

    • BMunro

      If everything is all blowed up, there is nobody alive to complain about it, so there cannot be a problem.

      If _almost_ everything is blowed up, then there may be survivors and therefore a problem. Clearly, not enough explosives were used.

      To quote a different webcoming, “As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero.”
