These samplers are becoming a habit with me...
Sir Nathan of Maine
Leaving Las Vegas, on my 34th birthday, and the best present I can think of is to never have to stay at theExtended Stay on East Flamingo for the rest of my hopefully long life!
What a skanky, stinky, sticky poorly managed joint! We actually had 3 rooms within our two night’s stay. The first one was a smoking room and the cabinets and floor were as sticky as a frog’s tongue. Didn’t want to even begin to know what that was about. Thankfully, we did find out that they’d just reshellacked the cabinets and it wasn’t drying in the heat. Phew!!
The next room had a smell. You know those smells that you can’t quite identify, but you just know that they’re gross? That was this. However, they’d tried to cover this mystery odor with some sort of 99 cent store air freshener. Eventually, as the dime store rosiness dissipated, we were left with a scent that reminded me of someone’s apartment I was in once, where their roommate had an untrained puppy that had saturated wee pads all over the place and they weren’t throwing them away. It was the nauseating and overwhelming fume of puppy pee. Yuck-o!
Meanwhile, as Joey and Nathan crawled and walked around on the floor, their legs and feet got increasingly black. They looked like little coalminers. I don’t care how extended someone’s stay was, how in the world can a carpet get that dirty?
We stayed in the dirty carpet stinky room Sunday night, but moved for Monday night to a newly shampooed room. It was scuffed and chipped and stickily shellacked, but it was a lot cleaner than the first two. And the clock was set an hour ahead, which we didn’t realize and turned out to be an advantage. We ended up getting on the road to Utah by 8:07am.
So, now, I write to you as we pass over the Utah state line. Steve thinks every single person we see is a Mormon. I wonder if we’ll pick up a sister wife for me on our travels. Someone to help with the kids and the cleaning? Happy birthday to me.0!!! (Just kidding…)

The only problem with extra wives is that they usually want to bear some young'uns, too, so the wife to kid ratio gets all screwed up - not to your advantage. I'd suggest hot foreign exchange nanny. Happy birthday to you AND Steve.
I wondered the same as we drove through there last year! At least we'd get to be 'Boss lady'.
