I was watching a YouTube video titled "Modern Marvels: How Las Vegas Became a City Like No Other (S2, E3) | Full Episode" and heard that he had he lived in a hotel in Las Vegas for 5 years.. That intrigued me so I looked him up..

He did that for a long time.. Living in hotels and never leaving.. He would set up shop and even get rooms for his staff.. the wiki article also mentioned he was very eccentric..

But apparently was also generous.. He left a lot of money to the people who worked for him and his 23 cousins.. it was also said that he left a will at someone's work who helped him on the side of a Road in Las Vegas.. it was a substantial sum of money.. But the courts ruled against it when it was contested..

very interesting person..

I was just thinking again about when Eric, Aaron and me went to Las Vegas in Jan 1998. We stayed at circus circus. I was working at UPS at the time.We wanted papa pierce to go but he wouldn't. I remember wanting to go to the Stratosphere near to circus circus but they didn't want to go. I got into it with them and went by myself. When I got back the shower was running and they said they had a hooker in there. They were just messing with me of course.

We rented a car and drove around. I have fond memories of those days. I bought a corduroy jacket at the mall there that I couldn't really afford. It was like the jacket that Jared Leto om "My So Called Life" wore. I always wanted to look like him, be attractive like him, but i never quite was.

It was In Las Vegas was the first time I heard about Abercrombie and fitch. Eric knew all about them, he was always the stylish one of our family.

Years later, I remember going to Las Vegas again with Eric and my former romantic partner. I remember thinking Eric looked so good and stylish and I felt very unattractive.

I'm getting in a negative mood thinking about it.
