A bit of a long shot, but is anyone here a Las Vegas resident? I'm trying to get hold of an update for something that my club ordered several months ago and the place is not answering their phone, so I was hoping to find someone that could check in person.

Drop me a PM if you are near/in the city of broken dreams

Oh yes. It's made worse by me being in Sweden, but I have the "What time is it in Las Vegas" website up before I do anything.

STW is a thing of wonder. A Swedish resident using a UK based site to find a Vegas resident to help with a consumer affairs issue. I really want this to work out!

It's gotta be coke & hookers related.

If everyone chips in for my plane ticket I'll go there and ask them and film the whole thing.

... could this whole forum be a cover for spies to leave messages for each other.

@qwerty Truth is stranger than fiction…. It’s about a door.

Yes, a door.

Could you remote hire a drone to buzz round, knock on the door and you then speak to them via a mic & screen??? 👽

Does this door take you to another dimension? And what sort of club needs a door so specialist that it can only be made on the other side of the world? I am now heavily invested in this story. (Heads off to Google dungeon door makers of Las Vegas).

Maybe it's a specialist door from that Nick Cage film?

Hang your head kayak23, that was bad. And I say that from the standpoint of someone that has Gothenberg as a spiritual home ( https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6teborgshumor)

The door _does_ (or at least _WILL_) transport you to a magical new place, actually at quite high speed.

TBH, relying on hookers to deliver the "door" is your mistake here. There's not always a happy ending

Get a flight booked. What you need is a little less conversation, a little more action, to be honest.

I am so with Hannah on this and have to spend the next few minutes googling doors so unique they can only come from Las Vegas.
Is your club the Gothenburg Elvis Riders?

Anyone taking up this challenge should beware as this is all an elaborate double dealing plot……. Willard Whyte was the chief baddie in Diamonds are Forever and his HQ was in Las Vegas.

WRONG!

Willard Whyte was the oil billionaire that was imprisoned by Blofelt and had their oil empire taken over by bad stuff.

Apart from the rig in Baja. That was not his.

Memory fail on my part. Or careful distraction technique from Willard.

Rookie error on your part ordering joinery from that part of the states.

Everyone knows what battens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

I worked with a bloke who lived in Las Vegas. Still have him on LinkedIn.

However, ass you could imagine, he's an absolute WGBE.

Sting is starting a week long residency at the Vegas Colosseum from tomorrow.
You could ask him?
Maybe tweet him or perhaps, a message in a bottle?

I'm shocked, but not surprised, that the US in general and Vegas in particular has experts in weapons grade bells.

That is by no way a ringing endorsement of the situation though.

That's not a door, it's a portal.

You shouldn't try walking through a door, the only place it will lead is A&E

Heads off to Google dungeon door makers of Las Vegas

Hannah is now on a watch list and will never be able to travel to the US again

Don’t say that!

Problem is solved! Finally got to talk to the chap and he explained that the loss of communication was due to IT issues following a move from one hosting provider to another.

Apparently the door and handle should be getting shipped next week, which is nice. Soon our little Cessna 206 will have a shiny new door and us camera fliers will have a handle on the outside to hold on to when we are waiting for the tandems to leave.

Let me get this straight… you’re entrusting your life and well-being to a handle on the outside of a plane door, that was built in Las Vegas, the place where the rest of the world goes to make terrible choices, lose everything, and get absolutely shit faced? And is also the home of organised crime and broken dreams and generally short termist thinking because it’s about to run out of water and electricity because they didn’t think that far ahead when they built it?

Personally, I think I’d like my life saving doors and door handles built somewhere with more of a reputation for careful thought and planning and caution… probably somewhere like…Sweden?

I have only briefly been to Vegas. The future Mr stwhannah picked me up from the airport there for our first date. We drove down the strip and went to a local Ethiopian restaurant. I spent much of the time there trying not to release all my post-flight farts in his company. But also trying to release them before driving to our accommodation at Boulder City. It was a tricky time.

well he’s really going to feel out of place there isn’t he… like an … erm 🫤

And due to the unfortunate formatting of this site I started to think that Hannah had a Google dungeon!

Boulder City = Bootleg Canyon uplift, Hoover Dam, and a night on the beer down The Strip.

A memorable day 🤪

so basically dogging. But at an airport rather than a carpark?
