Last night proved to be a bit of a trying experience for me. As is often the case, bloggers don’t get the same treatment that mainstream media gets, and our efforts to secure the implosion of The New Frontier here in Las Vegas last night was met with some typical but ultimately funny run-ins with Las Vegas Metro.

This guy told me he could not say “officially” that it was okay to walk down the closed-off Desert Inn arterial to film the implosion from what was a good vantage point (well out of the way and behind lots of television crews below us on the ground, as well as construction/demolition workers and onlookers behind a fence.) He said that it was sort of a at-your-own-risk/knowing what is safe for you sort of thing. So we went.

At some point after we’d carried our equipment a quarter mile down Desert Inn, Officer Dweezle decided that he changed his mind after someone else said something to him. By that point we had no choice… either leave or walk very, very slowly back towards our vehicles, since we were being threatened to be cited or arrested and our cars towed. What ever shall we do officer?!?@#? Drag our feet like we’ve never drug them before, that’s what. The video is shaky and not up to the “While Las Vegas Sleeps..” quality assurance department’s standards.. but it will have to do.

Having a cop on video telling me via his bullhorn that I’m seriously testing his patience is, well, priceless. Enjoy! (I feel a ringtone coming on, baby!)

Thanks to DJ Miss Dust and Kevin Forte for some slick house beats for our video…
