New Gilley's at Treasure Island

[teammtrsprts]

FYI The Legend returns!

The new Gilley's "the original country honky tonk" is re-opening this Friday at The Treasure Island Resort.

About time a real Country honky tonk opens in Vegas!

It should be interesting to see how long Stoney's stays in business! "Harold Gray "manager" and Chris Louden "owner"

Son, there haven't been any real honky tonks since before Urban Cowboy was released. Real honky tonks aren't part of a billion dollar Strip resort.

OLD Man,

I don't know who you are?

If you are my father how come you didn't pay child support!

I'm not your SON!

Oh come on Billy I don't think he meant it as a slam to you I think he was having a little fun with it. And if he was my bad for trying to see the ligther side of things

That most definitely wasn't a slam by Dave, it was the "voice" of the statement. It is misinterpretations such as this which make me detest forums to some extent.

Anyway, on that note, Dave is one of the wittiest blog writers I have ever read. If you have a chance read through his blogs as they are a hoot. You should be writing for a magazine Dave! That and selling t-shirts with the "Feel the Suck" slogan... makes me chuckle every time I think it.

Looks like we need to take Bill to a real honky tonk. The kind where there is chicken wire around the stage and peanut shells on the floor so they don't have to clean the tables and to soak up the beer and the blood. Iconic places like Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa or the original Gilley's, not that hippy and Yankee infested joint they run in Dallas these days.

Now Bill, when someone calls you "son", that's good. That means they aren't going to shoot you or drag you down the street behind their truck. It's term of endearment. Now, if you are in the honky tonk and they call you "boy", well, that's bad. That usually means someone is either going to be a butt whuppin' or someone will have to run for their life. In the olden days that also meant there might be a weapon brandished. Typically the level of weapon is proportional the amount of liquor consumed.

Next time we'll cover the difference between "y'all" and "all y'all". Ya got that thar, son?

[dave]

Thanks Chet. If I thought they'd let me put that on the car I would. We're trying to think fo something family oriented (somewhat) to put on the car until we can start 1) finishing races and 2) running toward the pointy end of the grid before I go after someone to help sponsor the car. We're getting there.

If'n y'all wanna be in the mud, blood and beer(look up Johnny Cash on wikipedia), come on down to Hog's & Heifer's, race team meeting is every Thursday at 6:30, or you can buy the hot bartenders and scotty, jimmy, shannon and myself a shot on Saturday's after the races!!!!! Sorry, no chicken wire on the stage, we stole it for our race cars!!!!

Know that funny I don't care who ya'll are that funny Harold I fixin to take ya'll up on that

Chet,

You know who I am and why I have thick skin.

I don't appreciate people who talk down to other to try and make a point!

Where I come from, if I have not met someone, I call them by their formal name or SIR!

Dave,

I understand what you meant and FYI, I have also been around!

As for Country clubs in Vegas, it doesn't get any better than Gilley's!

I am looking forward to the grand opening next weekend!
