Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream

• In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.
• A little bit of this town goes a very long way. After five days in Vegas you feel like you've been here for five years.
• The Circus-Circus is what the whole hep world would be doing on Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war. This is the Sixth Reich.
• This is one of the hallmarks of Vegas hospitality. The only bedrock rule is Don't Burn the Locals. Beyond that, nobody cares. They would rather not know. If Charlie Manson checked into the Sahara tomorrow morning, nobody would hassle him as long as he tipped big.
