Las Vegas is (in)famous for its varied entertainment (Cirque de Soleil and Dream among them), reasonably priced hotels, gambling and showgirls.

In reality, it is a fine city with a good university, natural history and science (three, varied), children's, railroad, atomic testing and art museums, a botanic garden, a pleasant temperature in winter, and a middle class atmosphere to much of the City. Varied foods offered at the many ethnic and North American restaurants.

Nearby lakes, Mojave Desert flora and fauna close by. Not far to Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Zion National Park.

An excellent place to visit in winter and spring, but hot in the summer.

I knew a guy who apparently really made it big in Las Vegas. He went there in a $12,000 car and after about a week, came home in a $200,000 Greyhound bus.

Actually, if you don't get all caught up in the crapola, it's a fairly interesting place. My wife and I spent about a week there as guests of a distant relative of my wife's. The relative's husband played electric guitar in a four-piece band that was backing a girl singer in a lounge in one of the casinos. I learned that there is one helluva lot of talent in Vegas that nobody ever hears of. The girl singer was fantastic!

We didn't go to any of the big shows (some are kinda pricy). We did a bit of gambling one evening (Barbara's relative insisted that you can't come to Vegas without at least having a little flutter). I won about twenty bucks at keno, a game I know nothing about. I would have like to take a crack at the blackjack tables because you can win at that if you know what you're doing, and I'm pretty good a blackjack.

Around the casinos, the food is good and really inexpensive. What they may lose on the food, they figure they'll make up on the slot machines. And there are slot machines everywhere! Never touch 'em. They're set, or so I was told, to pay out about 30% of what they take in. But since all you have to know is how to put a coin in a slot and pull a handle, they're generally played by drooling idiots and the senile.

Fun town. Interesting stuff to see and it's not ALL kitsch.

His bodyguards were IMO at fault. They couldn't have protected him dressed in shorts sitting in a pool. He should have known better than to invite unknown young women into his private apartment, it shows a lack of judgment. And he is not just any young man, he is the Queen's grandson and in fact represented her at the closure of the Olympics. As such it's undignified and embarrassing to have pictures of him in the nude on view around the world. He isn't in fact all that 'young'. Many men his age are fathers and have a mortgage etc. And he has a life of great privilege and wealth. This I'm afraid comes at a price.

It's solved one problem at any rate. For some time now, I've been pondering the question of what we do with the royal family once the revolution has taken place. That's the socialist revolution of course.

Being a humane and charitable individual, I would be dead against shooting them or otherwise disposing of them in a cruel manner.

One or two are now so old that they should be safely confined to a care home, and I would insist that the quality of service be at least as good as that which my late mother was lucky enough to enjoy.

Of the others, one or two are barking mad and would have to be forcibly detained for their own good.

That leaves those who are at least physically able to work. Here though, we run into the problems of skills and experience, or rather the lack of them. Some of them could be employed as cleaners or waitresses or other menial but intellectually undemanding jobs. But there's at least one member whose future is assured.

Can't you just picture it? Ladies night at the local social club. The punters sat rigid in rampant anticipation, while the compere announces the next act.

Yes but the absence of DNA test results to the contrary speaketh volumes. I mean, why wouldn't they just put the bloody thing to rest if they could. I care not a jot, to be honest. Anyway, the fact that he was "doing it" corgi-fashion to a young woman is irrelevant. I envy him that, frankly. What is a tad more questionable is his judgement, let alone exhibitionist tendencies, in carrying out a sex act in front of someone else in the room. That someone with a camera. When you're supposed to be a bloody royal. What a twat!

And moreover, Steve: would you not agree that if they had been unwise enough to DNA test when the rumours first arose, and they had proved that Hewitt indeed had no place in the matter, there would have been plenty ready to mutter or shout 'cover-up'. Trouble is, once any such story gets current, (from Holocaust-denial to moon-landings being filmed in the Arizona desert to Myra Hindley having been released on the qt but an empty coffin buried for fear of public repercussions), there are always plenty of awkward people who persist in believing the perverse 'flat-earth' version!

James Hewitt bears more than a strong resemblance to young Harry.Diana admitted she was very attracted to "The Love Rat."

Unfortunately for Hewitt, the boy is his double. Hewitt even told the press that he was prepared to be hypnotized(which makes any statement less credible,the subconscious is not a reliable memory source,to answer was Harry his love child...no wonder people's tongues are wagging!

I chose to believe with Hewitt told a close friend--that he was on Diana at any given opportunity during their affair. The affair which produced young Harry Hewitt.

Diana was not a totally stupid woman and knew of the importance of presenting the Windsors with an heir and a spare before embarking on numerous other affairs.


No wonder Harry is said to have problems... he is Hewitt.

Michael, you mentioned DNA testing: Harry wanted to take the test and the Queen said no,there was no need to bow to the salacious gossip.Harry is Hewitt's son, the Windsors have had the test done, be assured of that.

Harry is a much-loved son and grandson. Whoever his father was/is doesn't alter the fact that he's a member of the Royal Family in their eyes. As such, he must be prepared to modify his behaviour to some extent to conform to what is required by his position. IMO he lacks judgment and fails to realise that even in 'private' he cannot overstep the mark without seriously damaging the dignity of his family. One ought not to forget however that his childhood must have been extremely difficult and the tragedy of the loss of his mother when he was only twelve cannot have left him unscathed.

It is time to drop this thing about a troubled childhood, his father is James Hewitt, Prince Charles knows it, watch the body language between them. His mother saw more cocks than Bernard Matthews and was "removed" as she was about to marry a Muslim.

Someone calls me 'a royalist above. To clarify, I am not doctrinairely so: rather a 'let·it·be·for·fear·of·something·worse'-ist, a 'don't·fix·if·not·bust'-ist. And it isn't bust. The present incumbent sets a fine dignified example imo; and after years of perhaps too laid-back a refusal to commit publicly to much, recently in Olympic Opening revealed a hitherto much unexpected aspect of personality. As for setting examples, as urged by Owen ~ George IV? Edward VII? Come now. Re expense: do presidency-upkeeps not cost the public purse as much as any monarchy? Are presidents immune from immoralities & sex scandals ~~ like Clinton & that present Eyetie incumbent? Oh, come on again. There have been some dire members of our royalty, to be sure, like our present Gracious Lady's horrible late sister Margaret, snobbish & vain, whose best friends were required to call her Ma'am at all times (I often wonder whether Armstrong-Jones, Earl Snowdon, had to say "Knees a little more raised, if it so graciously please you Ma'am" while begetting Lord Lynley); but they are mostly much better than her.

As to Young Harry: agree with Eliza that a little more thought, even when not at work, to expectations and appearances would not hurt ~~ he is 27, not 17. But, as my late mother-in-law used to say, "It is hardly a hanging matter", surely? Lighten up for crying out loud, some of you.

But the niceness is irrelevant. the royalty stuff gives the red light for all sorts of people to think they're summat special. Its a sort of gold standard of inequality that every jumped up little git in England aspires to.

Take this business of Harry calling one of the men under his command 'my little paki friend'. The guy can't object. If you'd done that as a teacher Mike, it would be instant dismissal. Or if a policeman had done it. Any other public servant in fact. That establishes inequality.

Harry does look remarkably like Hewitt. It's plausible.

He also acts a bit like the renownedly erratic Hewitt.

BUT he is a part of the royal family if not the royal bloodline.

Princes tend to get more than ordinary blokes but with the privilege comes the responsibility of not being seen to be acting like a louche and irresponsible playboy.

He does look remarkably like Hewitt indeed; but, equally to my mind, like the Spencers ~~ I commend you yet again to Gainsborough's portrait of the first Earl on the wiki page about the earldom, which is what he will look like in 30 years or so. Is it not possible that his attraction for the errant Princess was that she was somewhat family-fixated, & fell for the man who reminded her of a beloved brother? BTW, GUEST; I feel bound to say that I agree with you to extent I have never believed her death to have been accidental- any more than Marilyn Monroe's. The idea of the future king having Muslim half-siblings must have been too much for them to contemplate. But this is, of course, no less pure speculation than all those 'facts' which you promulgated with such absurd certainty.

Ah, yes. The driver of the car agreed to be slaughtered with her. Perhaps his family was to be paid a LOT of money. But he had to get drunk first...

Ebbie ~ Sorry, but do not get your (sarcastic?) point. If the thing did happen as some of us suspect it might have done, then of course the driver was not a knowing or willing part of the operation, but a collateral casualty. And why was he drunk? - he was a professional driver: would he have got so of his own volition?

I repeat ~~ this is obviously speculative; but the whole thing - like, I say again, M Monroe's not altogether dissimilar fate, about which similar theories exist - was just so astonishingly peculiarly convenient to the Establishment, wasn't it?

I've no problem with young Squishy's hi-jinks, but din't think we should be paying for them.

However, I think all you overseas royalists should put your money where your mouth is and stump up a shekel or fifty to fund his beanos. So, in the spirit of international co-operation you can send your hard-earned cash to me and I'll make sure the Hewitt Jr. and the others get it. I'll treat the money your broke your back for with similar reverence and be assured that most of it will end up with the exchequer and subsequently those loveable old royals that you are so supportive of.

From: Rob Naylor

Whatever you think of the antics of Harry, or his parentage, there seems to be an assumption that "we" (if UK taxpayers) are funding his lifestyle.

In fact, the only members of the royal family to get direct state (ie taxpayer) funding are the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, through the Civil List. The state duties and staff of other members of the Royal Family (but NOT the Prince of Wales or his family) are funded from a parliamentary annuity which is fully refunded by the Queen to the treasury.

The Queen claims this amount as a deduction against her gross income from personal investments and the net amount is subject to normal income tax. No different from most other people who claim expenses against taxable income.

Charles and his family's funding comes through the profits of the Duchy of Cornwall, which is a private business. In the same way as many other "family businesses" this is run as a Trust, with the current beneficiary (Charles) having access to the profits, but not the capital. Assets can only be acquired or disposed of via the trustees (Charles being only one of several). Harry's living expenses over and above his pay as a military officer are met by Charles from his DoC income.

The DoC income is by statute tax-exempt, but for many years Charles has voluntarily paid income tax on the profits he takes as income.

You could argue that the DoC benefits unfairly from its tax-exempt status which means that it has more funds to re-invest than a normal private corporation would, and that therefore Charles is able to take out more profit as (taxed) income than he would as the beneficiary of a normal Trust business, I suppose. But the point is that Harry doesn't, as many people suppose, just get a big dollop of taxpayers' cash funnelled into his account every year (other than his military salary).

MtheGM: Someone calls me 'a royalist above. To clarify, I am not doctrinairely so: rather a 'let·it·be·for·fear·of·something·worse'-ist, a 'don't·fix·if·not·bust'-ist..... The present incumbent sets a fine dignified example imo; and after years of perhaps too laid-back a refusal to commit publicly to much, recently in Olympic Opening revealed a hitherto much unexpected aspect of personality.... Re expense: do presidency-upkeeps not cost the public purse as much as any monarchy? Are presidents immune from immoralities & sex scandals ~~ like Clinton & that present Eyetie incumbent? Oh, come on again. There have been some dire members of our royalty, to be sure, like our present Gracious Lady's horrible late sister Margaret, snobbish & vain, whose best friends were required to call her Ma'am at all times...

My dad was a member of Coats Mission (as an ordinary Coldstream Guardsman) until 1942 when he went off to Africa and Italy to fight Rommel. This was a company of Guards who were in close attendance on the royal family at all times with instructions in the event of a German invasion to remove them "willing or not" from danger, transport them over to the west of England and then eventually to Canada if things got hopeless. He always had a lot of time for the young Elizabeth, who he said was respectful and considerate towards the guards, and would crack jokes with them and generally treat them as human beings. He loathed Margaret with an absolute passion. She treated them with contempt and sometimes, when they were on post, she would walk up and down in front of their posts 30 or 40 times, just to make them "present arms", which they had to do every time a royal passed them.

He said one of the prize "stakes" in their card schools was to be one of those assigned to Margaret in the event that the royals were "forcibly removed"....everyone wanted to be one of those troops, so they could take the opportunity to "kick the shit out of the little bitch" as he put it!!!

"Oh! You mean you did, SFJ! Why, silly old you ... no wonder it cost you."

We were there as part of a vertebrate palaeontology conference . . . which was a tad incongruous to say the least. 30 of us walking though the Paris casino covered in desert dust, a tad smelly and dressed in field gear was great fun - I think it even distracted some of the zombies on the slots. Odd place though, and quite bizarre. Arriving on the strip at night was quite something, but in the daylight it all looks a bit like a posh version of Blackpool crossed with the Trafford Centre. Totally devoid of any taste whatsoever, but does have to be seen to be believed.

Actually, I exaggerate a little. It was expensive (hellish for the students), but we found the 5-cent slots and took the free drinks until we had our fill and then we moved on. We also frequented the cheap eats places in Caesar's Palace in the evening and the excellent Denny's in the morning.

Oddly enough, I'd go back and will try tapping Steve Wynn up for £30k's worth of freebies.

I wonder if all of the posts from GUEST are coming from the same person, the guy/girl with the inside dope on the affairs and parentage of the members of the Royal Family. When someone signs as GUEST, it is very easy for others to put words in their mouth.
But if this person is closely associated with the Royal Family, and how else could he/she know all the facts that he/she has been posting, (unless perhaps he/she is bullshitting us, do ya think?) perhaps he/she is not allowed to use a name in order to protect his or her privacy.
