Do you have a funny Vegas story you can share?

I was performing at South Point Casino and I got head lice, I guess from my son. The owner quarantined me in my room and I had to stay in my room and then he wouldn't let me talk about it on the stage because he didn't want the customers to get scared. If you stayed at South Point, believe me, they have a lot worse things to be scared about than fricking lice. You've seen some of the girls there? You know what I'm talking about.
