Wow...As a manual wheelchair user, I have hated these scooters since I saw the first one. Unless you have problems with your arms, then work your muscles and get some exercise by pushing. As far as able-bodied people using these think, that's just plain wrong.

But Troy Burgess, a 21-year-old optician visiting from Detroit, said he considers it “immoral” for an able-bodied person to rent wheels.”

Wouldn’t want to do anything immoral in Vegas.

And not only that, but “you probably wouldn’t pick up too many chicks on that scooter.”

Young guy who can afford $40.00 a day to sit on his a$$, plus drink, gamble, etc.,Troy, you don’t know a lot about the women in Vegas.

Let’s see. If you hit the Vegas buffet lines (and most tourists do) do you really want to go around in motorized wheel chairs? I am planning on going to Vegas in November and I was already thinking of doing a lot of walking to counteract all that chow I will be scarfing down.

Possibly lazy, but hardly immoral.

Its not like these are rare devices and using one denies a handicapped person a vehicle. Vegas will buy as many as it needs to serve its paying customers.

I see perfectly healthy people using these things all the time. In Wal-Mart, I see people I know using the free ones they provide, when they are walking under their own power everywhere else I see them. There are a couple of (young) welfare recipients in my town who recently got one of these things via my tax dollars, and now drive it all over town. I sincerely hope they scoot out in front of a semi some day soon.

Las Vegas sucks anymore anyhow. A bonafide tourist trap. Any bargains there are rapidly disappearing.

You always lost money gambling, but now they have to push it even further with crap like 6-5 blackjack. The Islamic terrorist leaning cabdrivers jack up the fares by hitting the tunnel even when you specifically tell them not to. Geez, even mainstream chain stores like Walgreens pile on in the price gouging.

I wish the mob still ran the place.

Last time I was at Disney World they made the trip a nightmare. Was constantly getting
my feet run over, banged into and constantly bumped and jostled. And for most of the riders
it was clear walking would be a good thing for them.

[poobear]

Well, I was out there in March. I didn’t mind the walking so much. I just couldn’t get ENOUGH WATER! The entire time I felt like I was in a desert. Oh, never mind...

[Larry Lucido]

Lazy? Yes. Immoral? Give me a break.

[RGSpincich]

Where will it end? I hear that in Las Vegas they even have little carts on the golf courses.

[P.O.E.]

Just release a few Daleks to keep order.

[Shqipo]

The “George Costanza 3000” model comes with an insertable catheter for those too freakin lazy to leave the slot machines to piss.

Simon Lezama, 27-year-old tourist from Odessa, Texas, drinks beer as he cruises around the pool area at the Riviera hotel-casino in Las Vegas.

Simon Lezama , 27-year-old tourist from Odessa, Texas, drives his electric mobility scooter at the Riviera hotel-casino in Las Vegas, Friday, May 18, 2007. "It was all the walking," Lezama said on his red Merits Pioneer 3. Lezama , a trim and fit-looking restaurant manager from Odessa, Texas, rented it on day three of his five-day vacation, "and now I can drink and drive, be responsible and save my feet."

Last time I was in Las Vegas, (late June 2006) the daytime temperature was 115 and it cooled off to the high 90's around mid-night. While I would feel uncomfortable driving one of these things, there is something about walking around in that heat all day and ending up smelling like the third day of telecommuting.

Whoever came up with the Deuce should get a raise, and maybe have a street named after him.
