TR Snippet Flamingo Pool Nazi

Poker playing comrade, Dave, told this story at the table.
Apparently, getting in the Flamingo pool is much like getting on the airplane.  There are bag checks and room key checks and no on who is not a Flamingo guest gets to swim there.
Once in, the rules are strict.
Lounge chairs are to be left in their exact starting spots.  Any movement is forbidden, and after one warning, should you move the chairs a second time, you can expect to be expelled from the pool.
In charge of enforcement is some woman who has attained the title of Pool Nazi.
It all sounded like a skit from Seinfeld, "NO pool for you!"

And older couple were enjoying their last day at the Flamingo pool.  She wanted to catch some sun, so he moved his chair four inches to the side to enable her to pull hers out and reverse it.  Then he moved his back.
No warning.
They were banished by the pool Nazi.

It seems the couple were especially nice folks, it was their last day, and they were out of bankroll.  He was so nice that he had bought a homeless man a meal. 
The expulsion embarrassed them and spoiled the last day.  Others were outraged and complained as well.

Compared to my experience at the Stratosphere and at Casesars pool, this is simple incredible.

Dave said there was some complaint being made, and he expected the the pool Nazi might be demoted.

Loved the Seinfeld reference.

It's a good story, unfortunately many good stories are often at somebody's expense.

Was there goose stepping involved?

Haven't been in touch with the LV world since I last emailed you. Didn't know you were going this summer, so a random check of your blog returned a nice surprise.

Summer in Minnesota: not bad.

Hoping to make it to Vegas again this Halloween.

Hope all is well.
