It’s that time of year again….
Time for the annual Las Vegas SANTA RAMPAGE!!
Saturday December 16th, 2006 @ 9pm in front of The Bellagio. Join Santa and his elves (and reindeer?) as they make their way up and down the strip singing naughty Christmas Carols, drinking with abandon, spreading holiday cheer, and generally causing mayhem. This has quickly become one of the premiere Santacon’s on the west coast because the Vegas strip is PERFECT for this sort of thing, it’s a no brainer!
There are just a few rules you need to know to have the most fun you will ever have with your pants on!
1. COSTUMES: You MUST be in a Santa, Elf, Reindeer, or other similar COSTUME to attend, so merely putting on a Santa hat with street clothes DOES NOT cut it. PLEASE: DRESS UP or stay home. We really mean this kids.
2. NO ONE IS IN CHARGE. I am not in charge and neither are you ‘Santa’. If ANYONE asks you who’s in charge, the answer always is and has been ‘Santa’. In fact the answer to almost all questions is “SANTA”. “Who are you guys?” Santa “Who set this up?” Santa “Who are YOU?” I’m Santa. “Why are you guys doing this?” Because we’re Santa. See a pattern here? Remember, at this event YOU ARE SANTA and you know when these people are sleeping and awake. Carry yourselves accordingly. Be the Santa.
3. Don’t f**k with security or the cops. Do as you are told. These casinos take their operations very seriously; do what they say promptly and without attitude. If you make trouble, shoplift, or get into an altercation with the cops or security you are on your own and Santa will leave your happy ass to suffer the consequences. Santa has a schedule to maintain.
4. Don’t f**k with little kids. Nothing says “please kick my ass Dad!’ like making a little kid cry. ALWAYS ask permission before giving kids toys, and always be respectful of their parents. Probably best to avoid them whenever possible.
5. STAY TOGETHER. ‘No force on earth can stop one hundred Santas’ is very true. But there are a lot of forces that can stop one or two Santa’s. Stay with the group. Not everyone loves Santa. Don’t get side tracked and be aware of the time. Because when the time comes, Santa is out of there baby! Probably a good idea to print the schedule below.
6. Bring toys or gifts to give out. We like little trinkets or unique gifts. Some Santas carry lumps of charcoal for grumpy people. (yes, they’re out there)
7. Hydrate or die. Remember to drink some water or bring some with you. Though it will be cold, this is still the desert and you’re losing water even though you probably don’t realize it.
8. Bring some cash. Even if you don’t drink, you may want to buy a soda or something and Game Works will cost you around $15 to have any fun at all. Santa WILL ride that mechanical bull!!
Here’s some other tips gleaned from three years of Santa Rampages on the strip:
Leave your house or hotel EARLY. The strip is a complete and total mess on Saturday night (which is why Santa will be there, duh) and parking takes for ever. You won’t want to miss the first hour at the Bellagio because it’s simply not right. So show up promptly at 9pm. Hint: You may want to park at Monte Carlo and walk up to Bellagio to avoid the post event slog back to Bellagio, or,if you plan on dropping out early (pussy), park THERE and then walk to the meet up point at The Bellagio.
Wear comfortable shoes. Santa will be walking around 10 miles on the rampage (sleigh is in the shop).
Your feet will thank you. We will bring some copies of the naughty Carols so we can go caroling together, or print your own, Santa! Many Santa’s prefer to bring their own booze, it’s waaay cheaper.
