Halloween is a fun time for kids. They look forward to it for weeks, even months! They spend time planning their costume, deciding where to go trick or treating, and even what kind of candy they want the most. Yes, Halloween is a fun time for kids, but it can be a dangerous time as well. Masks impair vision, long costumes create a tripping hazard, and preoccupation with the candy haul makes kids less aware of their surroundings. We all want our kids to be safe on Halloween, so here are a few tips to promote safety.Trick or Treat Before DarkSure, it is spookier to go out after dark but for safety stick to daylight hours. Light provides safety from many things that could harm kids. Cracks in the sidewalks and divots in lawns can cause falls and even broken bones, going out in the daylight will help you see hazards such as this before you hit them. Kids in dark costumes are hard for drivers to spot until they are right upon them. Daylight hours allow kids to be spotted by drivers.Carry a LightIf you need to go out later, make sure everyone has some type of light. You can give your kids a standard flashlight, or you can get a specialty light. At Halloween you can find all...more

For anyone who has experienced their local strip club only to find a handful of women even on the busiest of nights, and most of them the not-worthy-of-becoming-a-stripper ladies you went to high school with, Rick's is sure to shake loose those horrid memories.Despite being one of Vegas' busiest and one of the biggest strip clubs in the world at 25,000-square feet, it is likely that on any given night Rick's patrons are outnumbered by the dancers. This club is packed with ladies, sometimes as many as 5 to each guest depending on what time you begin your quest toward the record for most lap dances received.There are two schools of thought to having so many dancers available:One, your brain could go on overload and you won't know which direction to feast your eyes on.Two, it provides you with more than enough entertainment even if you choose to set up shop at Rick's for the entire night.The second is was what goes on at Rick's. It gets even better when, after you've been there for more than a few minutes, you realize you haven't felt the pressure of having to pay every dancer in the club. The girls are among the friendliest around. Most will come to your table and start...more
