George Carlin Hates Vegas

by Gabe Posey

And I don’t blame him in some ways.

Carlin doesn’t care. He expects it. He has been fired by more than one hotel in Las Vegas over the years. And, not just in the old days. According to Carlin, when the MGM tossed him a few years ago, after years of regular shows at the resort, the hotel executives claimed his act had become “too dark.” Carlin was amused. He himself notes: “My history in Vegas is checkered, mixed and scarred.”

The money quote for me, I think, is this:

“It is the most dispiriting, soul-deadening city on earth.”

I agree completely, but I think for George Carlin to say it is like Satan himself swearing off Vegas as, well, it’s too gosh darn hot!
