George Carlin Can't Stay Away From Vegas

Although he is no fan of the place:
"It is the most dispiriting, soul-deadening city on earth."

But despite his obvious loathing of the town, there is something about Las Vegas that keeps bringing Carlin back. Unlike most comics his age, Carlin still has work to do.

...“So, Las Vegas provides an easy place to go to where the audience keeps changing. You don't tap it out. But the price I pay for that is the audiences are not the best in Vegas. In Pittsburgh I get the hardcore fans who know what I am about. In Las Vegas often I get people who saw me on Leno or got a coupon. It doesn't work easily. Each night (in Vegas) I have to find out how they are going to be and I have to train them."
