Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson

"Vegas is so full of natural freaks -people who are genuinely twisted- that drugs aren't realy a problem, except for cops and the scag syndicate. Psychedelics are almost irrelevant in a town where you can wander into a casino any time of the
day or night and witness the crucifixion of a gorila-on a flaming neon cross that
suddenly turns into a pinwheel, spinning the beast around in wild cir cles above
the crowded gambling action."
