7 foot long penis-shaped sofa stolen from remnants of now-closed Riveria in Las Vegas

http://www.reviewjournal.com/columns-blogs/norm-clarke/phallic-couch-among-items-stolen-crazy-girls

Bet we won’t see this conversation piece on an episode of “Pawns Stars.”

It won’t be easy to pawn a seven-foot-long couch in the shape of male genitalia.

The couch, featured in one of the numbers in the “Crazy Girls” topless show at the Riviera for years, was among the items missing when the stolen moving truck was found Tuesday.

Video showed two thieves stealing the truck early Monday. Only a handful of items were found when truck box was opened. The truck was the last of four used for the move from the Riviera to the Sin City Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort.

Once in a while, SNL comes up with a terrific skit and that one was in the top 5 (along with Colonel Angus and the Cork Soaker part of the winery tour).

I've been at the Riviera, but I can honestly say that I didn't see a seven foot couch in the shape of a penis. I think that I would have noticed it.

I imagine it could use some cleaning after years of "use".

and a few friends by the "Crazy Girls" metal sculpture, and the thought of the whole place being gone makes me so very sad.

That, to me, is tragic. Made me think of the book "Rat Pack Confidential." There is an amazing photo of the Sands inside, with an old 40s, maybe 50's model car parked curbside and a view of the desert. No highrises, none. Just the Sands, a car, and the desert.

Las Vegas isn't really Las Vegas any more...it's something different with the same name.

The last time I went was with my husband in the late 90s. We used to stay in the Stardust because it was old school. I miss all of it... the way it used to be.
