The Vegas thing is interesting. Why do partiers go to Vegas? Is it because there's an infrastructure there of bars and strip clubs and stuff? I don't really think it's just that. I figure it's more of a culture where "I can misbehave and probably won't get arrested or see anyone I know". I hope people don't do the marijuana tourism thing in Colorado for that reason. I don't envision this place becoming a big outdoor party.

Now that I think about it, where will the marijuana tourists smoke? I don't think they can smoke at the shops that sell it. They can't smoke in public on the streets. They can't smoke in restaurants or bars. Maybe they can smoke in their hotel rooms if they get a smoking room, but that doesn't seem like a wild time. I've never thought about that.

Denver and every other city that can accommodate tourists is going to get $$$$. People are going to want to smoke with like minded people, try the local product out and experience a new scene that is developing in CO. Im sure there will be an abundance of places and people celebrating 420 there.

Im also sure that large CO cities will be more than accommodating for that special day.
