Is 2 heart related deaths a higher number relative to the amount of patrons vs. say a McD's, an In-and-Out Burger or even a Denny's? Just for fun: what if it were established that Denny's down the street not only had 4 circulatory deaths but even less customers over the last 4 years? Being this is Vegas I'd bet that there would be no national story.

I fail to see how it is anyone's business but theirs. Eating even one high calorie, fat entrenched hamburger does not automatically trigger a heart attack. Unless there is a con-genitive unseen heart problem it is a life long build-up to that point and they could just as well have had that heart attack in Sweet Tomatoes. It's not a forced march situation, leave it alone.

To each his own, but I wouldn't care if I never set foot in the city again. It's an awful place. "I stand semi-corrected. Heart Attack Grill started in Arizona" Well that figures. Another place I find unbearable.

Another place I find unbearable." Nice. Then again, it IS all subjective. I'll be going to Vegas for my 55th birthday in April. My wife loves the town. I've been to Vegas probably 40-50 times over the years. Saw Paul McCartney at the MGM Grand in June of 2011, the Stones at the MGM in 2006. Had a great time. Spent part of my days long 50th birthday party there as well. Matter of fact, my very first trip to Vegas was in January of 1982. I wasn't yet 24. My roommate and I ended up at the original Crazy Horse strip club. I sat next to a very familiar middle aged guy. After a while, he asked me if I knew whose birthday it was that day, or night, by this time it was pretty late. I said Elvis Presley, and the guy next to me yelled THAT'S RIGHT GODAMMIT!!! He bought us drinks and staked us to a pile of money for the strippers until about 5:00 a.m., then we all piled into his limo and he dropped us off at our hotel. It was Jerry Lee Lewis. He was on the bill at the Riviera with Rick Nelson, who hadn't quite exploded his plane yet lighting the cocaine pipe. Despite some really good times at Vegas in the last 30 years, haven't been able to top the first one. Next month we'llbe going to Mesa, AZ for five says to check out Spring training baseball with the Cubs. I've gone every year since 1997. Great time. Baseball, sun and a few beers. I meet up with the same group of Chicago guys I've known forever.
