My dad died late last year. We were estranged, hadn't talked in more than 10 years, but I'm the next of kin. He was estranged from almost the whole family. We had a simple service, and I told his parents I was having the ashes scattered at sea, a service provided with the cremation.
But he hated water, he hated the beach, he had no fondness for natural scenic beauty. The only place I know he liked was Las Vegas. So I will be heading out there to dispose of him, by myself.
So there is the Welcome to Vegas sign, the Bellagio fountains, I figured I would pick out a rooftop bar somewhere. Any tips?
I kind of just want to talk about it. Being in Vegas alone will be weird, but I remember in my youth I found solo travel to be refreshing.

Thanks man. I got some rum in me also.
I don't feel a whole lot about it. I got the emotions I didn't know I had out at the service... I think it was more nervousness.
My little brother, who wasn't even as close with my dad as I was, and has conflicted feelings, was informed of this by our mother, who has a big stupid fucking mouth. He asked me if I was going to "say anythign" like I would talked to a bunch of dust.
I planned to write the full eulogy I should have spoke at his funeral, and then burn it, or pitch it in the water, but I just kind of said I didn't know.

How do you mean?

Are there any strip clubs with fountains?

If he hated water, why not out in the desert somewhere, where you can see the city lights in the distance?

me >>36585954 again. just try to say something when you release the ashes. at the very least it might be cathartic for you.

Chuck that shit into the fountain outside the Bellagio during a primetime show
for those who haven't been, it's that fountain show after the heist in Oceans Eleven

My dad is old and he loves vegas, I live in the suburb outside of Las Vegas.
My dad loves red rock Canyon. It's near Vegas.
Or the lonliest highway.
If you have a car it's not all too far from the Las Vegas strip.
I dunno how I will feel if my dad dies.
He's pretty mad at me at times.

I wish you the best of luck. Losing a family member is a really bad experience but I hope that you can resist the pain caused by his loss.

Yeah,not hats why I was thinking the Welcome sign, the fountains just seem like kind of an iconic place. I had considered driving out to red rock.
>>36586615
Do you think the crowd would make it more or less likely I'd be spotted?
>>36586687
Which one is the loneliest highway?

I mourned him a long, long time ago. Now it's more like recognizing the empty space he left.
