I have to tell you my story. In 2002 my dad was lost in Las Vegas. He couldn't find his car. Once he called me I phoned the manager of his seedy motel (right across from the Stratusphere (sp). They kept him though he wasn't paying his bill. Called the IHOP nearby and they were feeding him w/o bill being paid. Gave them all my credit card and was on my way. I did go to the management of both with boxes of candy to say thank the staff for their kindness. But the point is, it was Las Vegas. They heard every sad story from people but they were compassionate to my dad.They didn't have to. It still amazes me when I think of it. He wasn't there gambling, it was business but he was run down and dementia was having its was with him, which was the beginning of our awareness of his situation.
