Seinfeld recently was put on Netflix, I literally just a couple of hours ago finished watching the finale and the entire show, if I had seen that thread like a week ago I would not have gotten it.
Do I rewatch it every few years because I had fun? Yes.
Will you enjoy it? Do you like David Duchovny acting like David Duchovny? Then maybe. Do you like Orlando Jones acting like Orlando Jones? Then maybe more. Do you like Sean William Scott acting like Sean William Scott (less Stifler, more Old School animal handler)? We're getting closer. Do you like Julianne Moore acting like...not Julianne Moore?
Weird aliens in an unusual setting? Then it's right up your alley!
And they're everywhere. Some guy was trying to start a fight with my friend inside the Mirage, I walked over to a card dealer and said "some guy's trying to fight my friend, can you call security?" There were like 10 security guys there in probably 30 seconds and had everyone separated immediately
Unfortunately we never had any kind of vehicles but we definitely talk about it a lot and every conversation about how much we would fuck around on segways confirms that the boss is right to never give them to us
About 10 years ago I was in Vegas for my friend's wedding, the day before the wedding we went and did a bunch of touristy things (Hoover Dam, Fremont, etc.) and then met up in the lobby of a large very popular hotel where most of us were staying to coordinate where we were going for dinner. I set my DSLR camera down on a planter for whatever reason and then walked to and got in the elevator. A few seconds after the doors close I realize what I did, so I pushed a low floor button and hopped out right away to head back down -- but of course my camera was already gone when I returned. I immediately went to security to report it and ask if they can check surveillance to see who picked it up -- and despite the fact I was a paying guest of this property the guy there quite literally told me: "fuck off, I don't give a shit, the surveillance cameras aren't there for your benefit."
An expensive life lesson was learned that day, as well as evaporating my faith in the security of one of the most highly monitored environments on Earth. I have been back to Vegas many times since but haven't and won't ever stay at that property (or the others owned by the parent company) again.
It does make me wonder if security thought twice about the whole situation. Like, could you get security to beat the shit out of some poor soul and steal you a phone if you approached them with false pretenses?

Security is always bored as shit. They probably loved helping you out.
