Needless to say, there are plenty of (legal) things to do in Albuquerque. If you’re a nerd through-and-through — someone who appreciates a good nuclear

In an effort to avoid being sued, I won’t call them outright “scams” or “bait and switch” tactics. No, these fall into more of a gray area. Enough plausible deniability on the hotel’s part (“What?
