An groundbreaking novel with the full title - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream. Authored by Hunter S. Thompson, illustrated by Ralph Steadman. The novel first appeared as a two-part series in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971.
Journalist Raoul Duke and attorney Dr. Gonzo travel to Las Vegas in 1971 to cover a motorcycle race for a sports magazine and enjoy a haphazardly planned vacation. The vacation turns highly irresponsible and reckless as the two consume copious amounts of illegal drugs, commit various acts of fraud, and generally wreak mayhem upon the citizens of Las Vegas.
The novel is responsible for introducing an innovative literary style called gonzo journalism, a style of reporting that mixes fiction and factual journalism.
The novel inspired two movies - "Where the Buffalo Roam" (1980) and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (1998).
I read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", and inspired me to visit Circus Circus while on ether.

Best movie in the world. Superbly acted. Johnny Depp is awesome-so is Benecio DelToro. It is about to men Raoul Duke(Depp)a journalism expert- and his samoan attorney- Dr.Gonzo(DelToro)- that go to Las Vegas to cover the Mint 400 (a motorcycle race)- and to find the American Dream, acompanied by a trunkful of drugs- these to men turn a simple weekend task-into a psycadellic whirlwind... From a word caption for Sports Illustraded, to a book, to the screem- comes a movie both hilarious-and-savage...

The surreal anticipatory period of uncertainty and apprehension during which the real-time performance of a road-side sobriety test hangs in the balance between spectacular, unbelievable success and crushing, hopeless defeat.
Just look at her; she's tryin' her BEST to walk heel-to-toe, watch-the-movin' cop finger, cartwheel, back-flip and hand-stand. Right now she's in Sobriety Test Fear-Fail...better call in the lawyers anyway...

A song by Mick Gordon, from a famous game franchise Doom, especially Doom Eternal. This song is played in the ARC Complex Level. Often has been played in the background in a video or montage of DoomSlayer killing Demons of Hell.
Guy 1: "Do you like the song 'The Only Thing They Fear is you?"
DoomSlayer: "No."
Best movie ever, based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson.
Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals!?
