Try this: Sit down at a bar, Order a beer(weather you drink or not), Scope out the potential, then buy the most likely person a drink, Tell that person that your here on vacation and a few things about yourself and where you come from, Then right before you and this stranger run out of things to talk about, Tell him/her(also try a girl who looks hot for you) that your drying out with no connections. That method has worked every-time for me, All over the states I've used that one and never had too many problems. Make it clear that your here on short term, Most people don't want new customers but will help make someones vacation better. :thumbsup:
