That sounds like a Richard Gere/hamster-level internet rumor.

Back when I was a kid running around downtown you had to know which streets to avoid just to get to one of the casinos. Drastically different these days

Where are you hearing it was due to nitrous oxide? I see it no where online except this TD thread from you.

Because it isn’t true. It’s such an absurd story that putting holes in it is pointless

Sounds good. What kind of dipshit makes that accusation freely.

guy, where did you get this “whippet death” information about Tony Hsieh and feel confident enough to post on a public forum online? Not saying you are wrong but that’s a bold post from everything else I can gather.

I have no idea if true or not?

But, Google 'Tony Hsieh Nitrous' yields a news link accumalator, with some post mentioning nitrous and ketamine addiction, I didn't click on it.

Sad, as mentioned by two current/former Vegas residents in this thread, TH a great employer in LV with his Zappos campus, and huge philanthropist of the Vegas downtown renovation community.

On a side note, Zappo’s employees will be grateful when the abomination of a management structure is abolished once a new CEO is installed.
