That's about it. It's Nevada. My wife would never set foot in this cheap motel room! It's pretty bad.
How do you cope with long, boring drives? ( or a 22 year old man with a serious sense of entitlement and no job and dropped out of school I bought all books for????)

Buy a cb radio and mess around with truckers, pretend to be a woman with the moniker candycane and tell the trucker to meet you (candycane) in the hotel room next to you. Just hope that you do not find the occupant of the next over hotel room with his jaw missing in the middle of the road the next morning.

You do realize that having friends over while his aunt and her husband were out of town was what got him booted....better watch out for your neighbors!

Don't worry about the boy, first serious girlfriend should clear all that up. 
This is why mothers envy their daughters-in-law; the moms spend half their lives trying in vain to get the kid to pick up his socks and the new wife comes along and suddenly the boy will vacuum, do dishes, tidy up, etc. 
Maybe ask around among your friends' daughters for a blind date for your son? Preferably with an ambitious, goal-oriented, college-attending girl.
