Just like any other place in daylight. (Almost)
Vegas does sell an image, and most people buy it! No wonder they then think it is true.
I once spent one night in Vegas and believed the image they sold me. In my case it just disgusted me and I moved on....
Later I met an old friend of mine that had lived a few years in Vegas. He told me other things.
Pros and Cons
- Pros:It's easy to get married there
- Cons:I didn't
- In a nutshell:Probably a normal city off the strip

eloquently put. my folks are there at the moment, using their irish luck to good effect. i cent in - 650 dollars out !
6 hours to LA... not too much then. Thanks for the tip. Planning another holiday in the area, starting in LV.
LOL.. no picture of the Las Vegas strip is so old it made me laugh!! . You should see the place now
Vegas is an everchanging city. We try to go a couple times a year and really enjoy it. Although I do gamble we also take in a show or 2 and always have an adventure just choosing where to eat. =^oo^=
Viva Las Vegas! Lots to see and explore besides gambling!
It's very different there now, so much has been built! My favorite part of Vegas wasn't actually Vegas, it was the surrounding areas, like Valley of Fire, Red Rock and Lake Mead.
If I go to Las Vegas, I go for the image. What the locals sell on their pages, is just yet another image. That's just how Las Vegas is, that's how it sells itself, as you well say. The city of illusions...
Had to see what you thought of Vegas. And you thought what I thought you would think.
Gambling? marriage??? not sure which one is more ricky lol ...
I was here when I was 4, I really have never been inclined to return.....kind of makes me think of the twilight zone...
