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
  • Last visit to Las Vegas: Dec 1988

    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^=

    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.
