This is the REAL Las Vegas- from a real live local

by ricknkat - last update: Mar 13, 2003

If you're anything like us, you like to see a bit of the lesser known treasures a place has to offer; the wierd, seedier side of cities and funky places you usually don't hear or read about. I'll try to give my opinions on the better/ cheaper/ more interesting places to check out in the middle of this den of glitzy iniquity. And let's face it, a trip to Vegas really isn't complete without rolling the dice, vicariously taking up the habit of smoking, and spitting in the toilet the next morning. But if you want a tiny bit of culture, you could check out some of the swank buildings and signs I've put in my Sin City Architecture travelogue (work in progress). As I update this site I hope to get more and more unique tidbits for those lower budget/student travellers, architecture hounds, and outdoorsy freaks like ourselves. Enjoy!

In A Nutshell:"You really have to accept Vegas for what it is to enjoy it. If you get hung up on over-analyzing it as the symbol of the slow death of western civilization and the best example of what a city should NOT be, then you're going to be miserable here"

 The Gulch is full of saggy bodies BUT at least the girls (most) are friendly and have a laugh and don't fleece you. Sadly it's my favourite 'girly' bar in LV

 Read your post re: "gold chain/beev skirt" but you never mention the name of the place. I guess I could drive to the address posted, but it would be nice to know the name.
