Las Vegas Blvd N at night
Bill is in the building!

I haven't gone to "Sin City" since 1994. Prior to that, I had gone several times when I lived in Arizona. I'm not a big fan of gambling or Las Vegas, in general. But, when a friend invited me for a four-day trip to the most fabulous place on earth, I couldn't say no. I was curious to visit all the new hotel-casinos that have gone up in the interim. They are imposing, but with all the glitz and glamour, the idea is the same, to get the people who come in to look around to spend their money on the slots or the gaming tables.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Lots to see and do.
  • Cons:Expensive, disappointing in what you get for what you pay.
  • In a nutshell:Glitz, lights, gambling, and commerce, everywhere!
