I went to Vegas about 3 years ago. I had been as a kid with my folks on a roadtrip befor ethat.
Vegas is expensive, unnecesarily expensive.
Vegas is BORING AS FUCK.
I do not drink (cheeba cheeba y'all) and therefore 90% of the activities in Vegas are moot. Gambling is boring. I can lose about $20.00 before I freak out and start to wonder why the fuck I am giving Mafia fucks-gone-"legit" my money.
I stayed at the Golden Nugget, which was very very nice. I toured all the big casinos, and saw the bastard fake opulence known as the Bellagio. Vegas during the daytime ....you can really see what it is. It is fucking Disneyworld. It is fucking six flags, with everything from the rirdiculously priced beverages (non-alcoholic. a 20 oz bottle of water from a machine costs $2.50, and there are NO machines, because they want you to buy your drinks in the casino itself, and thereby, get you to gamble some of your money away.) to stupid over-the top flash and pomp, to the stucco terribly done, near chuck R cheese quality of all the decorations.
I had fun when I went, but mainly because the nugget was anice place, and the buffett there was outstanding ($7.00)
I looked in the phone book for a record store and found one near UNLV and went to it and it sucked. I found one good record.
honestly, if you do not love to drink, then there is no reason to go to Vegas.
the restaurants are ridiculosuly overpriced. the shows are SICK overpriced. a floorshow at a casino with some weak-ass B-level star from yesteryear starts at $100 a TICKET!
the "good" shows (wayne newton, danny gans, sigfried and roy, celine dion) run from $150-$300 for a show, more if you include dinner with it.
it was interesting to see pimps in high end japanese imports pulling up to the Nugget and dropping off opr picking up barbie doll hookers.
I just felt so sad there, watching these people chase after a pot of gold and just emptying their money into these casinos.
I did find a place with cool naked lady playing cards, full action ones, pussy all in your face and puckered assholes and stuff. I bought a bunch for our friends and found it is near impossible to play cards with a naked lady deck.
in other words, FUCK VEGAS
