Laters Vegas

Vegas is spectacular, no doubt. You have to fly in and look out the window to appreciate how people could manipulate a desert like they have here in Nevada. My first thought of Vegas was glamour and heat. Because we were there in November it was damn cold…once the sun goes down its hoodie time. Some days the sun was blazing but the temp had to be around 10c. Glamour- yes! Themed hotels are crazy, but if you don’t have money its ok, you can walk into hotels and mooch off free drinks and entertainment and all-you-can-eat buffets, it’s all about getting you to gamble, if you look the part they will treat you well. If you come sun to Thurs, accommodation is cheap, and over the weekend you can move to a hotel off the strip for cheaper rates and dodgier crowds if you wanted too. What I found out about Vegas is its damn sleazy, you can’t walk down a street or get into a cab without being offered sin service….and between all the glamour of what you see on TV and in your own eyes there is trash (is that the  word?) e.g. couples Hawaiian shirts, slippers on the gambling floor, fat people on mobility scooters drinking soda from 5L buckets, people sleeping on slot machines -  people that are obviously gambling their life away…it’s got to be the meeting point for everyone to taste the high life. I’m not bagging on Vegas, I’m a fan! See you later Vegas
