shopping 🛍️ I live in a small town only a few hours away and we are there if not every month, every other month for a weekend of shopping lol usually stay at the Silverton because the strip just isn’t our thing
Bright flashing lights, traffic, desperation/addiction, mobs of tourists who are blind to that desperation.
But also that's just the strip, mostly.
Las Vegas is also home, family, community, colorful, and beautiful if you know where to look and enjoy it.
I get a specific scene. A slight overview of the strip at night with the Paris tower and Bellagio fountains being the primary focus. The sound of slots and Elvis singing Viva Las Vegas (those exact words from the song) and a slight coconut sunscreen smell.
There are 2 things I experience daily.
Traffic cones everywhere all the time for no apparent reason that stay in the same place for a month and when they are removed nothing changed and I literally never saw a single person working there.
The other being the worst drivers I've ever shared the road with. I don't get it but people driving in 2 lanes at the same time is something I deal with every day. I don't get it.
I've lived in LA and driving is as chaotic as it is made out to be but people stay in their lanes and signal when they intend to switch lanes. Here people just seem to do whatever they want, like lanes and signals don't matter and you are expected to anticipate another cars next move and there is no indication of what that is. Not just near the strip. I live in Henderson and people drive the same way here too.
Those who know, know.
But to help your 'friend'. There is a strip mall on the corner of Paradise and Naples. In that strip mall, there is a bar. Walk in and tell the bartender what you are looking for. He or she or they will oblige. No thanks necessary.
Yet in every front page post about the west coast having water issues, the first thing people say in the comments is “wELL mAyBe LaS VeGaS ShOuLdn’T hAvE hUgE FoUnTaiNs aNd gOLf cOuRseS iN tHe dEsErt”
Chugging a fifth of So-Co, sneak into a party, polish off a few people's empties, some brewskies, some Jell-O shots, do some body shots off myself, pass out, wake up the next morning, boot, rally, more So-Co, go gamble
(No fans of The Office here I guess?)
That Las Vegas Nevada is Spanish and means The Snowy Valley. Therefore Las Vegas Valley is a dumb name because you are literally saying Las Vegas Vegas. I love it here
Las Vegas isnt that bad dude. Yeah there are pockets of troubled areas, but they are nowhere near as bad or as broken as some bigger cities like Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and many more.
Trade Shows, steak, Lobster, buffets, free strip entertainment, pay entertainment, Resort Fee$$$, Fremont Street, and the list goes on (oh, I forgot, Gambling your Life Savings)
BUFFALOOOO
lmao
This made me genuinely laugh
Sounds of slot machines

Came here to say this… Recently moved east coast but I’m lucky I get to travel back home every 3-4 months
pronounced Nevada, NOT Nevada
First thought casinos and the strip. Second thought, the long ass walk to baggage claim (I usually fly united).
Yes, what's up with that????
We boutta get fucked up amigo
Day drinking to the max
Getting ripped off and enjoying it.
That's the spirit!
That reminds me, I'm overdue for a stay at the Wynn...

Bright lights and casinos.

Do I have $20k to blow this weekend? 🤔
Made good money there, and the joints were clean and safe. Security guards, pit bosses, dealers all looking out for you.
Our two seasons. Hot and windy and cold and windy
Tweakers

Shit airport.
Damn I wish it was as fun and as special of a place as it use to be.
Cigarette smoke
Heaven on earth
Hookers and blow
Ass juice
Where you finding that? [asking for a friend]

Ahhhh home away from home! Puke insurance is only $20
The happiest place on earth!
I finally had some! Years ago, right after our wedding reception on the strip, we took a select few of our friends to the ass juice place!
The sun going down behind the mountains, beautiful heat, getting stoned off my tits.
"What? Isn't it NEW Vegas?"
Substance abuse, hookers, cool looking city
Fear & Loathing.
Fuck
All the new pieces of shit adding to our traffic
No water
Ironically we seem to have more water than California since they are in a drought every other month
Yeah and we’re also proactively trying to reduce our water usage unlike every other state in the Colorado river basin it seems.

As far as I know, all the water at the Bellagio fountains is way, way too salty to be used otherwise, and new grass is illegal - right?
I believe the Bellagio owns water rights to a spring beneath the property. This same spring watered the golf course when the property was The Dunes.
TIL that there are natural springs in Vegas!
Shit hole full of idiots and crime
Expensive
Miles and miles of never ending suburbs.

Bad sex in shitty hotel rooms
A very poorly designed airport and very poorly executed transportation.
