Just so you know that I'm stuck in the dorm of the University of Canterbury and it's 2340 and I'm a little jetlagging since I come from +GMT8.00, so it hit me that I miss Vegas. Yes I do!
I know I know, who misses Vegas at all?! People miss New York City, LA, may be even San Francisco! And I can imagine you giving me "the eye". But seriously I do.
I suppose part of why I miss Vegas is the glittery night lights (yes I'm like a moth attracted to fire in that sense) and unpretentious people, albeit most are tourists so how unpretentious they can get right? But still, the thing about Vegas is once you are there, you know you're in for a fun time and so are others! Everyone's relaxed and every other people you met is a tourist, even the people working there are really out to make sure you are having a great time! Food is cheap and excellent! A friend of mine brought us to M Resort where we pay USD25 for a international and seafood buffet (ooohh, the snow crabs, oysters, mussels, sushi, roast and those yummy desserts) with unlimited wine and beer. Not just that, accommodation's not too bad if you choose to live slight off the strip! I paid USD50 per night at a resort stay that's self-contained and fully equipped! Steam room, swimming pool, gym and tennis courts. There's even free shuttles to take you on and off the Strip!
I'm not a gambler but I didn't feel left out! Each and every casino has its own attraction and character! I, for one, loves Caesars Palace, Venetian and MGM. There's so much to see and absorb. Another plus point is Vegas is cleaner than NYC, and may be LA too.
I was lucky to see the other side of Vegas lifestyle, it's not all so glamourous and glittery. My friend took us to a suburb where families gather at the green near a mall, listening to live bands. Yup these were young families with toddlers and babies.
But I must say Vegas does live up to its name! All the things you see and hear, such as the girls in their tiny dresses that leaves nothing to the imagination as well as boys with their booze. It's crazy and yet safe if you know what I mean. I could, which we did, walk down the Strip past midnight, feeling rather safe and yet see all those crazy and raunchy stuff happening around us. Everything's big, loud and in your face! You can't miss it! All I can say is, "Long Live Vegas!" and if you haven't been there, you ought to! You may not like it, but you gonna enjoy it anyway. That's Vegas for you!
I'm gonna be posting this show that I really wanted to watch when I was in Vegas, but we missed it and couldn't get other tickets (that was really upsetting). Lo and behold, cover your eyes if you're under 18 or not mature enough to handle it! -Wink wink!
