What is it about Las Vegas that keeps people coming back?? When they first opened casinos up here in Canada and in different parts of the U.S. a lot of people predicted that Las Vegas and Reno would really suffer as people could now gamble close to home and didn't need to spend money on airfare to get their gambling fix. I actually have a casino thats less than a mile from my house. Now I know Reno has suffered as there are a lot less bus companies taking people there than say even 5 years ago but Vegas is a different story. We now have direct flights from where I live to Las Vegas and that's something we didn't have 5 years ago.
I constantly get asked why I am going back to Las Vegas this year having been there twice last year. Why don't I go to somewhere else? Don't I get bored going there? The simple reason is that Las Vegas has everything that I like in a holiday. It has great weather so we can sit at the pool, it has great shows which I always try and take in one everytime we go. It is easy to get to and a safe place to visit (unlike a lot of places in the world today). There are no worries about food, water or language. It has the best people watching in the world. You never get bored as there is always things going on 24 hours a day. It has gambling (if you like that), it has cheap drinks (basically free if you are gambling), its really inexpensive compared to other places especially if you go back to the same hotels. There are so many different restaurants to eat at that you will find any type of food you desire. What's not to like?
I remember spending two weeks in Hawaii several years ago. We actually spent 1 week on Oahu and 1 week on Maui. It was a fun relaxing holiday but basically we spent 2 weeks on the beach. I need more than that in a holiday now. I mean we can still get sun at the pool in Las Vegas but after a couple hours of being at pool I am ready to do something else. In Las Vegas the options are endless. Meanwhile the countdown continues.
I know you're excited as it gets closer. There are gambling places and then there's Vegas.
ReplyDeleteSo you're not excited at all about Vegas...
ReplyDeleteYep not excited at all. Ha Ha. No matter how many times I go I still get excited about it
ReplyDeleteYep Memphis. I never get that same feeling going to the casinos here.
ReplyDeleteJust joshing - looking at your other Vegas posts - very interesting. Will have an opinion once I'm done.
ReplyDeleteI read your Vegas posts - you're certainly an afficionado. I looked at Vegas Rex on your recommendation. Well, he certainly paid the WSOP short shrift, but he does love big tits. I think more respect is needed for such a HUGE event. Unless Jennifer Tilly is in the house, big stacks mean something else at the WSOP. But that's OK, there's room for everyone on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteYes good old Rex does like his ladies that's for sure. He's always an interesting read. I agree with you on the WSOP. I think its a great event.
