If I’m traveling, I don’t want to spend half a week in a theme park designed for obese Americans, especially not one where the weather can strip paint.

I’ve been there before and found it uninteresting. And I prefer to gamble on things where I have a larger chance of winning.

Seriously, other than bad simulations of Europe and legal bordellos outside of city limits, what does Vegas offer that I can’t get within 100 miles of NYC?

I might have gone in the 1950s when you supposedly could see nuclear tests from rooftops of certain buildings in LV 🙂 I’d have made sure to pack some lead-lined long johns and welder’s goggles, of course.

I don’t want family-friendly. I could have lived with a town with mobbed-up casinos and atomic fireworks for a backdrop.
