Been there. Not my kind of place but the people watching is pretty interesting. I went to a high end strip club and our strippers name was Heather. That’s all I will say about that. 😜
I never cared for Vegas either. It offends my Puritan sensibilities. Plus, you can’t go to the hotel pool without feeling like you have to be blonde, 6 feet tall and model thin.
I worked Vegas for 3months many moons ago…I promised myself I would Never go back as a worker, only as a Tourist! And I did 3 times already! The Real Essence of Vegas plays out Daily on the Streets!…Strolling It is a Delight! Find a perch somewhere near the sidewalks on the main drag and Watch All Walks of Life Parade By! The Side Shows for cheap prices can be Can Be Allot Of Fun Too!
I haven’t been to the Las Vegas Strip in years. I miss the days of $1 Blackjack tables where you could play for a long time and not lose much money. The last time I went, it was to see a show, do the spa thing at Mandalay and play some penny slots. I think we stayed at the Stratosphere. Loved the outlet mall there.
True that, I shouldn’t malign the folks who live in Las Vegas proper for the sins of the Strip. Hell, one of my favorite writers, Ed Zitron, lives here, and says he loves the city.
It is just that the strip is so gaudy, so fake, and so damn crowded that it is what I think of when I hear ‘Vegas’.
None of this information is new. It’s always been this way.

You hate “The Strip.” The city of Las Vegas is a whole different ballgame. We moved to NW Las Vegas four years ago and love it.

Thank you for your note!
Grew up there. Hated it. Got out as soon as I could and now only go back to visit friends and relatives. It’s mot easy on the locals either
