First Visit to Vegas
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Everyone said that I should go to Las Vegas. People were incredulous that I had never been there. I resisted.
“It’s decadent!” “I hate gambling!” “Look at all that waste of electricity!”
Finally, in 2008, I went to Vegas.
Excess and excitement
Precisely the reasons I refused to go are the reasons to experience Las Vegas – at least once.
Entering Vegas from the south, we experienced the excess and elegance that is Vegas. A wedding party was camped out at the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign, immortalizing their vows and blocking traffic.
