Can you hear the perpetual heartbeat that never dies down? The shuffling of cards, the clicking of roulette wheel, the clatter of tossed dice, the spinning of slot machine, a whisper prayer for 21- This is it! The music of Las Vegas.
When somebody says 'Casinos' the only place that strikes our mind is 'Las Vegas'. A place where time and money are never enough, where clocks don't exist and you become a millionaire with the blink of an eye.
The moment you hit Vegas you better kick up a few glasses of a drink maybe a vodka, gin or a tequila and then set out to have your wildest dreams come true. (literally!)
An 8.5 acre lake in the middle of a desert with 1,214 spritzers that shoot water upto 460 feet in air.
This here is a bit pricey. The tickets can go upto $165 per person, but it's worth it. They hire former Olympic gymnasts that catapult themselves over the stage. You need 3 hours from an evening to enjoy this. It probably sounds a bit boring but believe me this is TOTALLY Vegas.
We generally hate clubs due to their painfully loud music, too-sweet, over price drinks, and people who are generally SO much better looking than us. But if you want to stare at young girls dancing on a table or go to a strip joint then 'spearmint rhino' and 'crazy horse too' is your thing. Happy?! Now get out there and dance no matter how drunk and wasted you might be.
- Pool parties - so Vegas-ish:
There's dirty Vegas — strip clubs, hookers, cocaine, hotel room swingers — and there's filthy Vegas: pool parties. The theory to pool partying is this: Why go to a strip club when you can let the strippers come to you. We'd usually stick with the just slightly more adult pool/club scenes. (topless is strongly encouraged so no kids) You'll have to pay to get in these (usually $10-$20 for women and $30-$50 for men) which is kind of ridiculous but believe me you'd be spending a whole lot more inside and later when you'll be checking into a hotel with somebody you met while partying.
Whew! Watching live sharks on your tv at 4am when you're completely wasted Is pretty awesome. ;)
Why would somebody come to Vegas and be under stimulated? (It would be like visiting a holy place and eating pork) But apparently some people think massage as a decadence. It took a while for this town to understand that women exist as something more than entertainment to men, But they've finally got it. ;)
Now maybe a few of you are feeling like Nicolas Cage from the movie leaving Las Vegas and now maybe all this Vegas isn't quite right for your suicidal mood and that's when you hit the really tiny, old part of Vegas where you feel like an outlaw and spend your night playing poker.
After all that if you've still got time you can hit the Liberace museum, the small over price but legit Gallery of fine art and the weird zoo exhibits of tigers and dolphins at Mirage or you can go to the gun store where without anything less than a drivers licence spend all day shooting tommy guns, Ak-40's, SAWs, Uzis, M-16s and MP-40s for less than $100.
If all this doesn't complete your fully American experience of the most American city you can always go to a chappell and marry a stranger. ;)
