World Series of Beer Pong 3 - Vegas Round 1 |
The best (and possibly worst) thing that happened was that there was a Del Taco across the street. If you know me (I'm assuming you do because you're here on my site by your own free will) you would know that I love Del Taco. Where else could you get 2 tacos, a hamburger, and fries for under $4?? You'd be lying if you found another eatery with those sweet value options. Tonight was my first visit of many to the greatest fast food joint ever created. |
I think that it's a law to welcome people to your city. Everywhere you go, there is a sign that lets you know where you are (just in case you forget where you are going to). Las Vegas is no different, but they do it with a little more panache and style. It's almost over the top, but everything in Vegas is, so no one really has a problem with it. It says something on the back (I don't remember exactly) but I'm sure it's something along the lines of "Thanks for your money and dignity, sucker!" I just wish the sign laughed at you as you left town. |
Just like many of the people who are there gambling and losing their minds, the city of Las Vegas is lit up at night I did my best to capture this moment so that I could show it to an embarrassed Las Vegas in the daytime, but the result wasn't as embarrassing as I hoped. The city of Las Vegas no longer has dignity, morals, or cares about what the public thinks. So I was left with a picture and no chance at a blackmail scandal. Boy was I pissed. So I just went about my business and hoped for the day to come where I could get even with this city. |
The traffic in Las Vegas is atrocious and uncalled for. Those are some words/phrases that only my Mom uses. There's way too much traffic here, and the worst part about it is that there is no possible way to widen the streets because the hotels and sidewalks occupy the only possible expansion zones. There's just no room, and since this is a popular tourist destination, rental cars, taxis, limos, and shuttle buses will clutter the streets. The woes continue with a population boom and you officially have serious traffic congestion problems. |
The only reason that I had a car was because we were staying at the South Point hotel (pictured) which was 7 miles from "The Strip". The South Point is technically located on Las Vegas Blvd (known as the Strip) but it was far enough away from everything to necessitate renting a car for what I wanted to do. I work for a travel company that mostly does packages to Las Vegas, so I wanted to get out and visit hotels and properties that I've never been to. |
