I've been once (98') I am not a gambler, but there is some great people watching...specially the Ladies! I have never seen so many HOT Ladies all dressed to the nines everywhere you look. Dayuuuuuum.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

We're 3 hrs from LV, try to avoid the place but enjoyed the NFR twice, a friend qualified, got us tickets & comped rooms. Great gun shows, desert sheep hunting close by.

Driven around it a couple times. Would like to try it for a weekend one time just for the hell of it. That drive on 93 from the top to bottom of NV is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful drive. Love it. Would retire there in the high desert if tags were OTC.

I've been a few times. With my wife and a few business conferences. I didn't like it at all. Not even a little bit.

I’ve been there twice. No need to ever see the rat hole again. Flying in to reach other destinations would be the only way that I’d go back.

Thank goodness for Las Vegas and whorehouses, it helps keep all the other losers that don’t watch soccer off the streets…

World of Concrete in Vegas many times on the corporate dime.
Had some good times at the Cheetah lounge and Rosewood Grill.

Stayed on the strip once, the week of 9/10/01. Wasn't the typical Vegas experience.

Never been there, no desire to.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

That was me about 6 years ago, when we went with friends. I had no real urge to go. None of us are gamblers, if we put $10 into a machine and it gets up to $50, we cash out. But there is a ton of entertainment to do in Vegas and the area. Drove to Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, checked out the Route 66 section. That terrain and geology is very foreign to me so was fascinating. Enjoyed some great food, saw some amazing shows. That was the real draw for us, some absolutely incredible entertainment. Two Cirque de Soleil shows (words cannot describe what human bodies can do), Penn & Teller, some very raunchy but hilarious burlesque shows, comedians, musicians, etc. Walking the strip is also entertaining. 'Spot the escort' is a fun game to play. Shoot machine guns, drive supercars. Old Vegas is something else altogether. And there are so many movies showing Vegas, it's fun to say "We were there!", or "That's in Caesar's!". If you're younger, there are club$$$ and pool partie$$ that will suit you.
It takes a village to raise an idiot.

Does anyone else read the op question, then some of the responses, and wonder how English survives as a form of communication? You took the words right out of my mouth.........................
