Me. I have no desire to go to LV. Or, NY, or anywhere in the northeast or west coast.
My son went to LV last year for a friend's birthday party. He came back and said "never again".

Had to go several times for work in the mid nineties when I was a trade show coordinator. Never again. Why would a Christian go to a place called sin city? It offers nothing I am interested in.

No. I'll continue to live under a rock.

Went there on our honeymoon in '99. My bride had lived there for 3 years, working as a blackjack dealer at Whiskey Pete's, and was hoping I would fall in love with the place. I DIDN'T!!!
Not being a gambler, and not into whoring, there was nothing that attracted me to that city.

Why would a Christian go to a place called sin city? To receive sinners and eat with them?

I wasn’t there once, in the early 70’s. When Fremont street was “downtown”.

Never been and no desire to do so. Too many other places I’d rather go ^^^^^

I have not.
Maybe when taylor swift makes it to the Sphere.
I’d like to see a Blue Man Group Show.
And Cirque de Sol’.
Gambling, not so much…

Certainly!! It is a great place to travel to see a lot of natural sites. On our last trip, 8 days, we went to Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Valley of Fire, Red Rock Canyon, London Bridge, Drove to California and back in one day to see the Sequoias, hit Death Valley, visited several Ghost towns, went to Rt. 66, toured a working Gold Mine, went to Grand Canyon and walked on the Indian glass overlook over the canyon and more. Cheap hotel rates and rented a car after flying in. Been to many of these sites before but well worth visiting again!! Went to all these places and more, it was a great time. This reminds me of several things that were outside the norm, like spending the day with a hooker at a car dealership, it was truly random and fun. Or watching a movie being made and camping and partying with a bunch of floozies from the cast for 3 days. Or a snowy day at Grand Canyon sitting by the mule ride weigh scales when a hot blonde in a red thong gets off the train and comes in next to me, so I had to ask and she turned out to be very nice and a little cold. The memories have taken up more than a few brain cells. Almost made me forget about the mojave green and gila monster.

I passed through the airport terminal once a long time ago. What did I miss??

Yes, several times. Back in the day the Nascar races were a lot of fun.

Never been. No desire to go.
Probably too much noise and too many people there for me to enjoy myself.

Overnight there one time back in 1985 during a USMC transfer to Camp Pendleton. Stayed in a mom & pop motel on the edge of town.
Never been to the strip. I would only gamble with money I'm willing to throw in the woodstove, so that kind of narrows it down.

Geez, from most of these posts you'd think LV was just one big gambling strip, and these from folks who have never been there. There is a whole different LV outside the strip, and "real" people live there. I used to belong to the Desert Sportsman Gun Club west of LV and never had to drive through the city to get there. I was once a finalist for a really good job in LV. They really grilled me to make sure I wasn't going to get caught up in gambling, etc. Very strong LDS presence, influence there. Some 700 candidates, I ended up number two, lost out to affirmative action. Oh well.
