Las Vegas is many things. A community for drinking and whoring of the earlier Mennonite communities of the area, a centre of mob activity for a time, and now a fantasy land where anything you want is available.
For me it is everything I detest about America amplified. The gambling, the excess, the boozing, the uneducated masses, the absolutely massive people which easily outnumber us healthy types 3:1, the 5 gallon Pepsi glasses yielded by 7 year old screaming drones before 9 am in the buffet line. Why is it people need a specific place to do this type of stuff? Are their lives in Lincoln Nebraska so oppressed that they have to come here in HUGE numbers to release whatever has been built up?
With the noted resurgence of the conservative movement in the USA, isn't it funny that Las Vegas is by far the fastest growing city in North America and that the majority of the tourists that come here are from traditionally conservative 'red states' who are stereotypically opposed to this kind of debauchery anyway.
