Sin City

There I was, lil ole me in big ole Las Vegas. In between shots and 3 card poker and naps in the middle of the day (the best part), the wheels in this maniac mind wouldn't stop turning. Just like I do to everything/everyone else, I began to analyze what was going on around me. I began to compile a list.... 

Reasons why Vegas is awesome:

Because it's VEGAS! There is so much around that one word. So many have had so many experiences there, it is one of those places that is awesome just because it is. Everyone knows that. Duh

Because of the people. You can be sitting around a table with Jimmy from Alabama, Hector from El Salvador, Chin from China, and that one guy who sat behind you in 10th grade science class...all at one time. Where else does this happen on such a grand scale?

Because time does not exist there. 

Because it's the city of sin, yo! You can do all kinds of crazy shit and no one bats an eye your way. It's a place lacking the usual judgement we face in our daily lives. I find that lack of judgement pretty awesome. 

Because there are all kinds of ways to enjoy Vegas. You can come with a group of buddies, make it a couples getaway, you can bring the kids (but seriously why would you ever do that?), you can come with your whole family. You can gamble, or swim, or eat at every buffet, or dance your brains out at a club all night. Vegas can be whatever you want it to be. 

Because you can drink whenever and wherever you want. Not to mention the (FREE!) Alcohol while you are gambling. Yeah, yeah I know their master plan. But if you are a cautious gambler like me, free drinks work out jusssst fine. 

Because Vegas is synonymous with fun! You kinda can't NOT have fun there. Unless you are the lamest lame-o on the planet. 

Because it's VEGAS! Duh. 



Reasons why Vegas sucks:

Because of the cigarette smoke. Seriously. This is a non-smokers worst nightmare. Smoke is everywhere. It's hard to get used to being in an elevator with someone puffing away on those nasty ass shits. Yuck. 

Because you can go broke in the time it takes to say "FUCKKKK!!" No bueno, No bueno at all. 

Because some people act like a damn fool in Vegas. There they are living the "what happens in Vegas" dream, not realizing that other people gotta deal with their obnoxious ass. 

Because it's the city of sin. I'm down with some good ole fashioned sinning every now and again. But while you are in Vegas you are submerged in it. It feels absolutely filthy after a very short time. 

Because going to the pool can make a gal feel like a whale. A killer whale. But still....

Because you feel guilty for being tired. Like, shouldn't I be partying with strippers doing coke in a room somewhere? What's wrong with me?

Because despite all this shit, I can't wait to go back. :/
