Going down to the lobby area of the Golden Nugget for a late night (11pm) snack. First in-house restuarant only does take out if you sit down and wait. Tables were at least ten minutes. Fuck that. We go to one of the main bars and wait to order something. Some drunk cunt spills an entire beer all over my wife. All apologies don’t pay dry cleaning. So we go back upstairs upset. I’m so fucking ready to leave this shit-fuck hole of a town in my dust. I want to puke all over this place. I’m really pissed.
Las Vegas!

Well, I’ve been in Vegas since Monday, and well, it’s definitely a town I could only take for a couple days. We stayed at the Golden Nugget in the Downtown (Old Vegas) area. We hit the strip last night, but there was so many damned people that it’s really not too much fun. The fountain show at the Bellagio was pretty damned impressive, as was the Eiffel Tower Experience at Paris. Otherwise? Eh. Too many people. I felt more like a cow at a cattle corral. Too many Mexicans trying to hand me pr0n leaflets. Not that I disapprove, but hey, enough is enough.
The Freemont Experience is actually pretty neat and felt safe. There were a ton of security and police every time I walked through the main drag. Once you get off the main strip you’re pretty much on your own; it gets seedy quick, but that could be interesting in its own right.
The missus hit a nice $400 jackpot the first night on a Monopoly $0.25 machine and I basically drained that back into the Vegas machine. Gotta keep the lights on somehow.
Fun? Vegas is interesting. It’s too much for me in some respects; too little in others. The pure sensory overload of people and lights is overwhelming in areas, but the fact that once you see one casino, you’ve seen them all definitely comes into play. Would I come again? Probably not. It’s been fun, but once is enough. The next trip is Europe!
