Las Vegas Strip

(in United States > Nevada > Las Vegas)

Not worth it!

A review of this place: The country's capital city of depravity  — 1 year ago

The only good things I can say about this town are:

- It’s pretty cool (at first) to be able to walk around town with beer
- It’s amusing to watch the taxis try to run over pedestrians (taxis aren’t liable for hitting pedestrians on the strip if they cross against the light)
- The weather’s nice in March

Other than that, it’s insulting and depressing that so many people waste money and dignity in this town. Shouldn’t we be concerned that it’s the fastest growing city in the country? Seven thousand people a MONTH are moving to Vegas. Maybe the rest of the city is great…I dunno. I can only speak to what I saw on the strip and driving down from Red Rock Canyon.

Las Vegas

Then you missed a lot

I was born in Las Vegas, and lived here my whole life, and let me tell you—The Strip is like an alternate universe. Go past the Strip and there are people—honest,decent,people,who make this a great place to live. And we do live normally, just like anywhere else.(And, no, off the Strip, you can’t walk down the street and drink a beer. it’s illegal.)

If only people tried to understand—the Strip does NOT reflect Las Vegas as a whole.There’s a lot more to this town than that.
