Wife and I took a quick jaunt to Las Vegas, NV last weekend for an Uncle's 80th birthday party. Las Vegas - great you say. Except I really dislike Las Vegas. I can't stand the constant audio and visual assault from all directions. The total number of people is a turn off. I don't play cards. I don't like to gamble. The food, unless you spend are real lot of money, is ok but not spectacular. Walking through the casino (always a requirement to get to your room) and passing all those at the slot machines reminds me of going through a chamber of zombies.
Fortuantely, I got to see my older brother and his family (the BCD girls). And my uncle who really appreciated everyone coming. And my sister - everyone was really glad to see how well she has come since the transplant. And tons of cousins who I haven't seen for a long time. So it was really a nice trip. I just wish it could have been somewhere else.

I have never been to Las Vegas. My husband used to go all the time before we were married. He has not been able to convince me to go yet. It doesn't seem appealing to me either. I like to hang onto whatever money I might have too.
Glad you at least got to enjoy some family time.
I picture Vegas as your personal hell. Meanwhile, I LOVE it!!! Everything you wrote about it is true though. When I was walking through the casino one day, the song playing was "It's the end of the world as we know it." by REM. Too ironic.
I am completely with you on the Vegas dis-appreciation. Last time I went was for a Star Trek convention, and it was fun, but it would have been ever better somewhere else.
Well, I'm glad you managed to have fun with everyone in spite of the locale.
I've never been to Las Vegas, but I had a buddy who was from that area. He said it's really not all it's cracked up to be. I dunno. I may go someday, and I may not. It's not high on my priority list, though. I have horrible luck, so I'm pretty sure gambling is not a good hobby for me.
