| - I have a hate/intrigued view of Las Vegas, kind of like that boyfriend or girlfriend that was a prick but you continue to learn some unfathomable lesson from. The Las Vegas airport embodies the notion that we are inherently attracted to ugly, vapid, disgusting things.
For all the revenue that comes through this town you'd expect something updated or even renovated. It's dingy, dirty, small, has out of date, worn out decor, and even the gift shop gifts suck. How is "See's" candies staying in business? I think they have their flagship store here. (???) There is a modern/industrial decor attempt but it echoes the profound emptiness of this town, which I find fascinating. Spend the last of your travel money in the slots. Watch people not able to board their sunday flights home as they are too drunk. Uncomfortable, but a train wreck or nightmare you can't forget.
Wait, maybe that's five stars.
