Oh Vegas.
You've changed.
Friend to friend.
It's not for the better.
The days when every hotel was competing to get you up to the front of the hotel with free shows are over. And yea.. if I sound like a broken record about it.. that's because I am extremely bitter about it.
Vegas used to give you the ability to visit on a budget, enjoy yourself.. waste only some of your money in their slot machines and still have a blast.
All the frustration aside... the Mirage still does it right.
The volcano is one of the most fun and attended attractions in Vegas still to this day. The girlfriend and I watched this twice in one night from different vantage points.. Highly recommended. It's a blast of a time. You feel the heat and you can't help but get into the drum beat.
