| - I sum up the previous two reviews with one word.
I do mean this in the most respectful way possible.
Ignoramuses.
How can you go to a city, let alone a state, built from the desert up on GAMBLING, and not EXPECT to see all of the things you detest so much?
Sorry.
Vegas has much of what I dislike also.
All that beach, no ocean. Sorry, none of the pools, including the wave pool at Mandalay, will ever match up.
Second hand smoke, the hardest water I've ever experienced, high crime rate, summer heat.
Vegas also has much of what I love.
Great food, around-the-clock living, Mt. Charleston snow, inexpensive real estate and cost of living, and from an unconfirmed source, about 100k expatriots from Hawaii now residing there.
What this means for me is a much closer location than Oahu if I ever need to get my aloha tanks filled.
Some of the people I hold closest to my heart reside in Las Vegas.
Thats why I'll always go back. Ok, shit, so I like playing blackjack, poker, and craps once in a while.
Ok, so I love eating food prepared by some of the best chefs on the planet.
Ok, so sometimes I love looking at scantily clad women without having to be in a strip club.
Ok, so during the winter I love leaving the strip in shorts and a t-shirt, traveling 45 minutes away, and boarding down Mt Charleston
Oh, and just in case you ever decide to go to Disneyland, look out. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy reside there. Just in case you can't stand them and didn't realize they'd be there.
aloha~!
