It seems like a good idea at first -- why shouldn't we go and experience the charm of Old Vegas, under the twinkling canopy of screens that play music videos with an hourly show?
Well, let me tell you why you shouldn't.
* The show that is touted as a magical musical experience? Not so impressive. We watched it for about a minute before the novelty wore off.
* Total tourist trap. Every store is just selling the same cheap, tacky items.
* We went in the evening, bad idea. Do the cracked out meth heads come out at night, or are they always there?
* Kind of goes with the last bullet point, but it feels super sketchy. Hold on to your purses, ladies!
* Hard to find parking (at least for us)
What I did enjoy here:
* Visual impact of the screens is pretty
* There was a graffiti artist making and selling beautiful landscapes made entirely by spraypaint. It was mesmerizing to watch; he was so talented!
We probably walked around for half an hour before we left, and it wasn't worth the hassle in my opinion. Perhaps it's more lively in the morning, but there were more hobos and aforementioned meth heads than people there to see the sights. Checked it off my bucket list, but I won't be coming back.
