Just gross.
Go to experience some epic people watching, maybe stick around for the light show, and then go immediately back to the strip. Talk about a hot mess. Second-rate go-go dancers, dirty smokey casinos, and cracked out bums are abundant. People trying to sell you crap at every turn. No decent places to eat or shop. The only plus might be if you are a gambler, you might find a better deal than on the strip.
I can't believe people brought their kids here, seriously. I checked seeing old Vegas off of my list, and now I don't ever have to go back...THANK GOD.
