Leaving Las Vegas
I spent last week visiting Las Vegas for the first time. I stayed at the Paris hotel which was pretty nice. Since it was for work my expenses were all paid for which was a big bonus. All I had to pay for was gambling and alcoholic beverages. The good thing is when you are gambling the alcoholic beverages are free so that is another plus.
The first day I was really tired and I didn't like Las Vegas on my first impression because everything seemed very fake. As the week went on and I experienced what it was really about I grew to like it there. On Thursday I took a nap from 6pm-midnight, when I woke up I decided to get my camera out and walk the strip. I ended up walking all the way from Paris to Binion's in the old downtown casino district. I left 12:30AM and got to Binion's at about 3:30AM. I just looked it up on yahoo maps and its over 6 miles. It was an exciting journey passed many new and old casinos, drug dealers, prostitutes, miniature wedding chapels, and drunken pedestrians. I saw the world championship of poker going on inside Binion's when I got there for a few minutes which was cool. I took a taxi back because I was exhausted and already felt lucky to not have been stabbed.
