While having a quiet moment in Vegas, I wondered - What draws people to Vegas?
Get Married!
We saw a few couples tie the knot and a couple others have their bridal showers. Vegas has a range of settings for discerning tastes from the highly romantic, classical backdrop to a showy, glitzy affair. But what does it matter when the bride and groom are exchanging their vows and tying the knot the way they want.
Gamble!
Vegas has tons of ways to play the games of chance. Each hotel has a busy casino area designed to invite and hold you hostage for a few hours. Slots, Black Jack, Roulette and on and on with music blaring overhead to add to the sensory overload.
Shows!
You can't come to Vegas and not take in a show or two. There are many shows that have hit the Broadway scene and now have its Vegas-dedicated troupe. Cirque du Soleil has a variety of shows at various hotels for all tastes and moods. Think I'm kidding - Mystere at Treasure Island; O at Bellagio; Zumanity at New York, New York; Ka at MGM Grand; The Beatles Love at the Mirage; Criss Angel Believe at Luxor; Viva Elvis at Aria Resort & Casino. Then you have the sexy night shows that Vegas is known for...wowza!
Nightclubs!
The Vegas night scene has a standard dress code--women wear itty bitty black dresses. Shoes with heels that can take an eye out. Make-up; boobage; and anything else you want seen put on display. Men--pretty much whatever you want. Music pumps at levels that can resusitate the heart or pop out an ear drum. Security and bouncers all seem to have eaten too many of their Wheaties. You do not want to mess with these broad shouldered, muscled black-suited men.
Shopping/Eating!
I say these are about equal on the list. There are respectable outlet malls with high-end stores to the usual suspects. The hotels also all have designer boutiques that may require a month's mortage or two to purchase one item. As for eating, many of the well known chefs have restaurants bearing their name. Their photos are prominently displayed like rockstars of their culinary world. Once you taste the fare, you can understand why all the fuss.
Vegas has diversity. I love it because there is something for everyone. I also think that it bears mention that Vegas employees are so nice, helpful, and accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful time.
