I went once for a friend’s wedding. I was on a tight budget, and it’s the wrong place to be when you’ve no money.
Can’t say as I enjoyed it really, couldn’t afford to do the cool stuff it seems to be famous for, like visiting the Grand Canyon, high stakes gambling or hookers. The whole place felt artificial, the impressive looking ‘marble’ constructions are chicken wire and fibreglass; a poignant reflection of the facade that is Vegas. Oh, and as a vegetarian I figured the one place I’d be able to eat without problem in the US would be a holiday destination; I almost starved to death.
Its one saving grace for me was the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton, which isn’t there any more. It was an impressive exhibition, very well put together. And even if the theming isn’t your thing, Quark’s Bar turned out to be the cheapest place we could find to get drinks of an evening.
