From The Outside
From The Outside As an outsider you think of Vegas as some amazing place where you can win life changing amounts of money- have the time of your life with friends and family , even the movies make it seem all fun and fantasy. But nobody ever tells you about the bad that goes on there- like the constant fighting of couples who only came here to have fun with there friends and family but ended up divorcing or breaking up because they get drunk and gambled there life's savings away, or maybe they got too friendly with the street girls who are trying to seduce you into paying money for a picture. not to mention the place is filled with drunks, drug addicts and whores. from an outsiders perspective this place seems perfect. From the brightest lights to the craziest people, las Vegas was the most fun experience a person from a small town could experience. The largest screens I've ever seen the brightest lights I've ever seen in a town. The first day in Vegas I had to walk so much my feet were throbbing by the end of the day and we still only managed to explore about 15% of Vegas, and that's not much coming from an over weight lazy guy who likes playing video games and eating as a hobby. after a week in Vegas i truly believe the people who come here are here for a few different things. one being the experience, the whole experience is basically drinking, smoking, pretty girls, gambling and lots and lots of entertainment! obviously Vegas is known for its entertainment and intense gamboling addicts. the second night of Vegas i actually gambled , i had lots of liquid courage and i was throwing around dollars like a drunk divorcee at a strip club. throwing dollar after dollar obviously now a days the dollars come in a form of a voucher which you pay for at the little kiosk thing in the middle of every gamboling area there is. Im not a card game guy to be completely honest I've always been insecure of my lack of card game knowledge and the fact that I'm not exactly the best at math. So i played the slots all night and if you don't know if you're playing at the machine, no matter what you're spending at the machines you basically drink for free. i kept slamming back crown and cokes, and Coors light bottles until i could barely taste any of the alcohol anymore, finally towards the end of the night we were heading back to our rooms when i had to take a pit stop to the men's bathroom. As i was washing my hands a drunk older guy, had to be in his mid 50s walked up next to me to wash his hands and the i hear him stutter out some words, he said he just lost all the money in his bank account and with the saddest voice ever he says ''I messed up man'' i couldn't even think of anything to say to the poor guy. i felt bad but also couldn't help but think '' he did this to him self''. That's not to say this place doesn't have amazing people and amazing talent also, there is 2 sides to every story it just so happened that my first time here i saw a lot of bad but also had so much fun i wanted more!
