Mindless Distractions: Las Vegas
According to a popular saying that originated in the movies, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” However, the fact that Sin City can be an extremely dissatisfying destination ought not to be kept a secret. It should come as no surprise that a city that is so preoccupied with winning and losing money based on the roll of the dice has such a soulless atmosphere.
While it’s true that many of the grand hotels and casinos on the strip are eye-catching, and that they offer a wide variety of mindless diversions, the touristy area of Las Vegas isn’t actually all that interesting in and of itself. Especially if you’re not really into things like poker, slot machines, or people who pretend to be Elvis Presley.
