Las Vegas-Personal Narrative

Leaving Las Vegas, directed by Mike Figgis and based on the autobiographical novel by John O’Brien, is an emotional story about an alcoholic who rejects life and wants to drink himself to death in Las Vegas, and an unselfish prostitute who loves him the way he is. Ben, played by Nicholas Cage, was a former movie producer in Los Angeles and has obviously crumbled in the glamour world of Hollywood which is shown in the opening scene. Here Ben is already an alcoholic when he disturbs former colleagues that are embarrassed of his appearance at the restaurant. Ben is unstable and a mess when one of the men give him money and tell him not to contact him again. Ben then gets fired and ultimately decides to drink himself to death in Las Vegas, a

I went to Orlando, Florida. First we got lunch at the airport then we got ready for our plane to leave. Then we got on the plane after half an hour of sitting and waiting. Finally after a long plane ride we were in Florida. After we got our bag we went across the street to get our rental car.

Casinos have been part of diverse cultures for many years, the positive impact that it has on communities surpasses the detrimental impact on the residents of those communities. Many cities have begun to appear due to the casino industry. People today still talk badly about casinos and see them as something harmful to a community. People who go to casinos are there for the excitement and chance to try and win big. In some cases, the outcome is not what they expected and that’s where people believe that casinos take advantage of the people who can’t walk away. Experts and researchers say that casinos bring revenue and positive impacts to the communities where they are located.

I grew up in a city named Colorado City, TX – the city is located in Central West Texas. I had a really good friend, that I became best friends with, named Daniel. We went riding our bikes everywhere around this little town, scraping our knees on concrete and crashing our bikes on practically everything (since there was practically nothing to do in this town – this was before the 3M Palace Theatre was reopened).

One sunny, hot afternoon at switchback mx in Orlando, Florida I was preparing get two rookie supercross riders here train. I was getting very nervous that adam cianciarulo, and ryan lojack would not be here on time to train. I stepped out of the van and smelled the 2-strokes, and heard the roaring bikes. Then finally Adam and Ryan finally showed up! Ricky Carmichael and Ryan Villopoto and I told them to go get ready, because we had a lot of work to do today. Ryan, and Adam went to work on the track battling it out, when I waved them in.

It was a warm December day when I found the footprints in the snow by my front door. Even though it was thirty degrees outside, the snow was still a few feet deep from the snowfall last Thursday. I had looked outside my door, making sure my car was there and not vandalized and instead saw the footprints across my front yard. I owned a home with a small yard and most of it comprised of a concrete driveway. The prints were visible, about the size of large dogs, but the details about the tracks caught my eyes. I had to bend over and get a closer view at their bizarre shape.

When I got to Salt Lake City. I had to find an old person. Why? There easy to steal from. You might think It's called being evil, but for me I call it survival.

On 3-12-2017 at 08:29 hours I was dispatched to US 166 and Oliver reference a suspicious vehicle occupied by a male and a female parked on the side of the road. Upon arrival I contacted the occupants of the vehicle who identified themselves by ther KS DL's. The male was Joshua W Shwab and the female was Ashley J Stewart. Ashley reported that her and Joshua have been dating for about 9 months and decided to go to one of the Oklahoma casinos last night. They left around midnight and were heading back to Wichita when they began arguing over going to another casino. Ashley wanted to go to a different one, but Joshua did not. When they got to US 166 and Oliver, Ashley told Joshua to pull over so she could use the bathroom. Once they pulled

Ever since I found out my softball team could make it to California for Nationals I knew this would be our goal for the summer. Now here is where the challenging part came in, we only had three chances to make it to California. We made it, we were lucky enough to make our goal in the third chance.

When people would talk about deja vu all i could say was lies. I didn't really think that was true and it was something that couldn't happen. Until it actually happened and i was in total shock. When i used to hear people talk about all I could say that was crazy that it was just your mind. I could exactly remember everything that has happened and until now i am in total shock about it.

I was so nervous to go into a convince store to buy a coke or a water or some food while tripping on acid. But I didn’t have any other choice after I ran out of food in my pockets and water in my bottles – so I eventually convinced myself that I wasn’t that high, and Adam and I stopped at a convince store to buy what we needed. I kept my sunglasses on and the kind old man behind the counter looked like he knew what was up, but I was so thrashed and my mind was swirling around like blender blades, so I wasn’t entirely sure. All was well though, as I handed the man behind the counter cash, got back my change, grabbed my granola bar and can of coke, and started to be on my way. Then, as I turned to exit the store,

Let’s just get this out of the way, right off the bat. Monday? Yeah. It SUCKED. There’s no way around it. Even if the rest of my day had gone swimmingly (spoiler alert: it didn’t) the news I woke up to about the shooting in Las Vegas would have been enough to spoil it. Add in Tom Petty’s death and, yeah, there’s no way that day could have been salvaged for me. I could go over my feelings and thoughts about the horrific events in Vegas. Or wax poetic about how much Tom Petty and his music mean to me. But we’ve all read those articles. All had our own thoughts on the matter. I’m not going to rehash something that’s been said a million different ways by people far more eloquent than me.

My hometown was pretty unique if you ask me. I grew up in the one and only Las Vegas Nevada. Although many people only see Vegas as a tourist attraction I was able to call it home. As a kid I could say living in such a big city was a little overwhelming, but it was definitely full of experiences and opportunities. Some of the things I liked to do while living here included going to shows , going to the my favorite arcade casino made for the younger crowds, watching street performers do magic tricks or sing your favorite songs it was never a dull moment. Las Vegas has a big Hispanic influence so you can typically expect to see many Hispanic restaurants on and off the strip. There was also a lot of fast food including one of my favorites In-N-Out

I enjoyed reading your post. I’ve never been to Reno, Nevada, but, have been to Las Vegas and like Reno there were obviously slot machines everywhere including the airport. I have to say, although I’m not from a small town the culture there was certainly different so I can definitely relate. The town I currently live in is quite rural in comparison to my home town and is a mix of northern transplants as well as those that only stay during the winter months. However, although not as small in population compared to yours, when I first moved here I felt completely lost. Oddly enough, unlike most small towns it wasn’t as friendly as I imagined, in fact my home town was friendlier even though it’s considered a city. Since I’ve moved here the population
