Personal Narrative: Las Vegas

Regardless of what people say about Las Vegas, there are plenty of family activities to keep everyone busy during their stay in the city. Las Vegas is a city of lights and entertainment providing fun and excitement for people of all ages. Below are three fun and affordable activities and attractions that the whole family can enjoy.

As I stepped out to the Las Vegas Strip for the first time, the first thing I came across was the massive water show at the Bellagio. With the calm music playing in the background finely tuned with every drop of water I fell in love. Along with the gigantic crowd of people that surrounded me I could feel the warmth of every light bulb that lit up the city that never sleeps. Comparing Las Vegas to my hometown Madrid, I find many differences that only I may be able to depict. Some of the differences include the food, the culture and the demographic of the people in the community. Out of the many differences I chose to compare three things that I found were the most interesting. Madrid and Las Vegas are very different in term of climate, economy,

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.

One would never guess that only minutes away from the exciting strip of Las Vegas is the serene community of Henderson. The quiet community is an oasis amid the Mojave Desert. One of Nevada's most popular residential communities, Henderson offers an abundance of attraction, cultural events, great shopping, delicious dining, bountiful trails and open space, and many fantastic recreational facilities. The city is nestled amid the trifecta of Nevada's most renowned man-made attractions, the Las Vegas sign, the Hoover Dam, and the beautiful Lake Mead.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to live in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, a gambling mecca for millions every year? What could it possibly be like for a person to live in a city known as "Sin City," where the only thing hotter than the bright lights is the sun. According to lasvegasnevada.gov over 600,000 people live in Las Vegas now, which is triple what it was just twenty years ago. It is a city built as a railroad town that has turned into one of the most well known cities in the world. Las Vegas is not just a tourist destination, but a great place to live. With countless job opportunities, strong economy, beautiful weather and state of the art education, Las Vegas is

Have you ever had an enriching moment that opened your mind to the possibilities in the world? Well I have, when my family and I went to Las Vegas, Nevada. Yes, Vegas is a little odd to have a life-changing experience, but we didn’t follow the normal Vegas path. This involvement taught me to not to act anxious rather to take risks in life, and if I work hard for what I want things will work out.

I lived in an odd place for a time, all through a single summer I languished in the confines of its chipped sidewalks and heat-warped streets. The air was hot, it felt as if one was within the red-lit depths of an oven set to broil, the June sun cooking all that rested below its unforgiving harangue. The sky was vibrantly blue, like a cerulean drape had been pulled over the surface of the earth. Flashing neon lights and vibrant pink flamingos incessantly reminded me that I was in the boundaries of Fabulous Las Vegas, although I did not particularly want to be. There were aggressive and caustic smells that filled the air: Boiling oils from deep frying, spilled alcoholic beverages, and curious stale cigarette aromas, all of which bothered me

It is a town filled with sparkle, glitz, glamour, talent, and choices. There is a show to suit your every mood. If you want a concert, impressionist, or comedian, you can find some great headliners, depending on the time of year, playing at many of the hotel casinos.

Sitting in a chair at the Vegas Airport looking out the window at the people just walking around on their phones. Just looking outside on the street where it is 43°C, there is a man preforming live. Las Vegas is a different experience for each individual. People go to casinos, parties and clubs or they go for the shows and art. Some people just go for the scenery.

It was april vacation of 2016 and my parents had told me we were going to Arizona and Las Vegas. I was extremely excited, not knowing what the city of Vegas was like or how beautiful Arizona was. We left the day april vacation started and flew into Arizona, and then would spend the next three days visiting the attractions around Phoenix and Sedona. Seeing the Grand Canyon was amazing, even though it started to snow while we were up there and we were all freezing, it was a great experience. On the last day of our time in Arizona, we packed up and drove 5 hours to Las Vegas. It was the prettiest city I had ever seen, and I constantly miss the view. We went shopping, walked the strip, went out to eat and saw all

Las Vegas is unique among U.S. cities. Las Vegas is the most populous city in the state of Nevada.

I love taking random impromptu trips to Vegas!! I'm usually not the party type however when I touch down on the tarmac in Vegas i believe the excitement bug automatically takes over me. I immediately turn into the energizer bunny. I'm not quite sure what triggers this but its hard to narrow down since the lights, buildings, people and surroundings are all quite appealing. In a way it can almost be overwhelming at times. From shows to sightseeing to trying my luck at gambling there's always so much to see and do in such a short period of time. Perhaps trying to cram in all of it in just a few days is part of the attraction. Vegas is the only city where i can immediately become interested just from saying the name. I don't ever have to wonder

“Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night” states New York Times best selling novelist, Chuck Palahniuk. (1) He has a point. Las Vegas is, in a way, an American Mecca -- a national tourist hotspot filled with resorts, gambling, shopping, dining, drinking, sporting, nightlife and most other things entertainment. Las Vegas is the fastest growing city and fastest growing job market in the United States. (source?) The city, a sort of massive adult carnival, is made up of elements largely alien to its native desert setting. For one, Vegas welcomes almost 40 million visitors per year, a number nearly seventy times the population of the city; but also its drinking water and food are largely imported
