The Pros In Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the nation's favorite vacation destinations. Las Vegas, in Nevada’s Mojave Desert, is a resort town famed for its buzzing energy. It's a 24-hour city where gambling is a loved past-time and dreams of striking it rich can come true. Its focal point is the Strip, just over 4 miles long and lined with elaborate theme hotels such as the pyramid-shaped Luxor and the Venetian, complete with Grand Canal; luxury resorts including the Bellagio, set behind iconic dancing fountains; and innumerable casinos.

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,

The first thing I usually do when I get to Vegas is start people watching. You would be amazed with how different people are in this world.almost everywhere you look you see people dressed up in the most random outfits to mostly get attention from other people.The scariest part about people watching is the ones in the costumes. Considering, I absolutely hate when people dress up in costumes. The random people do the weirdest and craziest stuff and think nothing of it. I could honestly sit somewhere and watch the madness all night.

October 1, 2017 at Route 91 music festival what first seemed to be fireworks, was actual gunfire being shot at the crowd. News around the world stated that Stephan Paddock was the culprit of committing such massacre. Uncovered evidence has claimed that one man was capable of injuring 546 and killing 59 people solemnly within ten minutes. One can conceive with the lack of evidence and coincidence, that this was not the act of one man, but someone with a vendetta towards the American government. But why would someone decide to choose Paddock and what message are they trying to send? Someone with power would only be capable to make a move with little evidence, like this incident, and accomplish it goal.

On the evening of December 26, 1946, it seemed that Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel had done almost everything right for the debut of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. The casino was staffed with roulette, craps and blackjack dealers, restaurant and bar workers were ready to serve and the showroom was booked with famous entertainers, radio comedian Jimmy Durante and band leader Xavier Cugat.

Generally, nightclubs worldwide give ladies free entry than men. Most women get in the nightclubs for free or they pay less than what men have to pay. From my personal experience in Las Vegas nightclub at Omnia, Caesars Palace, I got into the nightclub for free because my friend is a promotor there. He got us onto the guestlist. The guestlist work for everyone, men or women. As long as you and your party are on the guestlist, it is guranteed a free entry. By Civil Rights Act 1964, it is illegal to discriminate based on gender.

Also, women can get into the nightclub just because they are women and it is a marketing

The Las Vegas Strip is full of surprising views. The Smith family certainly found that out on their family vacation last year. One strip photographer caught this picture of the parents looking appalled and holding back their young child John who looked shockingly cavalier. Why were the parents so scared and the child so calm? After interviewing the family we soon found out that the object of interest was a nude show girl on the Strip. The Vegas Strip was actually “stripping.” This explains the boy’s almost happy grimace.

They have recently started touring in their program called We Are Traumatized where they

I never could quite figure out Vegas' love of the window. I understood there was a lot of action going on that he was taking in: the birds flying by and the squirrels climbing trees, but it was like the window screen was his safety net, and everything outside of that was hot lava. If I even tried to carry him outside the door he would instantly tense up, claw into my shoulder, and make a Carl Lewis leap back inside. I made the horrible mistake of purchasing a cat walking apparatus in an attempt to broaden his horizons. For the whole five minutes I had Vegas on the leash, he easily could have been misconceived as the Tasmanian devil.
