The most eye-opening thing I discovered in Vegas was how many people still smoke.

I find it funny that I can go to Vegas and buy and smoke as much weed as I want but if the border guard at McCarran customs asks I have never and will never smoke the devil's lettuce no sir that is a dangerous route that leads to death by fentanyl overdose and I am a good proper young god-fearing man sir

My wife and I aren’t big gamblers*, but we have gone there before just to see some shows, eat a lot (although the days of being able to get a lot of decent food for cheap there are over), and walk around at night looking at stuff like the fountains in front of the Bellagio. We saw a Cirque de Soleil show once there that was pretty great, and we’ve seen singers/bands in residency there. * having said that, we do tend to drop money into the Wheel of Fortune machines just because they are fun. SPIN THAT WHEEL!

Pine Cone Jones posted:Why does anyone go to Vegas You can catch a cheap (lovely) direct flight from any reasonable sized airport, and rooms in the older hotels are cheap as poo poo. Pre COVID I would go once a year with a few buddies. We would cram into a room and spend two days sitting around a pool drinking beer. There are also a ton of good restaurants all over town.

I wish I could smoke, I'm tired of liquor at this point, it's not fun anymore. If it ever becomes legal for federal employees, I'm done drinking forever.

Now that it’s legal I wish everyone just get vapes and edibles because the smell of all the joints is ferocious. It reminds me of when I was a little kid and the grumpy old guy a few doors down spent his retirement by sitting on the porch all day in a wifebeater smoking box after box of Dutch Masters. Just absolutely foul.

Reno is so much better, I miss it from time to time. When the rugby team traveled to CA for away games the Tongans would always get in trouble for smoking inside so we generally left as soon as possible. They also usually had several 30 packs of Bud Light in the van with them so would have to stop every 30 min to piss on the way home. God I miss Reno.

I've only been to Vegas twice but my last time was for a football game. My friends that are super into birding found a bird sanctuary just outside the city that was surprisingly nice and peaceful to go spend an afternoon at. The first time I went with my wife, she and I did a bunch of hiking at Calico Tanks and Red Rocks during the day, and then went out drinking and eating at night. It was great. Vegas sucks poo poo if you stick to the strip only, but if you get outside the city, it's not a terrible place to visit. Also if you stay there for more than a couple of days, you're doing it wrong.

I present the most Nevada thing there is, which is technically a California thing: The only thing on the California side of the state line in Primm (which is itself a pit stop for degenerate gamblers) is a store that sells lottery tickets, because Nevada does not have a state lottery and gamblers need their fix.

Thanks guys we hate it here too. That's why we moved here. To take out our hate on the idiots who would want to visit.

I used to visit Vegas semi-frequently back when I worked at Grand Canyon (mostly because it and Phoenix were the two closest major airports), and it is... okay. I don't gamble much or drink at all so there wasn't much for me on that front, but there are some neat things around like Omega Mart. I will say though that once you get out of the city, there are a lot of cool parks - Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire are short drives and really neat, and of course Death Valley is incredible. Just don't visit if it's even close to the summertime

Death Valley got its foreboding name in the winter. Don’t visit then, either. Sometimes it floods, too.

Death Valley is rad as hell, and winter is the best time to go since it's not as hot. I went in February and it was great.

I was on a Delta flight out of Atlanta earlier this month and the dude in the row behind me smelled of a combination of janky weed and foot odor. Dude was so baked that the flight attendant had to get his attention for the exit row spiel. Between that, seemingly not being able to go to the beach anymore without getting blasted by what smells like a cloud of skunk rear end, the racket that is the Ohio medical Marijuana system, and all the studies coming out with people shocked that "Whoa, moms who may cause their kids health issues??!!!?!1", I'm getting tired of the whole thing.
