Which when you look at the $2500 face of the ticket is lmao very much not free. Oh wow that's not bad compared to the standard usury of strip alcohol pricing. I grabbed a beer at brewdog for about that much last week. Our strategy this trip was the same as any other. Have a bottle of whisky in the room and get a base layer down so you don't need to drink while you're out. From there just have light beer. I didn't mind the stands and fences and I at least found it interesting as a change from normal Vegas. I find the whole experience to be like a polished scam, I enjoy it and don't take anything there very serious as fancy or nice, just flashy. I also understand being disappointed if you want to see things in the strip that were there normally.

when (the most popular) race cars moved away from manual transmissions they got boring like—no joke—if they ever did a Formula E style “touring car E” or similar and gave cars the Toyota fake manual that is apparently good enough, despite being implemented super cheaply, I would watch the poo poo out of it over FE/F1/etc

My main draw to Vegas is cheap and plentiful hotels and airfare, with awesome stuff outside the city like Red Rock and Valley of Fire and Hoover Dam and other places in the desert. It’s fantastic as a launching point for family/friend trips. There’s deals to get there from virtually every area in North America. I lived in Vegas for months and never spent a dime on gambling. If you want to see a show or something you can find deals on that, too. You never need to go near the strip if you don’t want to.

I go to vegas a bunch for work and off strip it’s okay, if too loving hot in the summer. The strip is not really a place to be outside of making that the focal point of the trip. The best part about vegas frequently for me is I can actually get good tacos that I have been unable to moving from CA to WA.

kastein posted:I gotta admit I do not understand the draw of Vegas at all. Vegas itself is a lovely themepark that tries to be disney after dark or someshit but it's more like a seedy shithole for divorced dads. The desert and abandoned mines around it were cool till all the trash from socal and texas moved to vegas and utterly destroyed the local nature. Last time I camped near lake mead is probably the last time I'll visit the area till the lake goes deadpool. Rapid expansion, no care for water conservation, and people trashing the beauty of the desert make it not worth going. There's lots of wheeling, but the trails have been really beat up or hogged out to the point I can get the 7 ton overlander in and out where 12 years ago, dirtbikes and dedicated crawlers were required. If you want company, go over the hump to pahrump.

The strip is such a vile place. Dripping with sleaze, extremely obnoxious lights and sounds all competing for your attention, the stank of cigarette smoke, and far too many people. Many of those people have deliberately chosen to travel to vegas with the express purpose of making bad decisions which is not a crowd I want to be anywhere near. All made worse by the fact that it's happing in a place that is not fit for human habitation. I still go there for DEF CON most years but the being in vegas part of the con really reduces my enjoyment of it.

It was interesting the first few times but lost the charm pretty quickly. As someone else said there's some great food but I find the whole place tiresome. What it offers is simply not how I have fun.
