For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Back in my day, we just called it going to the next town over and doing whatever you want.

Imagine being so cowardly that you need a big, corporate run adult Disney World to get your rocks off.

I'm not American so what I know about Las Vegas is it's the place everyone goes to just to do horrible poo poo like cheat on your partner, or do drugs and rob someone, or illegal sex poo poo or whatever, plus gambling addicts. Also that apparently everyone in America who isn't a teetotaling fundie loves and is obsessed with it (they go to Salt Lake City instead).

Pieced this together from how you yourselves always present it so if I'm wrong in any way it's because you're all terrible communicators.

Like I said, if you're at all an interesting person who has half an imagination, you could just do this stuff wherever you live. Needing the excuse of being in Las Vegas to do it just shows how much of a pussy you are.

You know what?

Maybe sometimes I want to just take the Mrs. somewhere I can have a decent meal, see a Criss Angel show then gently caress my wife for a few minutes in a mid range hotel room while she rides that Mindfreak high. does that sound like something a coward would do?

Yeah, didn't think so bud.

Last time I passed through Vegas I went mountain biking in the foothills. Then I bought a day pass at a gym and did a few pullups and took a shower. Then I got some gyros and drove to Primm and slept in my car in a dirt lot behind an abandoned outlet mall.

The roller coasters in Vegas suck but the arcades are good. The buffets don't really interest me because I have a small appetite and can't get my money's worth.

Gambling is, of course, a pointless exercise for idiots, but for some reason I kind of like the casino atmosphere.

Las Vegas is the only place where I got to snort coke off a stripper's tits. Bachelor parties are fun. I give LV a thumbs-up.

P.S. Agreed, the arcades in Vegas are awesome.

The best part of gambling is when you've been losing a bunch but then you bet a way bigger amount cause you gotta win back all you lost and then you're back in business baby WOOOOOHOOOO

I worked in the actual city of las vegas (NOT the strip) for 3 weeks once. It was...OK...

  • Mostly everything was in strip malls. There was some good food but nothing I couldn't get somewhere else.

  • It was really suburban with huge broad streets. I had to loving drive everywhere. Typical for most big cities in the southwest though.

  • A lot of old people driving corvettes.

  • Everything gambling-related was tacky as gently caress.

  • Container park had a giant fire breathing praying mantis statue

Overall it was better than Omaha, which isn't a high bar to clear.

It went away for a while during the pandemic but the amount of foreign tourism to vegas is astounding to me. Like, you're gonna fly 10 plus hours from Asia or Europe to gamble in a lovely casino? Theres not places where you're from you can do that in?

I also know Boston as the place with donuts and that accent, plus a lot of cops. New York City is murders but also bagels. Seattle is heroin and psychiatrists. Nashville is country music and hotdogs. Austin is F-150s and flags.

I dunno how far or close I am to what they're actually like, but this is what we got.
