Outside of a few quarters in a slot machine or two, that was the extent of my gambling. Vegas at night. Over the past decade, Las Vegas has reinvented itself and is now run by corporations instead of mobsters. Grandiose hotels have been blasted away to make room for even more grandiose hotels. Las Vegas is a recess ground for adults.
Flamboyance is the norm.
Millions of watts of flashing lights glitter in an ever-changing array of colors. Thousands of gallons of water splash through man-made fountains, cheating the dryness of the Nevada desert. And everywhere you look, at every hour of the day and every day of the week, a sea of people flows through the streets of Las Vegas, with the hopes of hitting the next jackpot or at least finding a good buffet. And there are plenty of good buffets in Las Vegas. It's hard not to eat well in Las Vegas.
