Have you ever been in Las Vegas?

I've been to Vegas only once in my life. It was back in '89 when I was 14 years old, so obviously I wasn't there to go gambling! LOL I went to my dad's wedding. He married my stepmom at one of those cute little chapels that are there in Vegas. The wedding was pretty small. If I remember right for the groom's side there was only my dad, my sister, and myself. For the bride's side there was my stepmom, her two sons, and a few other people on her side of the family. But when it came to the reception, that was a different story! Though it wasn't held in Vegas so I'll save that for another time.

I went to Las Vegas a very long time ago. It was back in 1990. My friend and I were students and we decided to drive to Las Vegas from California. It was along drive. When we got to Reno, it was already dark and from afar, with all the lights, we though that we had reached Las Vegas but we could not believe it as based on the map that we had, we should be driving further. At that time we had no idea that Reno was like a smaller version of Las Vegas. By the time we entered Reno, then only we realized that we were not there yet. We took a short break and then continued our drive to Las Vegas. By the time we got there it was already 11pm. However, with all those lights all over the place, Las Vegas was as bright as a sunny day but without the heat of the sun. We were impressed with the lightings and the designs and decoration of the hotels that were done solely for the purpose of getting the attentions of potential customers. We went to a few of the casinos just for the experience of being in there and not for gambling as we were students and the money that we had was just enough for some food, gas and motels. Nevertheless, it was one of my greatest experiences in life and I would cherish that forever. Cheers!

I have never been to Las Vegas but I have heard lots of great things about it! To be honest I have never been further than Europe! An old friend of mine once won a competition to go to Las Vegas with her beau and they actually got married over there! Now that's a marriage and honeymoon and dream holiday all in one!! I am quite a gambler so I would enjoy the casinos for sure, I also heard they have fruit machines absolutely everywhere including the toilets! I think it is very expensive, maybe one day I will visit.

I used to live in LV - it was great then, but sadly it has changed in the last 10 years nad is just not what it used to be. It used to be hotels and casinos' now it is spas and resorts. They took away the sound of the slot machines and gone money-less and went to paper receipts that hte machine gives you and you take them to cash in. NO more nickels falling into the aluminum buckets and that enthralling coin sound. The lights on the marques athat use to light up the strip are gone - now there's a volcano, a pirate ship and asome water shows -but those big huge all encompassing lighted casino fronts are gone. They emploded the StarDust and Frontier this last year and those were the last of the originals. My husband is currently there working on a huge mega resort and CITY - he is doing the plumbing and piping on the swimming pools and spas - they have indoor swimming pools on every couple of floors of hte high rise - no more do the pools stay on the ground. One even has real palm trees planted and real sand for that ocean beach effect. I have no desire to go back and have my wonderful memoories of that great city killed off by this new construction. And the strip is FULL of new construction so it takes away from the ambiance too! Lot of construction going on there, and now with the economy thing - much of the building is closed and hte unfinished is just sitting there - not to pleasant to see! The 99¢ eats are gone - use to be you could get a 99¢ hot dog or hamburger, 99¢ shrimp cocktail, 99¢ strawberry short cake, 99¢ margarita and so many more things -$2.99 steak meal - gone they are. Now the buffets are the draw card - Youll spend $15 -$10 for a meal but you get so much food, so many different kinds of food, food you never knew existed - they are really great. I recommend the "World Buffett" at the Rio. To cool for words!

I have been thru Las Vegas but I didn't go in any hotels or casinos. Actually my husband and I use to drive over the road and we had to pick up a load in Las Vegas. And it is truly amazing seeing all the lights. I really wanted to stop a day and really enjoy it and maybe even see some shows. My friend and I have desided once we lose the weight to are goal weight we are going to Las Vegas for are reward. I quess it's just something to keep us focused.

Yes several times when I was little, but of curse I was to young to really enjoy it fully, but I remember it was a beautiful place me and my family went there a lot and it was usually night time when we arrived there and there was so many lights and interesting things to see, I would love to go back and visit it again now that I'm an adult.

Casinos do not appeal to me. I do not gamble or play games of chance. I would love the swimming pools, fountains and luxurious hotels, though. I would be more likely to enjoy the landscape around Las Vegas than the inside of the casinos.

i have been in Las Vegas only once many yeas ago. I am sure is much more now that used to be. It is a lots of wealth and games for sure. It is shinny luxury and maybe not healthy luxury. It is an illusion of better life. I rather spend time in nature.

A long time ago I was visiting the US, a group of us went to Las Vegas. I was young then and it was all overwhelming and no doubt has become more so in the intervening years. We have very few casinos here in Australia although there are many cubs (as well as some hotels) with poker machines. These places are not as luxurious as the casinos of course and not nearly as many flashing lights plus the government has legislated about lighting etc. The thing is that with these gambling venues, people tend to get "sucked in" and always think they are going to win,. Sadly the real winners are always the Club or hotel owner and certainly the Government because they get an enormous amount of taxes from these places. Yes it would be nice to be a winner and we can always dream of the things that we don't have but I am sure that on the wholeour life is good as we are now. I don't want to change my family, where we live, our friends and freedom for a vast amount of money ... a little extra maybe but that is in. In the meantime we enjoy what we have in this life. Good luck and hopefully one day you will be able to experience the luxurious life, even it is just for a brief visit for a short amount of time.

FOrgot to mention - when we lived there, the Palace Station was a casino that had a promo to "cash your pay check here!" The thing was they'd give you $5 in quarter tokens if you cashed your pay check there. The point being, that nowyou have all that money in your hands and hopefully alot of it would be dropped on the tables and slot mahines as you walked out! Well, every pay day I'd go cash my check, get my $5 and play till the $5 was gone, then I'd go on home! I won many times - just a few bucks, but it was profit as none of my dollars went to win it - no loss! I also go on mailing lists for coupons that they promote to locals - BOGO or even free period. So I seldom cooked - we'd go eat nearly for free!

I have only been to Vegas once. We live about 4 hours away from there. And for my 21st birthday this past summer my mom bought us a room at Harris for my gift. It was alot of fun we just for the weekend and didnt even get to do everything but it was definatly a fun experience!!

I have never been to Las Vegas but have had a few opportuntiies to go. My parents just today were offering to send me for my birthday, but I can't think of any one person I'd want to go with me that is over 21. I would love to go, but I want to go when it is really exciting to me and I can fully enjoy it.

Las Vegas is a very luxurious city but I really don't thing about it. I think there are beautiful places more important than Las Vegas, like the Amazonian Forest (it's a very beautiful place, but no one care about it). This luxurious life is desired by a lot of people, but it's not the most important thing to desire. Think about it.

Hi i havent been to las vegas.but i love to go to usa..its my dream may be next year my dream comes true..it was so exciting.i dreamt to go to Las vegas becoz of tatoos and peircing..i like that luxurious life ...

I have never been there before but I would love to go some time. I would have to save up some money to sepnd there though. that could take quite a while with the economy the way it is.

I do not gamble. Neither will I wish to get involved in any work related to gambling. But I had the chance of visiting Las Vegas many years ago while on a holiday to the US. It's a wonder how a brightly lit thriving gambling city can flourish in the midst of the dry Mojave Desert. I remember it was very hot in the day there. There were hotels, casinos and entertainment outlets everywhere, and it was an experience being inside some of these casinos. I watched a broadway show at Ceasar's Palace, and it was really entertaining and professionally done. I also remember Las Vegas as one place on earth where one can get married easily on one day, and have that marriage annulled or a divorce the next day. Ask Britney Spears...she can certainly testify to that. Las Vegas is such an entertaining place to be that I will wish to go back there for a holiday if I have the chance.

What is your part time job about?? That seems interesting ^_^ I have not been to las vegas b4, and i have seen from the movies, it's very nice and huge city.. Plus, according to my frenz whom ahve been there, it's a gambler's heaven.. Everywhere in the streets, jackpot machines can be found at every corner, and it's like a city that does not goes to sleep.. lol =D If given the chance, i will like to visit las vegas too ^_^

Hi babyfuzz, no, I am not attracted to casinos stc. Saw a few in my younger days but really do not long to see Las Vegas. I would love to see the Rocky Muuntains and so many other places in the USA. I've mostly gone to Boston and down to Maine, New York and Miami, plus North Carolina where my daughter is living. It's a big world out there and I know that I won't see it all but I am glad for waht I have seen. Have a wonderful day

Been to Las Vegas twice. The first time was with my whole family, the second time was with my husband (wedding anniv.) to watch Bette Midler's show. Las Vegas is a fun place to be but you have to save up a lot of money for the trip. It's worth it though.

I have never visited Las Vegas, but would certainly like to visit it once in my lifetime. In India here, we have got less casinos & the one which are there are not as fabulous as the casinos in Las Vegas.
