For being about Covid they said but between the airports and casino gaming areas not a lot of cleaning going around from what I noticed. I always leave my chairs out so they know someone was on that machine but never seen much wiping down unless there was a obvious mess made. The cleaning crew during the day was minimal at best.

I went last year....not my thing...wondered about those mountains every morning as our view was awesome. On the plane I kept thinking how many bobcats we flew over on the trip.

I've only been there for a rodeo or when they are bucking bulls. NFR? If so what would it cost for 3 or 4 days. It's a bucket list thing for me.

I was in Los Vegas in August of 1980, when I was 10 years old. I remember a worker making my mother take my sleeping, 1 year old brother out of the area with the slots, while while she was just walking through, coming back from the bathroom, because it was illegal for children to be there. It was a short walk through and a very long walk around. My dad was speaking at a conference there. We stayed in Caesars Palace one night and moved to another hotel the next night, because my mom didn't like it. It was loud, crowded and all the workers had their hands out for tips at every door, bathroom and elevator.
I have no interest in going back to Vegas. I would not mind exploring the Mojave Desert.
I don't like gambling. Weirdly, in the dozen or so times I have played poker, I have always won the jackpot for the night. I almost always win all card games I play. Something about my brain makes me very good at cards. My paternal grandmother almost always won playing card games with her friends too.

Law dog I go to vegas each year for the NFR. I can tell you Uber is the only way to go out there, way cheaper than cabs and limos.

Not ever being there before I expected to see less than I did when I got there for some reason, not sure why just the way I imagined it or the way it’s shown in the media. I guess I expected more properly but less buildings but it was buildings wall to wall in the area I was in not much real estate goes unused there.
Downtown was endless casino/industrial areas mixed with some businesses but nothing like most commercial areas in most cities, lacking convenient stores or mom and pop shops, strip malls anyplace I looked on the ride to the airport. I’m not sure where they could even buy gallon of milk or fill the gas tank from looking around.
That probably is in relation to property values as most business were service related that I observed. One big gun store had hummers parked all over and was a gun range. One large area was mostly men’s clubs a bunch of them for a few blocks.

Some places don’t charge the resort fees if you look around some, the next time I’ll hit the Park MGM if I ever go again and do the smoke free casino then.

Have to go in October, Son and fiance want to get married there, I'm only going cause it's my son, but it's going to cost me, besides the trips expense, I'm going to lose a week in my busiest time, probably north of $2,000. Thing is, it's always been a busy time and the whole family knows it, yet it's all about them, well her mostly....I'm going to try and make it look good, but I'm not happy. I could care less about vegas and anything around it, as far as I'm concerned it's just an obligation... Thanks for hearing me rant, lol.

I got paid to be there because I worked for some of the top stock contractors.
