Vegas


Bright lights, a mixture of energetic sounds protruding above the ambient noise, amazing facades, which it all captures that moment of courage to gamble. That place, Las Vegas, is one of my favorite places I like to travel where the night never ends. Cheap reasonable t-bone stakes to unlimited soft drinks, it is like an enjoyment in itself. My family and me usually commute through this long 4-hour ride mainly on route 15. I do not really enjoy flying to this place since it is like a rough 45-minute ride. The vehicle we take usually set the mood for us. Enjoying the air conditioner to feeling the hot gushing air, stretching out the legs and enjoying my personal space usually changes my disposition at the very end of the trip.

We usually stay in the heart of Vegas, located on the strip. Circus Circus is one of our favorite places. I am not a hard-core gambler, but I like to exercise my chance of winning at times. I usually play craps, blackjack, roulette table for the most part and rarely play the machines, unless I’ve known for a fact that someone previously fatten up the machine for a major pay-out. I think the chances of winning would increases, but I have not mastered the payouts, which for some is an addiction.

On the other side, this amazing place I called enjoyment is like poison for others. I usually notice stickers and pamphlets displayed at casinos indicating some wording like gamble anonymous. Other negative attractions I noticed to keep players motivated is free alcohol and a waitress in a sparse outfit. Oh yeah, I also forgot about the second-hand smoke that is generated throughout the casinos. Nevertheless, even though
I can pick out the weakness of Vegas; there are also some strong parts of just getting away.
