Las Vegas
idk if some of u guys went to Vegas before but i just want some opinions of what u guys think of how vegas is changing like new hotels and tearing down old ones for instance and etc.

P.S. this is for my school homework
I love vegas...
They have to tear down and rebuild those hotels every so often. the general rule of thumb there being that nice shiny new buildings attract more than older dated ones. Like the Luxor for example, when it finally starts to look dated and the theme has become stale, it will be cheaper and more profitable in the long term to tear it down and build new. Afterall, it's a little hard to go for a a I dunno a Polar theme with a big pryamid. It's also a very transient city. you don't see many people there that live there their whole lives. LOL in Vegas if you live there 2 months, you're considered a local. If you live there for 2 years, you're a native.

Your homework is to ask a bunch of people on the internet a vague question about Las Vegas?
what if u would do your homework yourself? it shouldnt be so big job for only one person, or is it?
Don't flame at this guy. He just wanna know your opinion Unfortunalely I've never been to LV but I really wanna go (to spend all my money on gambling)

You might want to switch to pandas. I, for one, think they're big.
Do your own homework
Quote from Joe_R :my teacher wanted us(the class) to go and look for people of what their opinion is

u didnt read it all the way?
What the hell are you studying, peoples opinions and why they don't matter? A useful project might be to write up a report on the various ways Las Vegas has changed over the years, from a small town in the middle of the desert to the party capital of the world.

Well here is my opinion on Las Vegas...

Never been there, never want to go there, to me it represents everything that I don't like about America and it was built up by corrupt casino owners and the mafia. Its tacky, annoying and just copies everyone elses ideas, melts them down and pumps them out to the masses completely ruining the original in the process.

It is however a minor miracle that they can get enough water for the whole of Las Vegas in the middle of a desert We have floods across most of the country every year, but give up 3 days of hot weather and suddenly we are running out of water and have to stop washing our cars and watering our flowers. I guess they need to keep the strippers nice and wet for the punters or something.

This one is for your teacher, if I ever had sex with a pupil and gave them enough A grades so that they would want to marry me, I would go to Vegas.
LV is in Nevada, where you can marry your donkey, but not somebody of the same sex. When most of the rest of the world accepts gay marriage and Nevada is the drunken marriage capitol of the world, why cant gay people marry in Nevada?

Whats wrong with hookers, gambling, booze, blow and complete and total excess?

Honestly though, Ive been a few times and have a few friends out there and while I have had plenty of fun there, it is a giant tourist trap.

The grand canyon and a flask is more entertaining.

Not counting the Double Down, which is the greatest bar in the world. LESBIAN VAMPIRES THAT MAKE OUT. BRILLIANT!

EDIT: I hope my wife misses this thread.
I've heard that Las Vegas may be actually the centre of some kind of warp in the space-time continuum - a paradoxical, prime material plane-based planetary quantum singularity overlaying a pan-dimensional null-geodesic segment - for it seems that whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

There is one thing that people don't tend to notice about Vegas. During the day it looks and smells like shit. People don't really notice this because all of the pictures, movies, and postcards show Vegas during nighttime, when all of the lights are shining.

ya....its kind of a pain to see how ugly Vegas is during the day...seems more like a night city and more nocternal lifestyle in the strip but theres a slim advantage of being in the strip in the daytime: you feel really kind of safe around and less trouble sometimes occur and also people my age as of course 15 are usually out with their parents(especially girls man u know they are hott LOL ) but yet again when im there im usually out late night with the family and some others to so theres difference what so ever(went a little off topic i think, sorry)
Quote from U.S. Racer :Well I have lived in Las Vegas for the past 4 years. People get the wrong idea of it really.
When you tell someone that you live in Vegas, many respond "Oh don't you wish it was quiet? I would hate to live around all of those hotels and casinos!" But the truth is, that's really a fraction of Vegas. The Strip is about a 30 minute drive from my house, and the area that I live in is very quiet and it's at the base of a world renound rock climbing canyon- Red Rock.
It's not all gambling either. I am 30 minutes away from snowboarding, believe it or not, and less than an hour from Lake Mead. There is just about everything here in Vegas that you could want to do.
About the casinos and hotels- everything is ALWAYS upgrading. You will always see construction on The Strip because everyone wants to outdue everyone else.
As for the mobs and mafias, we have gangs just like every other place. There are no more Italian Mafias, however. They were driven out years ago.

We stayed with friends in Vegas. They had a store in the Stratosphere that sold some sort of animal fur (alpaca?)
Roller coasters.... We went to Prim and rode the one they got there.
We were actually considering moving to Henderson.
Do you know where a bar is called Fat Cats? We used to hang out there with our friends.

@ms. Becky: The REAL reason we don't have Gay Marriage in the "Evil Homophobic States of Mericans", Is because we're too damn stupid to know what to do about gay divorce. Our courts are bogged down as it is, family courts and civil courts would explode with a nasty gay divorce. Especially if there's like a third party seeking child custody. Then there's the states with those outdated alimony laws. Could you imagine just putting homosexuals into that?
It's nice to think it's all religious wackos that have suppressed feelings about their own sexual disorientation and blinding people with self righteous moral hypocrisy that's causing this goofy dilema, but really it's all about the benjamins. Oh wow, and lets not forget things like wic, Food Stamps and AFDC...social security benefits.
And then there's my favorite... insurance companies. At the very least, insurance companies will raise their rates across the board
if that happens. Why? I dunno why. they just will.

@ Joe R. Yeah, you picked a good topic outta the three.
Panda Bears... their funny looking bears
And Vacuum cleaners? well what more can you say? they suck.

Oh yeah, stay out of North Vegas
