I love travel and get to see a good bit of the US, and a little bit of the rest of the world. This is what I find there.

Fantastic hotel
I'm staying at the Palazzo Hotel which is connected to the Venetian and it's great! All of the rooms have super fluffy beds, a sunken living room and office space, 3 plasma tvs (including in the bathroom) and a great bathroom that is huge. Excellent hotel - happy camper.
Vegas is so WEIRD
Why do people love Vegas? I don't get it. Perhaps if you are a professional gambler, but other than that, I dont see what appeals to people! People liken it to an amusement park for adults. Ummm OK. Maybe. But (a) I still dont get it and (b) folks bring their children here!!
Oddities seen so far:
EVERYTHING is like a cartoon. But not Pixar cartoon. More like old Disney style. Things that fit this category include the "Eiffel Tower", "Arc de Triomphe", and the Gondolas on the "canal" indoors. Also, the fake "sky" 12 feet above you.
Women do not know how to walk in the shoes they purchase. There is some FANCY shopping here (the one thing I love about this place) and women are clearly strutting their stuff with the high heels. I'm even for shoes that are hot but hurt your feet. BUT YOU MUST BE ABLE TO WALK without looking like you are disabled in some way. I mean, come on ladies. If you are able bodied and walking that way, you've lost your crackers.
More about women - they are not allergic to silicon and the surgeons here must not be very good at what they do.
"Card snapping" is a new sport apparently. Men and women (which seems even more odd but I suppose it shouldn't) are saying nothing but standing on the side of the wide sidewalks ("the strip") snapping these little business cards to get your attention and to give them out. They are of course for "hiring" women. Geesh.
Everything is huge here. On the grandest scale at all times. People should say everything in Vegas is big, not Texas.
