Fremont Street is horrible, and Circus Circus is ripe for implosion.
The Strip is too much for me most of the time, but Southern Californians love it. The more rooms they build, the more people drive I-15 and fill them up. Its really quite an amazing place.
IMO, its a great city. I know true working class people with very little education making six figures as doorman and valets. Where else in the world do you see that?
After getting out of the army I went to work in a Datsun parts dept. After about two years I was offered the job as parts manager of LasVegas datsun. I turned it down.
Too many vices in vegas and I am a weak person.
Just too much.
