What's so great about Vegas?

I see everyoen going these vages trips and they're so excited. but tell em what is so great about vegas? if it's the gambling, why not go to AC or foxwoods? I'd like ot go to LV, but the only reason would be to see Penn & Teller. What else is there? Just curious!

I had no desire ever to go, and my girlfriends took me for my bachelorette and we just spent all day by the pool, and then partied all night long. Maybe it depends who you are with -- personally none of us are gamblers so it's not that. It's just the party atmosphere I guess. Although for party time, I prefer New Orleans.

It's pretty neat how Vegas is in the middle of the desert, yet you are surrounded by these extravegant buildings and intricate casinos, something going on everywhere you look --- it's neat just to see once in your life. I'd go back, but it isn't top of my list.

Well, for me...the hotels are simply an amazing sight!! I mean, they're really incredibly built, and impeccably designed. I happen to enjoy the gambling there because there's so much to do in-between losing your money, that it helps to pace it out a little bit.


There's also a lot to do, clubs, restaurants, shopping ...etc.

The weather is also usually very seasonable so you can get a lot of walking done or even lay by the pool.

I dunno, I'm a total Vegas advocate...i can keep rambling on and on!

i don't really like vegas all that much. but i think if you have the chance it's worth it to see it at least once. as someone else said just looking the hotels is really cool. they're so huge! i think they seem even bigger b/c unlike nyc skyscrapers there's nothing else tall around them. i spent very little time there gambling. there's tons of other things to do- shows, looking at other hotels, eat!, shop etc. plus there's cool side trips from there- hoover dam, grand canyon, red rock canyon etc. i'm glad i've gone, and it will probably always be our jumping off point for our grand canyon hiking trips, but if you're not a partier or a gambler it's probably not worth more than a weekend.

There's a lot to do in a contained space...there's shows, restaurants, shops, beautiful pool areas, spas, casino, etc.

Also, except for the Borgata, the AC casinos CANNOT compare to vegas casions...even for a non-gambler like myself. The LV casinos are spectacular and just nice to walk around.

Besides, I need to get on a place to consider it a vacation.

AC is a little ghetto in my opinion.
Vegas is so full of life and lots of action.

I went to Vegas years ago and I liked it because of the sights, but I'm not a gambler so I guess it wasn't for me. I also don't like to see shows, with show girls and all that stuff. I only had to be there for a wedding...

I have been to Vegas a few times and never spent 1 cent on gambling.
The hotels are magnificent to walk around, the shows are wonderful, great restaurants..
Its an awesome place to spend a few days if u ever get a chance.
I hate AC cause I dont gamble and I find theres not much else to do there

It's like an Adult Disney World!

and you can drink 24/7!

I'm not really abig drinker. I like to drink but I don't like to get trashed, and I don't like gambling! I don't think it's the place for me then!

I dont drink anymore and I hate gambling but it is sooo much fun there...
I dont know many ppl that dont LOVE vegas after they go

I went a few years ago with some friends...we went for like 4 days and that was more than enough for me. I am not into gambling...it was a cool expereince to see it but will I ever go back?? Probably not...unless my FI wants to go someday but I don't think he will.

I loved the weather though....hot with no humidity and I came away with a great tan

Friends of ours were renewing their wedding vows and went all out Elvis. The bride's mom made her a poodle skirt, and everyone was dressed like it was the 50's. It was a riot. Then afterwards we saw George Carlin. Had front row seats

Hubby and I saw Tournament of Kings which is like a mid evil renasance thing. I had such a blast.

We walked the strip and took tons of pictures, hung out by the pool, and just enjoyed being there. We watched the sun set over the strip which was cool.

I'll be going next August (so far away!) with some friends, and FH will probably join us after a few days. I'm curious to see it, but I'm not a big gambler/partier. Everyne thats been there says its like Disneyland- go once to see it, and thats it.

If you ask me, nothing. Not a fan. Been once, never need to go again.

Although I do agree with whoever said AC is a little ghetto. Except to say that I think it's a lot ghetto
