My impression on Las Vegas

The first thing that i felt when we reached the Las Vegas is the heat. I do understand that it is a desert but aren't deserts supposed to be colder at night? cause the sand is supposed to cool down quickly(unless I got my physics wrong).Somehow I did survive the heat. But the lasting impression of Vegas is that of lights. The whole city is lighted at night, which brings to mind the age old adage "All that glitters is not gold". After just a couple of days i got tired of the lights.

Its a completely different culture, with a bold style and architectural excellence. Where else can you see a casino(The Venetian) where the design is such that even though its night outside, its day within. Which made me wonder whether the diners were having their lunch instead of dinner!!!. They call it a strip but it seems to extend like a sprawling city due to the huge casinos. Even three days is not enough to cover all of it.They say Vegas is all about gambling which could have been fun but for the smoky environment. It made my stomach churn.People with such sensitive nasal capabilities as mine can hardly survive in those gambling floors.Ever participated in Treasure hunt? No worries. You just have to park your car in one of the casinos and when are actually able to get back to it, it will be the best treasure that you could possibly have hunted for. The casinos are designed such that the elevators for the parking lots and that for the rooms are in different directions(have no idea on how to co relate those directions).

Heard that everything is legal so all that is a strict no-no for most of us is easily available on its streets. Getting drunk is easier than quenching your thirst.(hold on! i mean thirst for water). Everything is bracketed under one word viz. entertainment. All in all, i believe that the city should be visited at least once. Either you love it or you don't. There is nothing in between I guess . Bold style,Massive structures, extreme heat and architectural intellect are the words that i would forever associate with this place called Las Vegas.
