You don't have to travel the world, just come to Vegas to blow all your money. Vegas has everything you could ever want and everything you don't need, just as long as you have the Benjamins to pay for it.
Honestly, before I arrived, I thought Vegas would be overrated. And if it wasn't for my work that brought me to the American Southwest, Vegas was not on the top of my list of places I wanted to visit. But to my surprise, Vegas exceeded all my expectations! (But maybe I'm also just a sucker for shiny things).
I thought the Strip was just a section of a street with big hotels and casinos. Oh no no no! Honey let me tell you:
the Strip is a maze of castles and movie scenes; its a fantasy land that combines the past and the future into one; its a magical playground that entices you to give in to all temptations. Welcome to Sin City.
The world's most famous spots are all under one roof—the Pyramids of Egypt, the
Eiffel Tower of France, the gondolas of Venice, Times Square in New York and more. And by roof I mean one super-lit, flashy, sexy boulevard in the middle of a desert.

You cannot just walk here. The bridges, escalators, sky-walks and malls will have you lost in seconds so that you literally cannot make your way out of this place until your wallet is empty. There are advertisements in every direction and everyone here is trying to sell you something. On every corner, there are people handing out stripper flyers. They will even take you in the limo to the strip club, but you will have to find your own way back. Good luck with that.
Blinded by the lights
—no joke, your eyes start to hurt if you spend too much time on the Strip. There are huge LED digital screens in every direction your eyeballs may wander. Normal street lights? Pffft, not in this fabulous city. Vegas has lasers, lightshows, strobe lights, neon signs, and radiating tv screens.
You just stare in awe as you take in the grandeur of American commercialism.
Sin City is know for its strip clubs, sex shops, casinos, bars, clubs and shows. Millionaires from all over the world come here to blow their money. No doubt in my mind that this city has more slot machines and poker tables per capita than any other city. Even when you arrive in the Las Vegas airport, you are immediately greeted by the slot machines that are oh-so-conveniently placed for your enjoyment.

When not gambling, Vegas is shopping galore. Every luxury boutique has a shop on the Strip. There were even some stores that wouldn't even let me step foot into them. Sorry, I'm not interested in your $1000 dollar undergarments anyway.
No money? No problem. Put on your sexiest clothes and go find yourself a sugar-daddy billionaire. Afterall, this is Vegas, baby.

| Where did I find this charming and handsome dark chocolate candy bar who can seduce you in 3 different languages? Argentina. But he's already taken. Go figure! (Thanks again Scott for being such an awesome host. Love ya!) |

| The Bellagio Fountains. Absolutely Amazing! I could spend all night watching the fountains dance to the music. This is my favorite spot on the Strip. |
