Las Vegas is one of the few places on earth that can be seen from space. The lights that fill the night sky are just one indication of the type of place this is. Big, bright and wasteful it is, a place of culture it is not. I travelled to LasVegas to meet some friends of some friends. The last few miles of sky entering Las Vegas are exceedingly impressive, with the desert and mountains stretched out beneath you. Make the most of this sight, as it will be the last you may appreciate. Las Vegas in the day is drab, brightened only by the brides that stream out through wedding chapel doors every 10 minutes, banging into each other as they try to pose for photographs. The only other pastime you will find are the casinos, that at any time of day are packed with depressed, desperate people, hanging out for a few dollars in winnings. As well as being a blackhole for money, this is a place of scantily dressed women with perfect figures. Great for the men but as a woman, unless you are also a perfect size ten, ultimately depressing. Add to this the never ending ping ping ping from the machines and the constant electric shocks whenever you touch anything and I found this to be my nightmare city. It is probably worth visiting for a couple of hours at night to see the buildings which are impressively designed and lit, to enjoy a good meal and to admire the wild animals caged within the hotels for our enjoyment. However for me, I remember Las Vegas as a monument to Human greed, lust and lack of respect for others and the world around us.
