I found Vegas to be pretty awesome. Nothing was too surprising given all my friends have been a combined 100x, and I've been hearing, reading, researching about it for 20 years. Was pretty much exactly as I expected, except for a few things.
1.) Place is an optical illusion in terms of the distance between places. Good grief. "Oh, let's check out Bellagio for a bit before dinner, there it is directly across the street"
...35 minutes later you finally make it to the lobby. Lol. Actually kind of annoying after awhile. I had "learned" tennis shoes by Day 2 for our daytime "exploring", couldn't care less if that's not acceptable.
2.) Time change was a huge factor. Knew it would be, but it was even more than I anticipated. Pretty wodie being up and about at 6am (which is 9am in my mind), but by the end of the day/after dinner ------> done, and that was with us pretending/planning our days as if we were on EST. Wouldn't have gone to a club with free entry, table, and open bar. Not without drugs, at least...wouldn't have been physically possible.
Also, as predicted, that place just isn't for my wife. She had a fine time, but would be perfectly happy never going again. So, I drew a proverbial line in the cigarettes & informed her I'll be going solo/with friends at least once every few years.
To her credit, she was great the entire trip. Had freedom to "do my thing" pretty much the entire time except for dinner/show time.
