Tuesday night I got back from a week long vacation with my family to Las Vegas. The last and only other time I've been to sin city was when I was eight years old, so I don't really remember a lot about that experience. This time I don't remember a lot for a different reason....
SIKE!
Anyway, here are my thoughts about Vegas. It is WEIRD! The first few days my brother and I would walk around the strip and all I could say was, this place is so strange! I've been to touristy places before but nothing compares to Vegas. Everyone is there for entertainment of some sort - shows, gambling, relaxation or anything else you can imagine, people just want to have a good time. And the hotel staffs definitely make sure you do. First of all the hotels are literally bigger than my home town. One of the places we stayed had over 6,000 rooms! And that's not even the biggest one! That's crazy! And that's not even counting all the restaurants, shoppes, theatres, spas, pools, etc. One day we didn't leave our hotel at all, and it felt like I had been all over town. You can have anything you'd ever imagine all delivered with a smiling face, saying "absolutely Miss Bassett!" Sure, it's fun for a few days to live in the lap of luxury, but I quickly realized that this type of lifestyle is not normal. Overall I did have a really good time. I enjoyed spending time with my family and doing things I would never get the opportunity to do in Monahans, but I am also very glad to be home.
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas.

So you didn't do anything Katy Perry style crazy? I feel like Las Vegas would be weird because it seems like everything is a fake version of something else, but I've never been and I'm not all that interested in going. Here's what I'm thinking "Siedney & Roy!". Pretty awesome right?
