Travel Narative
Can you remember your first major trip? I have gone on many trips before, but my first major one was just over summer break. My family, my brother, my mom, my dad, and me were heading to Sin City: Las Vegas, Nevada. Before this I did not believe a whole city could be build on the principle of being a tourist trap, but I believe Las Vegas can pull it off very easily. From the way the city is set up to how the casinos and various other establishments run. Everything is set up to pull at the senses or your concentration from where it was or should be on. This city is geared towards turning a profit at the expense of the naive tourist. I got my first glimpse of Las Vegas through my window in the plane. In most spots it looked like a normal town, there were homes, business, and people doing what they had to that day. Then there were exceptions. In some spots it looks like huge hotel and casino have grown out the sandy soil like giants next to ants. In place of the two way streets their was a six lane road-the Strip. So we arrived in Vegas and made our way to the hotel, the Golden Nugget. It looked like a normal hotel except for the millions of lights on the on it, none of which were light up because it w
There were a few news channels and some basic cable channels. There was roulette, craps, and keno ow my. The sounds that carried to us where the metallic sounds of slot machines, the clink of tokens or chips, and people screaming when the dice or cards fell in their favor or cursing when they did not. I had fun while I way there and I'll probably go back it the opportunity presents itself. I tried a lot of the games I did not like slots except when I got one away from winning the vette, I got my butt kick in blackjack, won and lost at let it ride which was a fun game, and I could not figure out craps. Las Vegas is one of those once in their lifetime experiences that everyone needs to have: just don't get caught up and loss more then you're willing to. Then there were the casinos, the Belgio, Stratosphere, and New York New York, just to name a few. All the buildings were lit up like it was some freakish Griswald family Christmas; even the McDonalds had the flashing lights! I could not believe it everything pulsed as if this city was hooked up to an electrical heart. There were nickel, quarter, family feud editions, and ever win a Corvette slots. So when we got to the room I checked them out. I believe this was aimed so you wouldn't spend too much time in your rooms. No matter if it in a floating casino here in Missouri or a hotel/casino in Vegas the deck is always stacked in the casinos favor. There was even more of the marble in the bathrooms and the living area was carpeted and wallpapered. Then come the card tables there must have been a hundred different card games.
