From Las Vegas

After the second trip to Las Vegas, several of my coworkers discussed with me about how they feel about Las Vegas. Here are some of the interesting points.
1. Las Vegas are so fake. Walking through the fansy hotel, shining street, and a pretty model view from the needles, you get nothing. Because everything is not real. The caesars palace, the venus in venitian, the liberty and Eiffel Tower .. are not real. This city creats an illusion of the fancy world. But this is just another place for business. One of my coworker happened to see that the offices with computers are just like our office. Such constrat makes it even unrealistic.
2. People are so desperate to show off. You can see people dress up, spend a lot of money, talk weird. This is the place that people pretend that you are someone else. I finally learnt that people like to impress other people just by spending a lot of money. Even they have huge debt in their credit card.
3. This is really a sin city. All the shows and commercials are so insulting. But this creates a lot of attractions. The hotel published the coupons that the users can never claim the points. A lot of lure.
4. The major big hotels may not profit. They have public record to show the financial summary of the revenue and cash flows. This is reasonable. They have to spend big operating expenses just to run the hotel. Some of my friends got free tickets to las vegas just because the airline did not meet the quote for the hotels, so they have to give them away.

This happened like 4 weeks ago. Just to record it before I forget everything. But I do not see myself go there again in recent years. Natual beauty is more attractive.
