Day 357: Walking the Strip

With a full day to spend I decided to head over to the Strip to check out all the things that make Las Vegas famous. I decided to walk there from my hostel, which turned out to be further than expected, but not by enough to be much of a hassle. Through the course of the day I just wandered around heading from one casino to the next, gambling a very small amount (I don't exactly have a lot of money left in my budget to waste by this point) but mostly just checking out the excess and faux luxury Vegas is famous for. The one thing I probably would have rather enjoyed about Las Vegas - the shows, was eventually discared as a possibility because of the cost, although I still suspect it would have been worth it to indulge in at least one.


My basic take on Las Vegas is that it's interesting to see has an emblem of American culture, but that I'd really struggle to spend more than a few days there, especially alone. Despite all the crazy buildings and fantastic shows, it's really a place of experiences, and I feel you really need to be sharing things as part of a group to really get much enjoyment out of it.
