      Ikr, I can’t relate to Vegas-enjoyers, even before Trump.
      Unless you’re into fake gold, cigarette smoke, tire dust, concrete, gambling, objectification.
      I don’t believe in Hell, but Vegas is straight up nightmarish.
      It’s like a pizza oven over there, the concrete radiates heat well after the sunset.
      They abuse AC everywhere to a level where you’re either freezing inside or cooking outdoors.
      The strip itself could be pedestrian focused but it’s instead car-centric for no reason.
      Trucks go up and down the strip for the sole purpose of pulling an ad-trailer-TV thing.
      Crossing the street is potentially a 5-10 minute affair that takes you through a mall because reasons.
      It’s basically an incarnation of the worst of capitalism and consumerism in the most unsustainable way in the most stupid place.
      I hate the place with a passion and I cannot imagine willfully spending time there when one can be literally anywhere else instead.

      Most of it only accessible by car. :/

      We do bus tours from cities sometimes, but those don’t always exist or go where we want.

      I don’t love outdoor sports either. Hiking, skiing, camping… snore
