Question: A fool and his money are soon parted!.!.!.is that why they created VEGAS!?
Is this the type of place you'd want to go for a holiday!?

I don't think so!. This kind of thing has never appealed to me and I don't get, aside from the sleaze, why anyone would want to go there!.

To think they tried to appeal to families for a while too!.!.!.like I would EVER bring my kids there!

Well at least they are back to true form with the philosophy of what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas huh!?

Actually you are correct in what "type" of place this is!. It is dirty, loaded with crime, encourages even the "poor" to gamble away what they have, and it is the most impersonal place to live on earth!. And if my job had not taken me here, I "wouldn't" be here!. My child is grown and lives far away from here, because job or "no" job, I would NEVER raise a family in Las Vegas!. On the other hand, there are many other places with an abundance of crime, dirt, and horrible schools that I wouldn't want to subject my family to!. I will move from this rat-trap ASAP, and pray I find a more peaceful suitable environment to live!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like you, Vegas has never appealed to me!. But for some (like my brother and uncle) Vegas has a unique attraction that seems to pull people in from all over the world!. I've tried to get to the root of this, but the most I can say is that the human race seems to be attracted to danger!. We love putting ourselves at risk just to see if we can get away with it!. Vegas is, as you put it, "sleazy" and "seedy," two words that seem to imply something unwholesome and deadly!. People flock to this place simply because it can potentially ruin their lives, whether through gambling, prostitutes, or some thug on the street, and so they get that adrenaline rush that signifies they're risking their lives and/or well-being!.

But that's just my opinion :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
