Some shows overpriced and overrated (don't bother with Absinthe, juvenile and unfunny). Lots and lots of homeless people and beggars, as well as a pervasive cheap and nasty attitude toward women, wit
Insider Tip:Keep your cash in a moneybelt and count it as often as you can. Seriously, don't bother with Absinthe. It's shit.
Loved Vegas - But I wouldn't stay more that a few days there for fear of lossing all my money on gambling and booze :-D Its also very overwhelming! Lots of people, lights and stuff going on - Sensory overload!
