Leaving the lights behind

So when you go to Vegas what do you end up doing? Do you embrace debauchery? Gamble? Drink? How about go see a show?

I have a small confession to make, I have been to Las Vegas many, many ,many times and I have never seen the Hoover Dam, nor have I embraced other small Nevada towns like Laughlin.

Sign on San Diego has a great article that talks about the wild west that still exists in parts of Nevada, maybe I will be tempted to leave the lights next time I am in town.

Resort Fees? What the F**k?

Las Vegas now has Resort Fees, yes you read that right. You will now be paying a fee on top of your hotel rate, to stay in Las Vegas. Resorts say the fees cover amenities such as high-speed Internet, gym and pool access and newspaper delivery.
I say they are nothing more than a money grab.
The fees do vary from hotel to hotel and as with everything in Las Vegas from guest to guest. So yes if you are big player or a frequent traveler you will have this fee waived. I however will not LOL.
While I understand that the entire US economy is still reeling from the recent Recession, I really have to question the business sense of this. People are definitely not stupid and they know when they are being worked over. I don’t agree with these fees, will it stop me from going to Vegas and paying them? Not a chance!
How do you feel?
