Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I decided to reach back into my old pictures and grab some from a while ago!

Vegas Strip Wednesday Walk

Years ago I got the chance to go to Vegas and I took a few pictures to remember it by, which is good because I don't think I'd ever want to go back LOL

This weeks Wednesday Walk I didn't get out to do much walking recently for a few reasons so instead I am making sure to go back into my older picture libraries on my SD cards and grab some pictures to see what I can put together for a post or two! Las Vegas, Nevada, is one of the most iconic places in America though it's for one of the bad reasons lol. It's a center of gambling and vices, if you really think about it. Gambling, drinking, indulging, prostitutes it's all pretty wild.

What is also wild is that this thing is situated in the middle of the damn desert LOL

Las Vegas wasn't that bad but it was just one of those places that you visit, say you did it and really don't plan on going back for any specific reason. I think for me it's that I don't do the gambling thing and I also don't do the night clubbing until the sun rises and bring some nasty lady home to have a bit of fornication. That's really not my jam.. so I think that might be why Vegas was not as interesting to me as it was to some other people.

What really struck me was how frequently you were reminded of it being in the middle of the desert, there were places everywhere that made it clear you were not in somewhere naturally occurring lol. There were empty lots and just sand and tumbleweeds, that was pretty cool to see but also a little unnerving. Having grown up near water my entire life, I don't know if I could live somewhere that water was that scarce and feel like it was something I could do for a long time. It may seem weird, but water is kind of important.. haha so it confuses me why people live there.

The other funny thing about it all was when you left the "strip" you know that you left the strip lol. There was a lot of things on the main strip and that's what is most famous but once you start straying to the edges of it, you are reminded of the less successful businesses that are out there haha. I walked around the whole area for quite a while and was enjoying the sights and sounds of the area but I also wandered a little further off the beaten path. I don't know if I would be visiting this place at night that's for sure. I was pretty happy doing it during the day lol. There were certainly a number of interesting buildings all over the place, I forget what that one is there but I got to explore a couple of them.

There was a considerable amount of beauty to it all though. I don't want to make it sound like I didn't have a good time because I did, we did a number of really cool things when we were out there and the really funny thing about it was that it rained when we were there! Apparently it rarely rains when you are in Vegas and it rained! I can say that I've witnessed a rare phenomenon in my life with that at least lol.

I liked walking down the strip with the things you'd see in movies like the Wynn hotel here, the Venetian next to it on the right and the other really cool buildings it offers. We've all seen the big movies like the Hangover and others that glorify Las Vegas and the things that go on, so it was pretty cool to walk down and feel a little bit like you're in the movie. I would say my favorite thing to do here was look around and explore the gigantic hotels and their lobbies and casinos!
