So fucking jealous. DV is on my list. Did you go to Zarbriski point? If so you stepped on historical ground where the front cover shot of the Joshua Tree of was taken. The actual tree is off of route 190. I need to f'ing go.

Edit..looks like you did see Zarbriski point?? (Second pic). Damn

I also don't really get why there's such negativity towards Vegas. It can be really fun for a few days. 

I should actually say the strip just doesnt appeal to me.  It just kind of seems to be repetitive.  Like, it just repeats itself every 300 feet or so.  casino, strip joint, hot dog stand, t shirt shop, spencers gifts, casino, strip joint, hot dog stand, spencers gifts........

Everything we did, we did outside of the strip.  There was almost no reason for us to be staying on the strip, but i guess when you go to Vegas, thats what you do.  Its just a little over the top for me.

The strip can definitely get cheesy quick but there are some great restaurants, shows, bars, pools, etc. I had a blast staying off of the strip, enjoying the big resort pool and desert sun and then also going way outside of town to drive quads in the desert.

All of my negativity toward Vegas is a direct result of me being totally out of control and doing stupid shit a number of times.  All of my high school friends live in either Phoenix, LA or Albuquerque, and I did about 2 Vegas bachelor parties per year for a decade.  Lots of good old family fun can be had I'm sure, but I'm a piece of shit and should not be allowed to go without significant supervision.

I'll volunteer to take you to Vegas and offer "supervision".

Ever notice how the people walking around the casinos are mostly obese, have walkers and oxygen tanks to breathe? It’s like the biggest concentration of unhealthy people in one place. 

It’s the same at the Allentown farmers market and in my office at work.  When I was in Vegas I stayed at a high end places and it was mostly young to middle aged people partying, hanging at the pool and betting on sporting events for march madness.  Vegas is like the jersey shore for Southern California.  They descend on Sin City every weekend to party.  Club XS was amazing…I went there two nights in a row and also Club Rain at the Palms.  Also amazing buffets as well.

I was there. I didn't see U2, though. 

You would have enjoyed the sky at night. It was the second best I've seen, only to Urabamba, Peru where there is absolutely no light pollution. Seeing shooting stars all over the place. The Milky Way was stunningly present. It was just incredible.

You ain’t wrong.  Casinos especially between 12am-6am are a pretty sad and pathetic sight

When I used to go to the Sands, the Chinese folks would garbage pick.  On the buses they took in from NYC they received a $5 food voucher and often I had somebody approach me and try to sell the food voucher for $2-3.  The worst I heard was them killing ducks and geese in Bethlehem and bringing them back to NYC to cook up later.  Now all y’all know why despite a high cost of living, there are so many cheap eats in Chinatown.
