Review of Las Vegas, Nevada


I don't live in Las Vegas
Star Rating - 3/21/2018
This is a positive review. Why? Because I've compared numerous cities, some considered "destination cities" where you'd think people would like to brag about being from. They all have been trolled to death with haters hating on them on this website. bad reviews galore. Conservative cities are too conservative. Liberal cities are too liberal. yadda yadda yadda. Seems NO ONE likes where they live regardless of where it is they live. So why Las Vegas and why 5 stars? Why not. I've been there 3 or 4 times as a tourist and I never ventured anywhere other than the Vegas Strip, Fremont Street and then down to Hoover Dam so what do I know about living there. NOTHING. However, Las Vegas is the one city that I keep saying "I want to go back there again." Chicago? Been there many times. Eh, if I never go back no biggie. Miami? Forget it. I will NEVER go back there. UGH! St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville, Milwaukee - These are carbon copy cities, all about the same size and pace of living and while they may each have their own little distinct flavor, you never hear anyone say "Hey, got my vacation in Columbus, Ohio coming up and I'm so stoked." I can't imagine Las Vegas being "family friendly" but families DO LIVE THERE. I've seen them. So it can't be too bad, right? Yeah, it's desert and brown and hot as holy hell in the summer, but I've seen Counting Cars on TV and those guys are wearing coats during episodes taped in the winter, so the temp can dip a little too. There you go, we call them SEASONS! Haha, but seriously, I'm tired of clicking on cities and seeing mostly negative reviews for ALL of them. Thought I'd change it up a little. Las Vegas - FIVE STAR CITY.
