Sin City

Now I know why Las Vegas is called that. Really it's an unfair name for a very unique city. Besides the fact that one of my friends lives there I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this city of extremes.

Vegas may be over-the-top in certain areas, but you must see it for how damn amazing it truly is. The "strip" is nothing short of incredible. Yes, billions of dollars and wacky people with more money than sense fuel this area but see it for more than that. Being someone who enjoys architecture this place is splendid. Look past the glitz and you can find truly amazing things.

Keep in mind the strip is only one piece of a very large picture. Freemont is certainly worth your time and energy if you ever visit. This is primarily where we hung out. The party atmosphere and the nifty lightshows were only part of it all. The casinos in this section are older and have a bit more charm in comparison to thier glitzy grandkids down the street.

Also outside the city lies beauty in its rawest form. Take the time to get away from the city and see what the state has to offer. Short distances from the core one can find extraordinary beauty surrounding the city of sin.

I got to connect with a buddy and see some grand things that truly stand apart from one another. If you're interested in pictures check here. Please note, I tried very hard to capture the intensity of the strip at night and failed misrably so accept my apologies in advance.

Enough of my rambles. On to your update, enjoy.
