Dec. 23rd, 2019 06:10 pmI’m on my way back home from the west, and currently at McCarrick Airport in Las Vegas waiting for my flight back to Newark. It was a fun nine days or so, but it really is time to head back.
I have one thing to say: Nevada really took gambling to a ridiculous level. As soon as you get off your airplane, you’re standing face to face with slot machines right in the airport terminal. Every crappy motel has a gambling room. Every gas station has at least one or two machines. At least for a person like me that really doesn’t care to gamble, And it isn’t just Las Vegas. Every little rinky-dink town is like that. It’s really tacky looking. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to live in the state.
That said, the sight-seeing in California and Nevada were absolutely beautiful. I saw Death Valley, the Hoover Dam, the London Bridge, and a few things in and around Los Angeles.
As I said in my last post, I posted a ton of photos in my Instagram. The 22 most recent (to date) posts are all from my vacation.
