Observations about Las Vegas

Over the past week, instead of being a studious student, I decided to spend way too much money and get on a plane. Where do you may ask? Well ladies and gents I decided to go to Las Vegas.

Now the reason I went to Vegas isn’t actually as crazy as you think, and no I didn’t gamble my whole college savings away. I instead went to Vegas to attend a military ball. Now unfortunately I can’t really tell you too much about what happened at the ball, but I can tell you that this was a lot more formal than any formal event you’ve ever been to.

But if I am going to be 100 % honest with you, my date and I didn’t stay for the whole ball, mainly because no one really stays for the whole thing. So immediately after that we decided to walk the Strip and that is when I learned some very valuable things.

The first thing is that I am not a city girl, and for all the people who are from Vegas or any big town in general, I am so sorry that you have to deal with that much traffic. The second thing is never go anywhere in Vegas by yourself, especially if you don’t know the area. Now you might be thinking that this is a given in any location, but my question is how do you get lost in your hotel that you have been staying in for the past three days? And why are they so big? And the third thing is don’t go on The Big Apple Coaster when you are on the verge of having a headache.

And if you were also wondering, no I didn’t come back with a tattoo, a piercing, or married, I instead came back with a build-a-bear and a bunch of M&Ms, so I would say that this trip was a successful one.
