Sorry, but after 3 nights and 4 days we just didn't see the point.

I don't know how anyone could spend 4 days in Las Vegas. I really don't. When I drive through it on road trips, I try to close my eyes. My dad was a lawyer and knew the people who absolutely ran Vegas, including "Lefty", the character played by DeNiro in "Casino" and Mo Shenker who owned the Dunes. We could have gone there and been treated like visiting Monarchs but never went, my old man said it was "a schithole."
He did get his secretary and her husband last minute tickets to see Elvis once from Shenker, apparently that was the hardest ticket ever in LV.
For me, the more they build it up and put lipstick on it, the bigger a schithole it becomes. It's such an American place in the worst way, just a huge, ugly monument to consumerism and bad taste.
It's like the old joke:
"We're having a contest! First prize-one night in Las Vegas! Second prize-TWO nights in Las Vegas! Lol...
