  • @mooncrime4998
    @mooncrime4998 Год назад +13

    As someone with addictive tendencies, time blindness, and poor money sense, gambling (and probably by extension Vegas, since it is the lion's den of that particular form of manipulation) is a not-even-once kind of situation for me. Like smoking, it seems like a very easy way to risk ruining your life. If I need that flavor of excitement I'll stop wearing my seat belt in the car.
    That said, I enjoyed this guide a great deal and learned a lot about traveling in general. Once again, netshaq has produced content with an extreme emphasis on practicality that I have thoroughly enjoyed despite having little to no practical use for it.

  • @TheOnlyBongo

    I am glad you did mention Area 15 and OmegaMart which are probably my favorite experiences to be found in Vegas. Personally for me I would also love to add on top of those the underrated museums of the area. The Atomic Museum and the Mob Museum are fantastic places to visit. The Pinball Hall of Fame is also really fun. And if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle the Springs Reserve/Nevada State Museum and of course Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park, Lake Mead, etc. There is a lot to do out there that isn't based around drinking, eating, gambling, showboating, or uh...fornicating lol

  • @NCKMCMLLN

    Wow...the opening of this video is me ! I basically hate travel too and yet I LOVE going to Las Vegas. I don't know why but it's different than any other place I've been. I've been on vacation there more times than anywhere else I've been. I keep going back for some reason. Even though it seems like a high energy place, it can have a very relaxed vibe. There's lots of opportunities to do things, and everything's in easy access, but there's no pressure to really DO anything. I also love Red Rocks too, and the contrast between the city and the wild desert, and the fact that the city ends so abruptly and the rural desert is right there. I could go on and on. The only thing that sucks about Vegas is that it's an ecological disaster. But otherwise I love it.

    to be honest the local bit about the people not going to eat on the strip really resonated. As someone who lived in NOLA for a few years whenever anyone asked me where to eat in the french quarter I genuinely didnt have any recommendations because there's a lot of great food outside the quarter at like 3/4 the price and probably half the health violations, so real shit mr shaq. (also great vid ily parasocial papi)

    One thing he didn't cover in gambling: Poker. You can play for an extremely long time and break even and the social scene at tables are typically very fun. I've spent 3-6 hours at tables chatting with the same people and no matter the outcome it was already very fun.

    That being said, the absolute highlight of my most recent Vegas trip (also in February, best time to go hell yeah) was accidentally finding The Barbershop at The Cosmo and walking in to a full blown concert. After a weekend of drinking and partying like crazy, we were all too tired/hungover to drink or club anymore. This was the perfect cap to our weekend and I’ll recommend it for as long as the venue continues to exist!
