I associate my time in Las Vegas mostly with elderly people with oxygen tanks, chain smoking while they put coin after coin in the slot machine. Just sad.
And they took the pull handles away because they can siphon money out of retirement accounts much faster if the victim player only needs to press a button.
Vegas is a good place to go if your idea of a good time is eating and hanging around the pool.
Other than that, it’s a glittering shithole in the desert built on the losses of prior visitors.
Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire State Park are both cool stops that aren’t too far away. I’ve never been to the Pinball Museum so I’ll have to check that one out next time.

Now you just hook your debit card to the machine and you don’t even have to put a coin in!

We use to live in a society.

Also, the Hoover Dam is nearby.

The Grand Canyon is only like 2 hours away as well. Don’t listen to the other commenter Las Vegas (and surrounding area) is a blast.
But I do actually think hanging around a pool, eating sounds like a good time.
