Journal / Las Vegas

las vegas.
see, las vegas isn’t so bad. but in some ways that’s part of the problem with las vegas. it’s supposed to be kind of bad, isn’t it?
everytime i come here i find myself looking around for some lingering traces of the glamour and/or degeneracy that typified las vegas as it used to be.
and not to be one of the many people who complain that las vegas has become a big, middle-american strip mall, but, well, las vegas has seemingly become a big, middle-american strip mall.
maybe there’s a crazy side to las vegas that i haven’t seen. i dunno. but what i see when i come to las vegas are bored senior citizens at the slot machines, frat boys at the pool, and baby-elephants hoovering up the deep fried celery at the buffet lines.
ok, off to the airport now.
i do kind of regret that i didn’t ride the rollercoaster at new york, new york.
i like rollercoasters.
