What is so cool about spending your hard earned money in Las Vegas? I’ve never truly understood this. I personally don’t like spending money just to spend money. Las Vegas Strip, is a singular example of government and private industry working together to extract every last dollar from every last man, woman and child in America.

Seriously, can anyone lay out for me what it is that is so great and cool about Las Vegas?
Thanks

How about bring home more $$$$ than you started with?
Free meals?
Free rooms?
Great shows?
Some people do win you know. My wife is one of those lucky people that doesn't lose.

Are you serious? Many people would find several of those 10 things to be interesting and memorable experiences in the entertainment capital of the world. It's not "spending money just to spend money." Welcome to the board, one-post wonder.

Youre the guy standing around in the corner at a party that no one is talking to aren't you?

Just an FYI - Slotzilla does not have a "first of its kind propulsion system". I just did it a couple weeks ago, and the only propulsion system is pushing off with your arms. The 35mph is accurate, though, depending on weight. I'm about 235, and went 5000 mph (or so it seemed)

Another correction would be on number 6. Drive really fast. The Ford Mustang Shelby 500 is not the most muscular of American muscle cars. The Dodge Challenger/Charger Hellcat is the correct answer.

For some reason, the link I posted did not post correctly. This is the correct link.

Well.. Gravity, too. That is, after all, the MAIN propulsion system.

I did it over the summer. Actually, not HORRIBLY bad for the price. Though, I did an entire day (3-4 hours) of ziplining in Asheville, NC for about $80 and that one ride in Vegas was $40..
