The tourists never get to see the best parts of Vegas, but they say “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” but the truth is usually it stays here because it’s boring! People fly in, stay on the strip in a hotel dripping with neon plus lazers, they eat at the expensive franchises, they see the sizable phony shows, plus they think they have experienced the city… I am a local, haven’t been to the strip in numerous months, plus let me tell you the tourist area of Vegas is the worst part.
If you want the real Las Vegas, you need to get away from the neon lights plus explore the area.
I am an Uber driver who advertises himself as a Las Vegas tour guide for the “real” Vegas. I don’t go to the strip or take people to casinos for any reason – I drive them around the actual neighborhood of Las Vegas to let them see it for themselves. I also let them drink booze plus smoke cannabis while in the ride, because I have found that leads to longer rides plus bigger tips… Las Vegas is a wonderful town, plus there is always high quality live tunes off the strip; Did you assume that the Blues is alive plus well in Vegas? That’s right, the entertainment plus the cannabis you find in the real Las Vegas is far superior to the phony stuff they sell to the tourists! I encourage almost everyone to come visit Las Vegas at least once in your life, but when you do, get away from the Strip!
