Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I drove through the WORST Parts of Las Vegas, Nevada. Holy crap!

Vegas is a shithole. Really poorly planned. If you arent in summerlin or henderson its bad

This is no different than most urban areas.
Decidedly, the west coast cities are bigger cesspools. The east coast cities hide their homelessness in public housing built back in the late 50's and 60's.

It has a uniquely weird problem. Its kind of hard to explain but driving there is unnecessarily difficult.PurpleThrobber said:This is no different than most urban areas.

Everything is a bit denser than it probably should be with not enough streetlights. Like I found myself doing a ton of U turns when I lived there. -
North Vegas is where you go when you've fucked up once too often on the Strip.

I have little use for it and really don’t get the attraction. I find the whole place depressing.
Shit hole is right. -
I have been to Vegas at least 150 times over 4 decades. It has gone so down hill over the last few decades that it now depresses me. My hope is that I never have to go again. My last born and raised Vegas friend is about to depart to another state so the odds are that I will never have a reason to. This is going to sound horrible but the place was so much better when the mob was in charge.
Clearly liberal politics have destroyed many west coast cities but I just don't get Vegas.
The last time I was there I got stuck in the MGM Grand. I had not stayed there since its opening week 28 years ago. I couldn't believe how run down and tired the place was. My room was beat up and filthy. I made the mistake of taking a taxi from the convention center to the hotel during rush hour. It took over an hour. The breakfast buffet was $30. They used to be the big draw to Vegas. $2.99 for all you could eat. $75 filet's? Really?
Entertainment? A family of four can spend $500 just to see Beatles Love. There are literally zero good deals to be had.
The city used to be safe during late night. That is no longer the case. The transgender hookers are everywhere. Bums sitting on the sidewalk smoking pot. Its just trashy in every way.
You would think that with all the increased prices and all the convention business, Vegas couldn't possibly fuck it up, but they did.
Last but not least, If I had a nickel for every gambler who told me they never lose in Vegas I would be able to rebuild the Sahara.
I have a friend in Reno right now. He said that place has gone down the shitter too. I don't get it. -
Mob did better job of running that city

At least the hookwrs were actually womenFireCohen said:Mob did better job of running that city
