I've never been to Vegas, but I've been to Reno and that was bad enough, so I don't think I ever will.

I never been & nothing about it ever appealed to me except the idea of getting married at the the drop of a hat to some women I barely know. I really wanted a serious realtionship when I was single so if the woman would of tried to make the marriage work instead of getting an annulment/divorce, it would of been great.

No thanks,all those lights and noise.I’ve been there but stayed in Henderson and avoided the strip.There was a lagoon at the resort,that’s where I planted myself.Have no desire to ever go back.I did like the Valley of Fire.

I've been there---once. It's not a nightmare---but it's not Heaven, either.

It's the epitome of sensory overload. I'm not a gambler so casinos are not of any interest to me. I've been there three times if I recall correctly and all were business conference related.

I'm also naive in some ways related to human interaction. The first time I went with my wife and we were walking outside on a sidewalk on "the strip". Someone was holding some booklets and looked at me and asked where I was from. I started to respond and my wife whispered to me and said: "DON'T say anything! Just keep walking!" I realized afterward they were wanting to sell something. She'd never been to Las Vegas before but she grew up in a big city. I asked her how she knew ahead of time that the person wanted something from us and she said it was obvious.

I was raised in Las Vegas and lived there for 13 years. I liked the hotels and malls on the strip. I didn't like the heat.

Haven't been, but I'd love to go to the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Music Festival.

My parents have gone there, but I never have and I don't plan to ever. I'm not a gambler and the heat sounds awful, even if it's a dry heat like everyone says.

I went there back in 2012, and I enjoyed it more than I expected. The main thing I didn't like was getting up and down the Strip as the bus was so slow and hot. Besides that, I liked the hotel, I liked the Titanic Exhibition at the Luxor, and I even enjoyed the rock music they were playing on Fremont Street. I only gambled a little bit - I think I broke even on virtual roulette.
