Hey Vegas Lovers !
It’s Tuesday and already the middle of February 2020. Today I’m thinking, dreaming and planning our next adventure in Las Vegas. As a Vegas #writer I thought to write a couple of topics today, that I’m sure everyone of our Vegas Lovers group have experienced in one way or another.
Let’s get started :
Topic One : The Day You Have to Leave Vegas
Your last day in Vegas before heading home is indeed a sad day, in fact you may even say it sucks big time - lol. I truly hate our last day in Vegas, simply because you know it’s not long before you have to head to the McCareen International Airport, checking in for another gruelling trip home. In today’s world we must arrive two hours before your flight, hanging around...completely bored. Most of us try our last try at the airports slot machines, just in case. As of matter of fact, you would be surprised how many visitors win at the McCareen Airport. It may not be much, but sometimes a winner hits the mother-load. It’s the last glimmer of hope before the inevitable reality of heading home.
There’s a wide range of tourists, from the hungover frat-boys/girls to the middle-aged crowd who forgot their drinking limits, paying for their misjudgment. Then there’s the ones who came to Vegas thinking they were heading home with buckets of money ; instead leaving penniless and quite upset with the knowledge the Vegas odds are always in the house’s favour. Others are completely worn out due to the misbelieve they can go sleepless during their three day stay.
On top of these stereotypes, there’s the HighRoller, like my friend, who either boasts of their winnings or for some unknown ( well..we know) they’re not saying a word - lol. Experienced gamblers have their ups and downs, while Vegas weeds out the wanna-a-bees - I’m sure you’ve heard the Spice girl lyrics :
“Wannabe”
Spice Girls
Ha ha ha ha ha
Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah.”
Yup ! That’s the one - lol.
Unfortunately, if you’re arrogant or too sure of yourself playing poker, Vegas will throw you a learning curve, wishing you listened to your buddies. ‘Professional Poker Players’ eagerly wait to pounce on the unsuspecting, like sharks in a murky ocean wave.
Then there’s us, the more experienced Vegas Lovers who played Vegas within their limits, but are just plain sad our vaca ( vacation ) is finished this time around.
For me, I’m already planning for my next trip back to Vegas, jotting down the restaurants I won’t come back to and those I loved, including pubs, the awesome entertainment and tours Im sure to try again. However, it’s always a heavy-hearted day leaving Vegas. Only one time, I was ready for home. We had such a great deal, we stayed for seven days. After seven days, we ran out of money and became tired of the eating-out routine. All our winnings were completed. So, our eighth day felt just about right.
We find, any day shorter then four days, it’s too short of a stay in Vegas Wonderland. As far as the amount of times in Vegas, I believe we have averaged hundreds of times in Vegas since 1980’s. I’m sure it would be more if we weren’t so far away. Each time we go to Vegas it has averaged $3500 -$4500 per vaca. I know it’s doesn’t sound like much to our rich friends, who spend on the average of $25,000 during their stay. Just consider us Vaca-Poor-Folk - lol.
I know a few American friends who spend just one night in Vegas - Go Figure ?!
That’s not enough time to do anything in Vegas. On that note, Vegas can become overwhelming to the newcomers, not realizing how busy Vegas really is. There’s no way you can experience everything in one holiday event. Nope. Vegas takes “little-bite morsels” of FUN times, along with seeing the north or south side of the Vegas Strip, not to mention the off-the-Strip experience.
That’s Vegas !
INTERMISSION TIME - get something to eat, have a coffee and we’ll see you back for Topic Two.
Topic Two - Difference in Vegas Lover Groups
My next topic surrounds the difference in Vegas Lovers . There are the nice YOUTUBERS and the YOUTUBERS who are just looking for your money, feeding you their tested experience in Vegas.
I enjoy the nice VEGAS YOUTUBERS :
This group of Vegas Lovers are the free-style friendly ones who don’t care of your age or group. They are on top of their YouTube feed, making sure they respond to your enquires or likes and are deeply appreciative of those that follow them.
Then there’s the Not-so-Nice YOUTUBERS :
This group of YOUTUBERS don’t care if you mention them and only respond to their posts if they want to, or you’re in their age group. They are out for your money, because they’re too lazy to find a real job. These type feed off you for hand-outs, expecting if you want your questions or posts answered, you must join their “Patron” gifting program. It’s only then they’ll even recognize their fans. Personally they are annoying and pretty much arrogant.
So, to recap. IF you are a YOUTUBER there’s Youtube etiquette that you should follow, no matter how many followers you get. Of course, it’s overwhelming when you hit 150,000 followers. However, each and every follower requires your individual attention. That’s your job as a YOUTUBER.
Today, I like to introduce to my Vegas Followers a nice YOUTUBER - please meet Michelle and Dave of : We Work to Visit Vegas
The two are fun, free-style hosts of Las Vegas who showcase their daily vaca days in a Vegas. The ups and downs, the minute-to-minute ( with intermission editing) of their daily experiences in Las Vegas. I enjoy the fact, they’re down-to-earth couple who are indeed Vegas Lovers, like ourselves. They have even organized 2 Vegas Summits ( a Vegas Summit is where WE [Vegas Lovers] meet for drinks socially at a specific safe spot in Vegas, opened to the rest of the public ). Their last meeting was at the beerhaus las vegas in-between New York, New York, Las Vegas and The Park, MGM. Just a FUN get together for everyone to share their fun times in Vegas.
See their YouTube site here - as of January 2020
Here’s them talking about planning for their next Vegas Summit III in around Sept 13, 2020 (Sunday) :
IF you’re interested, we too are planning to go to this event. Perfect time to meet the writers of Vegas, the Vegas Lovers and the hosts of the Vegas Lovers Youtuber Group.
If you can, join us - it’s sure to be a FUN evening.
I’ll keep you posted, simply be the times may or may not change. It may work for you, it may not.
Don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to “We Work To Visit Vegas” - they are remarkable genuine friendly folks - hosts Dave and Michelle:
In Conclusion:
As most of our Vegas Lovers know, I’m a writer and screenwriter and not so much a YouTube developer. I rather write of my experiences and it’s my belief some of you may actually read about it. It’s a fast-pace life out there, so it’s always good to bury yourself in a good book sometimes.
I know it’s old school, but it’s good to put down your electronics to keep your sanity. Don’t forget to read my posts on my Vegas Websites too. Let me know if there’s anything you like me to write about in Vegas.
I hope your week is going well ! Congratulations! If you read my whole blog post.
As always - I will see YOU in Vegas and don’t forget to “Put-on-your-Vegas-Face”
Cheers 🍻
