Excuse Me, I Can Lose Without Your Help
Why are some casinos so full of themselves? Don't they know there are 40+ casinos in Vegas to choose from to donate my hard-earned money? Why do they become stingy with comps intermittently? Don't they know I have 40+ other players club cards with points and comps on them? If they don't do it, someone will. As always, this player takes a risk on the highest bidder. But don't think that the highest bidder is always the highest classed. A low end property can offer me more in comps than a higher end one. Why do some charge you 2 arms and a leg and then take both your nickel and your dime to buy a cake and eat it too? Don't they know there's a place where all of that falls on the equivalent of a dollar menu? Please, get it together. I do not need your help if you do not understand the concept of value.

Doing Vegas, or Vegasing
When I do Vegas, I do Vegas my way. Getting drunk is not compulsory for me. In fact, it's of no interest. Fine dining? Not a concern. This, however, does not mean this blog can not appeal to those who like to get wasted and/or rub elbows with whales. To the contrary, mere mention of Vegas will compel an avid Vegasist to dream about that which constitutes them doing Vegas. This blog will address multiple facets of Vegas even those I would not necessarily engage in. If going nuts at clubs or going by different aliases while in the city floats your boat, trust me this blog will discuss it. It just might not be in favor. Either way, you will read it and you will share your opinions.
When it comes to doing Vegas, this is an ongoing, cyclical process. You arrive in Vegas, you enjoy yourself, you leave, and then you enjoy yourself thinking about arriving, enjoying yourself in and then leaving Vegas...before you start the cycle all over again with your next trip.
The specifics of what drives me wild about Vegas include mostly inexpensive entertainment and lodging, beautiful and luxurious ambiance, gorgeous pools, and playing. But what intrigues me most is that almost anything a person could want to do, they can find it in Vegas (or at least a simulated version). In this way, I can discuss both the things I am most concerned with in doing Vegas and also all the other activities and options available in doing Vegas...and what I think about them.
A true Vegasist never truly stops doing Vegas, or Vegasing.

Avid Vegasist
There is life...and then there is Vegas. And a lot of gray in-between.
For an avid Vegasist like myself, the boundaries between Vegas and life blur. Despite not living in Vegas and having no desire to, this ultimate vacation spot becomes a habitat for me, of which aliens, those who care not for my beloved Vegas, dare not attempt to blemish with spews of hatred and disgust, for they will be squished by myself and followers. How could a human being not absolutely adore Vegas? If Vegas is not your thing, this is actually a place to share because this blog is about the intersections of Vegas and life...and whatever that means to you and I.
Vegas is a physical as well as an ideological habitat. When I am there, I am home. When I am not there, I am there in my mind. I read all that I can about Vegas, in between studying for exams as a graduate student, taking care of family, bonding with friends, working, and doing those things that have nothing to do with Vegas....and yet everything to do with Vegas. I have gone to Vegas once with my sister, once with my close friend, once with my boyfriend, once by myself, and never have been in a group. It dawned on me that my closest friends and family had no inclinations towards Vegas--to them, it was just a place. Unfrickinbelievable. Vegas is not just a place; it's a lifestyle. Com'on. I am yet to find a friend who shares the same love and joys of living and breathing Vegas.
Now, do not get me wrong this is just a blog to discuss all that is, all that goes on in, what I think about, how I feel about...Vegas. As I live my daily life. It is not some kind of obsessive following...although it has its potentials. It's all about sharing the love of Vegas in a multidimensional way--not simply the vacation itself but also how it impacts us on a day-to-day basis.
