Am I the only one uninterested in Las Vegas or Dubai ?

Post Reply New Topic

I've never been to Dubai, but it does look interesting. I'm not sure if it's interesting enough to me to want to get on a long flight to go there though.

I've been to Las Vegas once. It's kind of neat actually, but it's not the type of destination I would likely choose over something like Disneyland. I'm not super into gambling, and I got my fill of the eclectic knockoff architecture and impressive, grand hotels, casinos and shopping centers when I went there. I also don't really care for large crowds and loud noises, so it's just not my kind of destination.

Zero appeal to me, either. I wouldn’t go on a trip to Las Vegas if I was paid a million dollars plus another million in gambling money to do it.

I guess if you like big buildings and such, Dubai might not be bad.....

I’m not actually much of one for traveling at all.

No interests... Except if family's going, which actually happens to.

I had little issues with any forms of travelling;
But I have a lot of said issues before travel is feasible or allowed. Unless I got lucky.

I would really like to travel. Better if possible to do it alone.

You are certainly not the only one!

I don't see the appeal of visiting Vegas at all.

I drove through Vegas with my family as a kid back in 1969 when we packed into the station wagon and drove for the east coast to the west coast of the whole USA.

We had just gone through the lovely interesting deserts of New Mexico and Arizona. The Desert of Nevada was different...just bleak, and lunar.

Miles and mile of bleak lunar sterile desert, and then SUDDENLY...the glitz and glare of Vegas assaults your eyes. It was midday. No Neon lights. But the glitz and glare of the ostentatious signage was still overwhelming anyway. A few minutes of oppressive glitz and glare of all the hotels and their signage (Ceasar's Palace is the only specific venue I remember), and then you pass the city limits, and suddenly... its back to the surface of the Moon again. But hey... if you're gonna have that kinda tackiness - where folks endulge in the forbidden, then the middle of a lunar desert is the place to put it!

Never had any desire to go back.

I've been to Vegas about five times, because I have family there and in California. We'd usually drive from LA to Vegas, but I've also flown because it's only a short trip. I don't love Vegas at all and I'm not into gambling (or burning to death from the sun), but it was nice to see my cousins. We spent most of the time boating on Lake Mead and exploring the Hoover Dam. There's more to Vegas than the casinos.

I haven't been to Dubai but my friend's daughter moved there when she got married. She's a businesswoman and she became a kazillionaire very quickly. The pictures were beautiful.
