Turn on the Lights

Exhausted, we arrived into the overwhelming stimulation of Las Vegas, greeted with lights and more lights and more lights. 

Quickly, I realized I may not quite fit into the prototype of visitors to this city. Okay, so my outlook on Vegas is probably influenced by my parents' presence, but still...I lacked what appeared to be the Vegas uniform:
Females: knee high boots or heeled sandals, shorts, and a must -- any form of animal print.
Males: sports jacket with a button up and jeans, OR muscle v-neck and drink in hand (which I thought existed exclusively in Jersey). 

Generalizations aside, I think Vegas is best taken in small doses. One or two days being enough. If I had to plan a quick Vegas trip for someone, I would suggest: 


1. A night run on the strip


2. A show 


3. Going to look around the casinos


4. A night on the OLD strip
