Now that the remaining screens at adults and disobedient children, we can begin our story about Vegas. I know-I know we said that all keep a secret, but the thirst for fame and numerous requests made weather.
As we were in Vegas? In fact, here come all the tourists who are more or less seriously travelers States. Las Vegas — a city-brand, one of the most famous and nayrozreklamovanishyh settlements in the Americas. If you ask ordinary Americans that he would advise the city to visit, it is likely that it will be, the most romantic city in the world Milwaukee Cheyenne Plains charming city, garden city Kirovograd and Sin City Las Vegas.
But it is, to remove the eye. The main purpose of our visit was business. We planned to invest $ 25 in slot machines and … make a million! The business plan was decorated to the smallest detail. Nothing boded trouble.
Vegas night from afar. From where we allowed ourselves to housing, according to the business plan.

Las Vegas — night city entirely. Night lighting beautiful and magical mask its dullness and emptiness. So if in the morning you muchytyme famous hangover in Vegas, do not leave the hotel, nothing interesting you still can not see. Better go to a bar, wait for the evening.
3At first we thought that the city — just a casino and hotel, scattered it evenly. And it turned out that the main facilities are located on two streets: Fremont Street (old / first casino) and part of the Las Vegas Strip called. In addition, the Strip belong to the suburbs of Paradise and Winchester and officially is not part of Las Vegas.
The rest of the city is as follows:
4Gambling in Nevada allowed only in the 30s of the twentieth century, and this time Las Vegas was a sleepy godforsaken town in the Mojave Desert. Even the name, which translates from Spanish as «the meadows», sounded like mockery. But the city grew, built a dam and the landscape has changed.
Man winning nature and the desert turned green lawns. But now in the state there are restrictions on water use, and the level of Lake Mead sank to historic lows.

If you want to know more about the city, read its press. Well, that box with free newspapers long search is not necessary. Local newspapers meet the advertised image of the city — a thick anthologies of prostitutes for every taste and color … Surprised by the fact that, contrary to the American tradition, the newspapers did not have coupon codes.
7Although, through these publications can be found and decent girls. For example, a student of private schools, nurses, police.
8In reality, the issue confusing than it sounds. Nevada is known for being the only state where prostitution is legalized. But the law allows hvoyduvaty only in districts with a population of less than 400,000 people. So, the logical question, what do we offer? Normal supply a monastery.
When you call a number from the directory, the guests will get the girl (perhaps from a distance at night and remind stolen from photographs), along with it will be 1-2 guard who will take with you the money and go away. The girl just in front of you will dance … and everything. Extortion has something more is punishable by law. Unless you were in Egypt and deftly able haggle.
Legal brothels are located outside of Las Vegas. A huge number of brothels based in ghost towns, old mining settlements scattered desert. Center of wrinkle is considered Carson City. Mom, this friend told us all :)
9The first casino today. Unfortunately, we did not mention his name. But there obviously went through a magic leprechaun at the entrance. Generally, something interesting at the entrance — one of the main methods of struggle with competitors. Inside the casino all similar, so the battle for the customer is deployed on the streets.
10
If you do not like to give savings soulless machine, it can lose them in a fun company at the table.
12
The first reaction to all this has predictably defensive character. «I will not play, I’m not a fool, lose their money. Longer, well, except that 5 dollars, it’s a penny. »
14As you understand, resist and not to play — is impossible. So we went to the cash register … Why register? Because you can not just pop in and take the money in the machine, he must know that you already have 18, and it is for nothing.
15While brother earns first million, we have a few seconds to talk about the necklace. Beads waiters signals that the visitor is already 21 and can choke officially green snake. Often casinos offer thanks for the drink to whet your passion. Not stverdzhuvatymemo that offer some shit everywhere, but in this casino this was it.
16By law, meanness million won guy at the next machine. A few minutes we merged all of our 25-dollar investment.
17The business plan was a fiasco. On the other hand, nothing prevents now continue the tour. Investors still do not read our blog.
18But the trouble never comes alone, we drove to sesuriti and warned that the casino zas pictures. Pff found visitors. For such cases we have worked out a clear mechanism must pretend Fool — «know Inglish, Rushen pliz.» Usually in this case, are asked to stand still and run a search Ostarbeiteren-interpreter. It happened this time, and we went a photograph on.
19
Bones (craps) seemed to us the most interesting game. Bricks thrown themselves players have at least some sense of justice.
23Finally the guards came back with an interpreter. For it was evident that he speaks Russian. We tried to extend our history, they say, we — the Ukrainian, by the discrimination that not all speak Russian Slavs! But clear protection where the wind is blowing, so we politely asked to leave. The last photo of this casino.
24Fortunately, there are 120 Vegas casino and we just went to a nearby. Automatic you’ve seen. Queue tote.
25From the side it seems that men gathered just look at the sport of beer. Only each with its own TV.
26Actually, you can watch basketball and home, and put the money through the Internet. But the main thing — the atmosphere, and the wife will not send out the garbage at the break.
Incidentally, an interesting fact in Las Vegas, there is no team represented in the major sports leagues USA. The main reason — fear that a professional team of game industry will be strong competition in the long fight for the dollar. Another reason — Las Vegas sports betting allowed, and this causes concern lay leaders.
27
As we have said, the 120 casinos in Vegas and to attract customer’s attention, you need to constantly invent something. Okosudomna architecture — the first thing that attracts naive tourist, I want to go look closer, and then he has released to the affected area to other trick.
29Some behave on drywall Colosseum Casino Caesars Palace Las Vegas, and someone dearer dwarf the Eiffel Tower Casino Paris Las Vegas Hotel Casino.
30Another course — is to buy the world’s largest gold nugget and make it a talisman casino. «The hand of fate» weighing 27.2 kg in hotel casinos Golden Nugget.
31After a photo with a gold cobblestones can relax by the pool, looking at all sorts of sea monsters.
32The casino Monte Carlo Resort & Casino not merged with nuggets and architecture. So they just zasklyly 1000000 dollars, which can be photographed anyone. The idea is simple and brilliant.
33Come on. Another popular method of catching the customer — a bright neon signs. Afternoon them no good, but at night the effect is impressive. Fed by tourists flying to the light like mosquitoes.
34
It is not depressed, back to the Strip. The next entertainment complex — Luxor Las Vegas. His subjects — Ancient Egypt seduces the most powerful beam in the world. In Las Vegas in nearly every major casino is something most of the world, or at least in the US. Without it, people will not go.
37The original pyramid of Cheops and the Sphinx are not in Luxor and Giza, but casino owners have not given up a brilliant name for some trifle.
38
Next magnificent facade — New York-New York Hotel & Casino. Why New York twice? As Frank Sinatra sang so. As conceived by architects, building complex resembles a miniature Manhattan, with its skyscrapers and major attractions. At the still tiny Statue of Liberty.
40If it happened that the building of the hotel-casino just is not impressive, it is possible to dig a 400-meter lake, and it set the singing fountains. Thus Bellagio secured the title as a hotel-casino with the most fountains. And this is something, therefore we must look.
Day Casino has inconspicuous appearance against the background of neighbors, even thought we did not teach his photographs. Although Bellagio, probably the most famous Vegas casino. We it is known for the films «Eleven / Ocean’s Thirteen,» «Time Rush 2», «The Hangover,» «Once in Vegas,» and so on.
41
Another cunning marketing move, learn to master Trump. If your casino is located on the outskirts, just zaskly facade gold glass tiles.
45Together we visited the new part of Vegas on the Strip. Now will go to downtown on Fremont Street. This is where the first casino and feel well until the 90s did not come to Vegas corporations. Most tourists since prefer the mega-complex on the Strip, and casinos have an old lure customers in all possible ways. Now we will consider them.
46Win-win at all times — topless dancer at a bar. Guardian schodvihodyny change to avoid mental strain.
47Further, the initial rates in Fremont lower than in the casinos on the strip. In the bars Fremont to buy cheap alcohol (real hit — a Margarita for 99 cents). Another good find — a volumetric flask of plastic, they can take a drink with him and drink outside. You might think, what kind of bulb to me, it’s a city of vice, here I can drink on the street right out of the bottle. It seems so, but not so. Whatever freedom you do not advertise, you know, any freedom is always subject to corporate laws.
So with drinking alcohol. Within the city are allowed to hold an open container of alcohol if the institution where you bought a drink, can leave the room with him and drink is not in a metal or glass container. Therefore, no beer cans, only plastic flask.
48
Thanks to these tweaks local casino is not empty, though, contingent sometimes very original.
Among the other attractions Fremont Street — a huge screen in the shape of a dome. Length dome — 460 meters, it covers the whole street. On-placed dome 12500000 LED displays, a system developed and sponsored company LG Electronics.
50
This probably can close the topic of casinos. But we did not close the thread Vegas. There is still something to do. If you are interested in the question, which disappeared David Copperfield and a group of Blue Man Group, or are they good? So do not worry, they are here in Vegas. In good health every day give concerts.
Besides them there are a lot of different shows and concerts, including the famous Cirque du Soleil. Specifically some of its affiliate serving every evening. Prices of variety, something interesting will cost money, we went on that enough.
54Was mixture and tricks stendap. First brother secretly photographed, but then, intoxicated with impunity, set the flash. Unlike casinos, the effect was the opposite, we are not out.
55For those who went to Vegas on a hot ticket and took money on souvenirs, we made a small selection of free entertainment. For example, you can take pictures on a machine, a photo and send yourself an e-mail.
56
So, no money in Vegas is nothing to do. Without money — is probably one of the most boring places on Earth. In the city that invented to make money, nothing is free. Of course you can see the beautiful buildings and lights, but no money is you quickly get bored. Although, I say, with money everywhere interesting.
You say it every fallen angel.
61
Well, finally we must make some philosophical conclusion about the city of debauchery and vice.
Vegas — a campaign Friday as a bar. If you have the money, the company, the desire to hang out and free time — you can relax. But remember, in the most unpleasant Friday evening — a Saturday morning fun pass, headache, and his wife said that you promised to go to Tiffany’s on pancakes.
If on Friday night you look like «Dancing with the Stars,» do not go in the bar.
