I wasn’t expecting to like my trip to Vegas, because I don’t gamble. However, I underestimated the culture. I think I paid $20 to see a Picasso, Warhol, Van Gogh, Monet, Manet & many others. It was so different than just looking at posters. For instance, Van Gogh’s paintings were so thick with paint that it was hard to tell what the painting was close up, it was best viewed across the room. I never thought I would get to see all this because I couldn’t make it to Europe, but I now feel like I have seen more great art than a lot of people will see in their entire lifetime. There are always lots of cool art exhibits to go too. Plus, I got to take my picture in front of the New York Skyline & the Eiffel Tower, without living the city.
It’s also interesting to me how the styles of homes change depending on location. For instance, in Utah there are a lot of rock or log homes with green tin roofs. Las Vegas homes seem to have a lot of stucco & red tile roofs. This is exactly the kind of home that I have always wanted to live in, but we just don’t have them in Utah, even though technically we are in the desert. So there is tons to see in Vegas, if you can go visit, go visit, if you can go live, go live on a fabulous piece of Las Vegas real estate.
