I noticed the different culture, including the liquor laws allowing open alcohol on the streets.

It's also interesting that in nearby counties, prostitution has never been illegal.

Also when I used to go to Las Vegas pawn shops to find CDs unreleased in Canada, I was surprised to see the shop owners wearing guns in holsters and displaying shotguns within arm's length of the cash registers.

It is really more of a party city. Nothing ever stops and most people never sleep. I too have never seen people just walking down the street with bottles of bud.

I didn't know that you can walk around with an open bottle. Cool!

My first time in Vegas I stayed up all night~ I wouldn't recommend this to anyone especially if you have to attend meetings the next day.:w00t:

Now I didn't know that. This is the first time I heard this.

I guess it never occurred to me to take a drink with me. I always assumed that you had to finish it before leaving the casino!

Do you think they did that because they didn't know what time it was and had no "sun clues" to trigger fatigue, or do you think they were addicts who couldn't pull themselves away?

I guess for me it was the seeming non-stop action, especially inside the casino halls. Everywhere was this buzz of activity and seeming electriciy in the air.

When I first visited Vegas I had no clue that the casino were open 24/7, but the real shock was that there was no "last call for alcohol"!

Luckily, I am not a big drinker. You could really hurt yourself!

So what was your "epiphany"?

:P
