I was supposed to go to Vegas today for my friends bachelor party. I hate Vegas. It’s going to be 90° AT NIGHT and hit 116°. I hate the smell of cigarettes. I hate the constant ringing of slot machines. I hate strip clubs. I hate the “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” because that is no basis for an ethos.

Spirit cancelled my flight for no reason, rescheduled it for tomorrow, and gave me $24 in food vouchers. Fuck if I know why.

Spirit Airlines: Task Failed Successfully

    Edit: I just looked up the weather, and yeah, what I’m saying here does go for July and August, I guess. You’re a good friend.

    If you wake up before your friends and want to breathe fresh air, Red Rock canyon is beautiful and if you don’t want to go through getting a ticket for it (it’s restricted so it doesn’t overcrowd), there are walks nearby that are 90% as beautiful. Go in the morning, be out by 10am, most of the year you’ll be fine. If you’re a birder, the wetlands, out Tropicana I think, are wonderful, again you have to go early in the morning to avoid the heat because here there’s no canyon and few big trees. Las Vegas is a normal town beyond the strip and many hidden gems in the desert around it.

    I agree the casinos are just a weirdly in-your-face kind of awful all around, even the ones that tried to go classy in the 90s. But people who live out there have found other things to enjoy.
