Re: The Brits dont like Vegas...


Old Boy concluded: "Vegas might well be the ultimate symbol of our
out-of-control consumer culture. You arrive, you spend, and you don't
even need to worry about cluttering up your life with unwanted consumer
goods, because you haven't actually bought anything.
If you want to see the human race plunge off a cliff, take a holiday in
Las Vegas."

His points seem to be:

Las Vegas is hideously expensive.

Much of what you spend money on leaves nothing to show for it but a
memory.

Why are all these people smiling?
