Walking through the dream city of vegas where millions come to spend and/or earn /loose millions just in a matter of hours made me wonder as to what goes on in these complex gray cells of mankind and why does he doggedly pursue that slot machine or the roulette till he tires out.Couples, young and old,single lady and retired folks all trying their luck in the recessionary times at all odd hours with the free drink bait hanging around the neck and the dazed look, with Havanna cigar smell in the backdrop and pretty waitresses out to charm you to shell out more.The dazzle, the stretch hummers,the dancing fountains ,impressive high rise and Eiffel tower in the backdrop simply made to ensure that one feels he has moved around the globe while he actually moves around the vegas strip blowing away his hard earned money which he could have spent seeing the original versions.The night life that starts @1900 hrs is wild and happening till the early hours of the morning and then its all peaceful and sedate.Criss crossing the heavenly Caesars palace,striding across the flamingo and watching the volcano erupt or gliding across the venetian that gives you a virtual tour of Venice in a gondola is enjoyable.But every escalator you take or move over the foot bridge you land up in a CASINO.The glitz and glamor is exciting no doubt but the side effects would be more disastrous.When you see the morning Vegas you find the same people who work in these casinos are up on the terrace playing poker.The tired , sleepy guys still sitting in front of the slot machines hoping that lady luck smiles on them.When it doesn't you become desperate and try other means to get it.If it does its such an awesome moment that you plunge in more deeper and get sucked in the vortex of Alice in Vegasland.You seldom win but definitely make the casinos richer for sure.You come back with vengeance and ensure that you will win one day----some day.Booze in your bowels,sleep on your eyes,tired limbs, empty wallets and maybe someone waiting for you back home..........is that Vegas?.The greed and the never ending appetite for more money will only lead to more such fairylands.Macau is calling and one can have a peep there as well.East or west CASINO is the best.In this fast paced world people want quick money and this is one way out.I disagree and hope people gauge the flip side and use these as a fun entertainment hub rather than an ADDICTION.Go off the strip and LO! is this Vegas too???The fastest place to get married and divorced overnight as well i presume.Isn't that a joke!!Big business though.Largest TV screen in the world a bit away from the strip is entertaining but there too ...........CASINO's galore.In this big business of hard core marketing west coast is definitely making money out of every inch of land and every crazy idea that sells.JAI HO.
