  • Las Vegas Ranking!

    I would like to say that when it comes to Vegas yes their is a lot to do and see, but that's where I draw the line. The education out here is a joke so they nailed it on the head when they gave them a low mark on that. I moved here in 2008 and my fiance is a teacher here.

I can play gold in January, make a bet on a football game (legally), dine at world class restaurants 7 days a week often without reservations, be from my home to just about any top show in the city in an hour (try that in NYC). I have somehting to do 24 hours a day. My wife (non-gambler) loves the city more than I do. The only bad thing about LV was when the city was gr... More
