Surrounding Mountains
by mcpangie
I lived in the Vegas area many years ago, so I remember when Las Vegas was a small city in a broad valley. Now, it fills that valley for the most part. 250,000 to 1.7 million in population in the last 30 years. But the surrounding mountains haven't changed. These mountains are just north of Las Vegas on highway 95. I just love the fun patterns in the rocks. It is one memory that I keep. Everytime I travel near Vegas I'm watching the mountains nearby.
The inhabitants of Las Vegas...

The inhabitants of Las Vegas are all very friendly and make jokes. I liked that. We stayed almost the whole night, because when you are on the strip, even if you do not gamble you enjoy this fairy tale! Everything that is so glittery, that is does not like real. For one night (or more) you think life on earth is just fun, music, dancing and drinking.
But the next morning you remember the naked truth. For me specially it was a great coming back to earth, because I was partying on the 10th september and we all know what happened the next day. So you see, go there and forget your sorrow in Las Vegas.

The place is always going 24 hours a day. If you like people
watching this is the place to go. My fondest memory was the day I spent in Death Valley. The
temperature was 118 degress but it was 'cool'.

Do Casinos Cheat?
by SteveOSF
Many visitors to Nevada often wonder if casinos cheat. With the games rigged in their favor casinos really have no need to cheat (as long as they have enough customers and they can afford periodic losses at stakes offered.) In fact, the corporations that own the casinos have a huge investment in their properties and gaming licenses and are not likely to risk loosing either by getting caught cheating even to a very high roller.
The smaller joints may have less incentive as they have less to loose if they got caught. However, even the small joints would not want to loose their gaming license. Nevertheless, it may be best to stick to the larger clubs if you are a very high roller.
One type of cheating by a casino staff person, like a dealer, is to make an accomplice win money that will be divided up later. In order for their table not to show a loss and alert casino management, they would cheat other customers so their table has a net win. But casino surveillance, with their ever watching eye-in-the-sky, is always watchful to spot this behavior. If such business is discovered, it would be stopped and the culprits would be arrested and prosecuted.
So is it highly unlikely that a casino would cheat you. But if you suspect something funny is going on, just stop and play elsewhere just in case. That way, you don’t need to worry and can concentrate on your game.
