I'd love to go to America one day. The only thing that puts me off is that it's full of Americans.
Isn’t Adele doing a residency in Las Vegas?
Must admit that places like Vegas and Miami are high on the list of places I'd never want to visit.Would love to go to Chicago, New Orleans and San Francisco. Could pop to all 3 on a day trip...
As someone who has spent a bit of time there (in fact created this account there 15 years ago), my opinion is is somewhere in the middle. I do gamble (poker), so I personally love that side of it (the fake skill games like blackjack do nothing for me personally though).I would say it’s pretty good for 3 days - as others have said there’s loads of stuff to see and do, including some surprising stuff like Red Rock canyon. The scenery is immense in scale basically any direction 10 miles out of Vegas. But I would have it behind New York, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, Austin, even Seattle and Boston as a destination for someone who hasn’t been to the US, unless they really like pool parties and strippers.Also (not having a go at the poster above particularly, I think this is fairly common) it’s still amazing to me how people can say “I would love America if not for the Americans” in a way they wouldnt dream of saying about say Spain or India or Nigeria or anywhere else. Like anywhere there are twats, but there are also some of the kindest, warmest, most reasonable people I’ve ever met.
An American said to me that as long as you avoid California then Americans are lovely . Bit like the UK and London.
