So I’m just settling back down at home after our whirlwind trip to Vegas to meet and take home the newest Zwerling family member, Levi. While I will always think fondly of Las Vegas as the birthplace of my 2nd child/son (and some of my favorite Cirque du Soleil shows), the city has more than it’s fair share of annoyances. And since Christine will just tell me to blog about is so she doesn’t have to hear about it, you the reader will have to bear with my venting.
You can try to sing The Sound of Music’s ‘My Favorite Things’ to this, but I make no guarantees that it will actually sound right. So here are my Top 8 Things That Annoyed Me About Las Vegas (I was aiming for 10, but mind is getting too mushy tonight to think of 2 more):
| 8: | Tourists & Jaywalkers not watching where they’re going and move slowly doing it…I’ll be nice & blame it on the heat. |
| 7: | Gambling where you least expect it…seriously, does the local supermarket & McDonalds need video poker and slot machines?! |
| 6: | People that have lawns…it’s a desert people, that water your wasting on the greenery could be used for better uses…like more fountains like at Bellagio. (psst…that was sarcasm btw) |
| 5: | What’s worse than people with lawns?! People that water their lawns in the middle of the day! I kid you not…at the condo complex we stayed at, the sprinklers were on at 11AM when they temperature was already over 95. |
| 4: | The overbearing dry air…I won’t even get into what it did to my sinuses & hair. |
| 3: | Road construction zones with no warning signs beforehand to allow sensible land merging. |
| 2: | Lack of any kind of organized recycling program. Every time I threw out a bottle I felt guilty; with as much waste as Las Vegas has I’m shocked at their eco-gluttony. |
| 1: | The Fraking 110+ degree heat!!! |
No sirree bob, while I won’t mind visiting Las Vegas to see Levi’s birth family or check out the latest Cirque show, you will not catch me there any time soon.
Good night everybody!
