Blogging Vegas
Posted by Chris Knudsen on January 22nd, 2007
I just landed in Sodom and Gomorrah - at least the weather is nice.
Here are ten quick observations about Las Vegas:
- “sober” is a swear word here
- Everybody smokes.
- My taxi had more advertising on it than ah…humm…well…a Las Vegas taxi.
- The buffet at the Paris is still there and is as good as ever.
- The $1.2 billion Wynn Casino is beautiful. This great and spacious building almost looks like it floats without a foundation.
- People sitting at the slot machines are the most depressed looking people I have ever seen in my whole life.
- Carrot Top has a show here. That’s proof anyone can make it in show biz.
- The billboards make me blush
- A 24 oz bottle of water in my hotel room costs $4. A pancake, bacon and sausage breakfast at the Barbary Coast costs $3.75.Â
- The end is near
At least I can still watch 24 tonight. I can’t wait to go home tomorrow. The more I travel the more I appreciate Utah.
If you think your visit was bad, you ought to live here.

I totally agree. I laugh, because as a freshman at BYU I was one of those “California Mormons” that always bashed Utah (and “Utards”), and couldn’t wait to leave. Now I love it.
At least I can still watch 24 tonight.

So Jack’s brother is the conspiracy guy that helped Logan last season? Whoa, didn’t see that coming…

I think there was a group of faithful saints who lived in Sodom and Gomorrah who were killed when God destroyed the city.
I’d advice her to move.
Left by Chris Knudsen on 01/23/2007Dude! If Vegas is what is making you think that the end is near, you haven’t been using your Internet connection to its fullest capacity. Las Vegas is Disney, honey. DISNEY…
Left by Laura Moncur on 01/23/2007Would the Wynn be just as beautiful if it had cost $10 million to build instead of the actual $2.5 billion? Would it be just as beautiful if the rooms cost $50 a night instead of $500?
Paying $500 a night for a hotel room seems more depressing than slot machines.
God said He would save Sodom and Gomorrah for the sake of one Godly person.
Las Vegas is only evil to those who are evil. It is a metro area with 2 million residents who hardly care about the strip.
