Ahh, Las Vegas, the one city on the planet where its considered normal to stay up all night and sleep during the day, if at all.  Yes, its true, the city that never sleeps actually never sleeps.  I almost wonder why anyone bothers getting a hotel room when they come in to Las Vegas for a weekend.  Las Vegas entertainment can make you forget that you ever wanted to sleep in the first place.   One of my favorite forms of Las Vegas entertainment is of course gambling.  I have the right combination of obsessive compulsiveness and stupidity to make for a serious gambling addict if I’m not careful.  While hitting up the poker rooms or black jack tables is a great form of Las Vegas entertainment, watch yourself!  They give out those drinks for a reason, and its easy to blow through a lot of money really fast.  Gambling can quickly go from Las Vegas entertainment to Las Vegas nightmare in just a few moments.  Generally, I go into any games assuming the money I’m betting with is already lost, and just try to have fun. Another idea of Las Vegas entertainment is of course the shows.  There are some great venues in the area, and there’s almost always a good concert to catch on any given weekend.  Las Vegas has always been a major center for entertainment, as it tends to bring in large crowds who will then wander around gambling when the show is over.  Pretty much every form of Las Vegas entertainment is really just a ploy to get you to come gamble if you think about it, but I find it’s better not to think about it. If you’re looking for some wilder ideas on Las Vegas entertainment, I recommend picking up a copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and reading it.  As Hunter S. Thompson’s one classic novel, it serves as an inspirational guide to Las Vegas entertainment and also happens to be a fine piece of literature.  Of course, the kinds of Las Vegas entertainment you might be tempted to try after reading his book will probably get you arrested and thrown in jail for several years, but maybe that’s just part of the Las Vegas experience? Las Vegas entertainment of a more sane and legal variety takes many different forms, and its part of the fun to stumble through the city discovering them all.
