Vegas part 4 Sin City, indeed

Whoa. There is a reason that they call Las Vegas "Sin City". Just imagine any type of vice, and you'll find it there - publicly on display. Gambling? Sure. Smoking? Everywhere. Alcoholics? Walking beside you. Drugs? On every corner. Sex and Prostitution? In Spades. All that and more. It's a great city to be in, but it is also depressing at the same time. To see so many people just desperate for an escape from their lives... grasping at the straws that Vegas gives them - whatever they may be. While this is going on, Casinos are being built on every available piece of property so that businessmen and women can capitalize on an Adult's dreams of escapism. It's somewhat depressing.

There are magazine racks every 100 feet or so advertising escorts and prostitution, and at night, people are at every street corner trying to force you to take an escort's ad. Being in Vegas puts a perspective on the perverse nature of the average adult, and it makes you wonder, why do people wallow in depravity when there is meaning for their lives elsewhere? If only someone would tell them...
