"Vegas was the designated area for all of societies vices. It was actually a really clever way of handling bad behavior in a society. Like, you shouldnt want to fuck prostitutes or gamble. But we know you probably will. So, fine, if you really gotta do it then go here and do it."
"Everyone knows they are quickly running out of water anyway and every summer is somehow getting even hotter, but it looks like greed might kill it before mother nature does. We used to go all the time when I was a kid, mainly because we could get 2 hotel rooms for $100/night."

"It uses pastiche to combine iconic New York elements and basically regurgitates them into a one-block area. Every visual asset is rendered just enough to evoke a sense of familiarity and place, but not without an uncanny overtone. Everything was "off". Reminded me of New Orleans Square in Disneyland"
