The City that Welcomes Everyone!
When people hear of the place Las Vegas they think of hardcore partying and gambling.
(I am not going to lie and say that when I go to Las Vegas I don't go out to enjoy the nightlight and gamble.)
I have visited 6 times and have a trip planned for October 27th-30th this year so for my younger brother's 21st birthday. There are so many enjoyable aspects to LasVegas that make this city my favorite place to visit. You can see a variety of shows from very talented performers. You can zip line down Fremont Street. You can dine in diverse restaurants with cuisines from around the world by top chefs. BUT the city has even more to offer, a cultural experience. While I have never traveled outside of the United States when I have been in Las Vegas I have met many different people from other countries. I was astonished to meet a couple from Finland on my first trip as an adult to Las Vegas. After that moment as we met different people around Las Vegas, we began to inquire where the people were from. It is amazing to learn about countries and cultures from people who are actually from that country. Las Vegas is a great city to learn about other countries when you can't actually travel outside of the United States.

I have actually never been to Las Vegas, Ashley... but there are so many movies that I like which are set in Vegas (like the Ocean's movies), so I feel kind of like I have been there, ha ha. Maybe you can write a Vegas-themed story after your October trip. That sounds like fun... and the perfect city in which to celebrate someone's 21st birthday!
