So I just entered Nevada for the first time ever. Some impressions.
1. Damn, I knew Vegas had all the lights and glitz, but almost every single hotel gives off that vibe, even 60+ miles out. Very flashy and lit up.
Yep. You get used to it.
2. Carls Jr seems more prevalent than McDonalds.
Huh? I can only think of two Carls Jr. locations in the entire city off the top of my head, and you probably passed both of them. McDonalds, meanwhile...
3. I love how these little towns pop up out of no where in the night. Population is always like 500-600 and you can't even see anything besides fast food joints and gas stations. Where do they live?
I've wondered the same thing!! Driving northwest out of Vegas heading either for California or upstate Nevada is... a learning experience in rural living.
4. The Vegas suburbs look very uniform and boring. Even out here they are dullsvilles.
Oh, you don't even know. Assuming you only saw I-15 and downtown for a bit, you didn't really see anything. Take a look at Mountains Edge next time you're here, and you can't help but hum 'Little Boxes' quietly to yourself.
5. Did the city planners have an electric ancient Rome in mind?
More like Sodom.
