In Las Vegas, the sky’s the limit. A century ago the city did not even exist. Today, in the middle of the Mojave Desert, between the Grand Canyon and Death Valley, there lies the world’s largest entertainments park. Pierre Brouwers shows us the extent to which this is a city of excess, both out of time and out of the ordinary. Fabulous. But what lies behind this ocean of dollars, these little white chapels where Elvis look-alikes wed couples one after the other, these world-beating giant hotel-casinos? Over and above the whirl of Sin City, Pierre Brouwers gives us a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes… in a film that beggars the question: mirage or reality? -

Was just there Thanksgiving 2018 and stayed at the Venetian. Our Belle Suite with an outdoor terrace was THE best hotel room we've ever stayed in hands down. Worth every penny and we will book it again this spring. Security keeps out anyone not staying in this part of the resort. Very quiet. Best part is. We came home with cash!

The more you gamble, the greater the likelihood that you will lose whatever winnings you got in the short term. Hopefully, you will have enough fun to make your losses worth it.

Mirage in the desert. Good description. Not just people who go to play the slots etc., not just the people who live and work there like any other city, not just the appearance of an abundance of water, not just the neon and glitz and fantasy - it has turned into a mirage for some of the people who were sure they could open a hotel / casino. Las Vegas is a business of fantasy creation, entertainment, food, luxury for a week, vacation, and the video brings that out really well. The heart of it is business, commerce, production and delivery of products and services - kind of like canned foods (haha).

Las Vegas is fun for a couple of days and then...yuck! It is really the worst of American kitsch--with the possible exception of Branson, Missouri. It's a good place to party, gamble, get laid, go to a crappy show or get married--or divorced. Oh, and to get murdered in a mass-shooting. The best thing about Vegas though is that it's within a few hours drive of some of the most spectacular natural sights in the world: the Grand Canyon and the magnificent national parks of southern Utah. That would be the reason to visit in my opinion, forget everything else.
