In praise of Vegas:
- Beautiful excess
- Great buffets
- Friendly folks
- Alternate society and universe
- High energy and tempo
But isn’t Vegas “fake”?
Vegas is authentically Vegas. You don’t watch porn to see a “real”sexual act. We delight in the extreme and strange.
Extreme condensation and compression
What is fascinating:
You attempt to take the essence of a place and condense it into the most compact experience.
Going to Venice
It’s hilarious having been to the “real”place and the recreated space in Vegas. For example, I’m actually quite impressed with the Venetian and how it got the Venice architecture and vibes. It’s almost as if the human will is giving a middle finger to reality and what’s possible.
