I visited Las Vegas about 20 years ago. Till today, it was the most amazing city I have visited.
I travelled to Las Vegas by road. It was really a city in the middle of the desert. I could imagine that everything had to be 'imported' and 'transported' to this city to make it habitable.
Never before had I seen a city so beautiful. I was there on vacation, so the 24-hours entertainment and service at the hotels really impressed me. The all-u-can-eat-buffet spreads costing just US$5.99 made me feel life was happy and relax all the time.
I was amazed that here was a city that could camouflage gambling, a 'sin industry', into something so enjoyable. Here, gambling is not evil. It is honourable. It provides livelihood. It makes the world and makes life beautiful.
I guess this is another irony of life. The 'bad' can do 'good' . The 'good' can look 'bad'. The evil can be worshipped as gods. And sometimes the righteous suffers the most.
Las Vegas is amazing ! It's prosperity and success challenge our views of good and evil.
Interesting.
