Your a bad example of someone from CA. Do you ever think of where Las Vegas gets its gamblers from? Most locals don't even touch the strip. CA as a whole gambles way more than the state of NV. There is gambling in CA! (lots of indian casinos).
I'm from CA and its a nice place but not everyone can afford to live there anymore. If you make good money you can get by, but if you can't afford to buy property you get killed in income taxes.
Sounds like you enjoy Las Vegas but you have a stigma of looking down at people. Not everyone is fortunate as you are. If your an affulent educated person from the Golden State I would advise you to use proper forum gramar. It doesn't make you look so smart
I DON'T PLAY SLOTS, OR THE TABLE GAMES. I ENJOY HORSE RACING. IF IT WAS'NT FOR ALL THE CALIFORNIA VISITORS COMING TO VEGAS HELPING ITS ECONOMY AND BUILDING VEGAS UP TO WHAT IT HAS BECOME A FUN ADULT ENTERTAINMENT MECCA THAT IS NOW A INTERNATIONAL TOURIST DESTINATION. BUT HAVING TO LIVE & FOR A CHILD HAVING TO GROW UP IN THAT ENVIRNMENT MUST BE HARD TO DEAL WITH. MY BRIEF TIME THERE TAUGHT ME THAT MUCH.THERE ARE MANY BLOGS WORSE THEN MINE BUT THE TRUTH HURTS. ITS EASY FOR YOU TO SLAM CALIFORNIA WHICH HAS BEAUTIFUL AREAS LIKE MALIBU, SANTA BARBARA, MONTEREY, SAN FRANCISCO, SONOMA AND NAPA VALLEY BUT ALL YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ARE THE GHETTOS IN SOUTH & EAST L.A. I LIVE IN SANTA MONICA WHICH IS ON THE WEST SIDE.WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MARINA DEL REY, BRENTWOOD, BEVERLY HILLS WEST HOOLYWOOD. I SAW A DIFFERENT SIDE TO VEGAS FROM WHEN I JUST VISITED AND STAYED IN A HOTEL ON STRIP TO LIVING THERE. I SAW RESENTFUL PEOPLE. EVEN MANY EX CALIFORNIA PEOPLE WHO HAD MOVED THERE WHO DON'T LIKE IT AND COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN , COMPLAIN. I DID'T LIKE THE VIBE AND WE WERE NOT THERE THAT MUCH BECAUSE WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE IN VEGAS AS A INVESTMENT. SOMETHING TOLD ME TO SELL LAST YEAR. THANKFULLY BECAUSE THE VEGAS HOUSING MARKET HAS NOW DROPPED. BUT THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME FOR SOME TO MAKE ANOTHER INVESTMENT.UMMMMM. GOOD LUCK I HOPE YOU WIN A MINT.

ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE. THE ONES GOING TOWARDS SAN DIEGO SEEM TO BE MORE WELL KNOWN.

a) please stop w/ the all caps. it is bad form, hard to read, and considered by some to be rude.
b) you realize that you are comparing the state of CA to the city of las vegas? your other points aside, this is a ridiculous comparison. i don't think anyone here disputes that CA has many beautiful places. what is being disputed is your claim that LV is a wasteland.
that and your elitist attitude...

what kinda crap is that? oh noes...poor looking white people and black people..together...shopping at TJs. what ever shall we do. why'd you tell us you were irish? cause you know...they have poor white people in ireland (as well as black people)..in fact, back in the day, many of the irish poor immigrated to the US (including a chunk of my relatives). you are giving their legacy a bad name.
oh yeah...last time i checked, venice was in west LA (hint...just south of you)....i love venice, for many of the same reasons i love LV....but if vegas disturbs you, maybe you should stay away (there are poor, homeless people there...some of them angry! some on drugs/drunk! heaven help us!) and watch out! there are black people down there also .
BEING BITTER IS NOT GOOD . SO YOU DON'T GO TO THE MOVIES. THATS A POSITIVE THING, I WENT TO A MOVIE WHEN I VISITED NEW YORK. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THAT. I'M ONE PERSON .I'M NOT DONALD TRUMP AND I'M SURE NOT THE REASON FOR THE PROPERTY VALUES GOING DOWN. YOU HAVE A BITTER RESENTMENT ABOUT CALIFORNIA. AND ALOT OF LOCAL PEOPLE OFF THE STRIP SMOKE TOO MUCH

ALL CAPS is considered shouting and is impolite...you don't mind that do you.
I believe you. You made money at the expense of screwing the local who had the unforunate opportunity to buy your over inflated property thereby taking themselves to foreclosure and/or bankruptcy and screwing up their lives for the next 10 years. But hell..screwing a local Las Vegan is fun...and pays well. And they live in that awful place and should pay for the privelege. You Californians are not going to worry about screwing some local...so what there kids can't go to college...not my fault.
You are kidding right? The vast majority of us don't smoke, drink excessively, go to buffets or game very much. That is for tourists.
So given we don't do any of that you are putting us down. Guess because you are one of the poor insecure Californians who lucked into a lilttle money and can't deal with it.
It is really hard to write in response to someone who is, at best, semi-literate. Please it is "negative" it is "bored" Get a spell checker.
California has places where outside activity works well. It also has many where it does not. On balance it offers less than Las Vegas in its metro areas.
You are so boring this is all pointless. Why would anyone come to Las Vegas to go to a "movie". You got to be kidding. I am sure you enjoy stepping over the bodies of the homeless on third street. And the Santa Anita races...my my what a thrill.
Why don't you stay home and make both you and us happy?
tina, althoug I think you are a bit angry, you make a great point:
"YOU HAVE A BITTER RESENTMENT ABOUT CALIFORNIA."
You're right. It seems to be widely acceptable to attack California or New York, or wherever, without impunity here. Just don't say anything bad about Las Vegas. I think it makes people feel better when they can say, "hey, this isn't bad, not when compared to..." You're fighting an uphill battle, especially with your lack of tact. You can't come into a place and start ranting like an out of control child. It will get you nowhere. No one cares what your point is, instead your posts will be cherry-picked until you go away, or until everyone decides to ignore you. There are plenty of people who may agree with your sentiment, and may even support your opinions, but not now because of the way you are choosing to express youself in here. Try to be somewhat decent with your Las Vegas rants and some people may take you serious. Or for fun, try reposting your comments in this forum, but replace Las Vegas with (insert city), and you will instantly have dozens of new friends.
Funny how you praise SoCal as being such a nice place to live and the people are so much better than people in Las Vegas. How about all those people from NorCal that think SoCal is so trashy and uneducated.
Give it up! not all people are equal in wealth and it seems like you've have money and you like to look down on others. There are poor people in every city and stop making stupid remarks to make you feel better because your bitter or lack something in your life.
funny tina you claim malibu and santa monica to be such NICE places. but what can you say about the majority of the people ? mostly rich stuck up and snooty people that look down on others. obviously youre one of them if you keep defending such obnoxious behavior.

oh and people here have a bitter resentment ? how about you ? saying how bad you hated your visit to vegas. youre a big hypocrite. and this is coming from someone who moved out of socal. i admit, i moved to vegas looking for a better place to start anew. but socal is still considered home. you obviously hate las vegas for a reason and its good you left. one less ignorant person flaming places for not being "perfect" with poor looking people. it seems one of your reasons for not liking vegas were the "poor looking white and black people" seems like racism is a reason you use to justify your ridiculous comparison of socal to nevada. las vegas doesnt need people like you.
