I'm not a big NBA fan, so I've followed the hype over French superstar-to-be Victor Wembanyama only distantly. But I think I'm really starting to like the guy.
“With your first experience in Vegas — what did you think?”
“On earth, it’s probably the closest thing to a dystopia.” - Victor Wembanyama ???? pic.twitter.com/PoJRveKG3w

Typical French
Make $280 per hour. Getting a job is not easy. In any case, you have fd02 access to a wealth of resources to help you with your work style. Become motivated to promote hundreds of jobs through job boards and vx05 career websites.
Take a look at this............................. https://paymoney35.blogspot.com/
Shut the fuck up and get on your back robo-thot.
Agree with Wembanyana. If one is not into gambling or overpriced tickets for past their prime stars, Vegas is just a well lit wasteland.
But it's also a walk-through decorator display of interesting light fixtures, upholstery, wall treatments, environments, ceilings, colors, etc... That's why I like it. Otherwise, the food is meh, the ticket prices astronomical, and the casinos all look exactly the same with varying ranges of really bad carpet.
World class people watching...
That too! The show isn't where people think it is.
The Saudi plan for The Line will overtake Vegas as the closest thing to a Dystopia on Earth. There's a show on Netflix about a similar scenario: Black Knight.
What--you're not watching the Bowl Games???
Maryland is having it's way with Auburn in the Transperfect Music City Bowl (Nashville).
Waiting for the right wing freakout and a name change announcement.

Incredible pedigree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Wembanyama
Anyway yeah, he speaks the truth.
Gotta love it…
Only 25 years to go...

After a few years living in the US he will no longer be capable of using literate terms such as dystopia. Or recognizing he is in the midst of one.
When a city's leading industries are based on 3 of the 7 deadly sins, something is VERY wrong. Pretty lights though!
What's weird is that it's right next to the heroic and noble Hoover Dam. That's a project that brought light and water to millions, as opposed to sticking a huge vacuum cleaner into the wallets of America. If you're ever in Vegas for some awful reason, take an afternoon off and go visit the Dam.
Water that only barely exists, and was over-estimated by political types despite warnings from scientists.
Also, water that used to flow to Mexico's gulf, which is now 99% barren and lifeless.
When you're a star, they let you say anything.
My reaction is similar to some of my friends: For the first six hours, it's exciting, with lots of energy, lights, food, and well-executed casino themes.
But past that, it seems rather bleak if you're not a hard-core gambler.
That said, it's unique in a defy-the-laws-of-economics sort of way. Not much agriculture, manufacturing, cargo transportation, R&D of significance. But that's the appeal. It's a glimpse of a future where people live in earth-orbiting communities, with robots doing all the work, leaving everyone to pursue recreation.
It's nearly certain Vegas is set (along with Seattle) to get one of the two expansion franchises.
Smart guy
I went to Vegas in the 90s to visit some friends. The residential parts were peaceful, though there were more pharmacies than I'd ever seen in one city before. But downtown and the Strip were a hellhole so bad that I've never returned.
Wembanyama and tango are not wrong but here's my list of Las Vegas sights you won't find elsewhere: Mob Museum, Meow Wolf Omega Mart, Museum of Atomic Testing, Hoover Dam, Neon Museum. There are other museums and immersive experiences to enjoy without stepping into casinos.
I cannot say I have taken the census of Meow Wolf locations, and I have been to only the Denver location, but while I'm sure each is unique, are they indeed that different?
Wembanyama, as a foreigner, can be excused for not knowing the Louisiana State Prison known as Angola is America's premier example of dystopia.
