People Watching Vegas Style

People Watching in Vegas…At Night

After dinner we headed to the Wynn to watch the waterfall show and have a drink. People watching there was slightly different than what I found in the afternoon.

For one thing, it was cool inside. For another, I was inside a casino and at a bar.

What did I see?

More multi-generational families. Again, son helped dad and probably grandfather navigate the stairs, escalator, and tables. More males of different ages than females.

Couples walked by. She wore shoes from a designer I recognized. They are expensive. He wore worn out flip-flops.

One woman definitely had her attributes enhanced. On many levels. Others preferred to show off their bodies. Real or not?

Another couple was oblivious to everyone but each other. Hopefully, they made it to their room.

Dad with his teen-age daughters commented on the intricate, mosaic floor designs, the uniquely crafted flower displays, and the hanging glass parasols. They seemed to take in everything around them with enthusiasm.

There were those still in tank tops and flip flops. And, those in evening attire.

What did I learn?

Everyone seemed to be having a good time. People of all ages mingled with the glitz, glimmer, and neon of the casinos and restaurants.

People Watching…Vegas

People Watching in Vegas

When you visit a place where lots of people go, it makes for interesting people watching. Take Las Vegas, for instance.

It was hot…really hot. It is the desert, after all. People still visit. People still wander around. I was one of those.

I did more than just wander, however. I sat, had a cool drink, and watched people. Tourists, business people, show girls, and families. Yes, families with little kids and strollers.

What did I see?

There were those who took photos of everything they happened to see. Some would stop in the middle of the sidewalk and take a photo of their companion pointing to a hotel or landmark. Many wore tank tops, shorts, and flip-flops.

Multi-generation families moved a little slower. The son helped the father navigate through the rest of the people on the street. Then, he helped him sit at a sidewalk café.

Couples holding hands and looking more at each other than anything else made me think they were there on their honeymoon. Or, maybe they just got married in one of the hotel chapels.

Parents pushing strollers with fussy kids made me wonder why they thought the kids would enjoy this.

Two showgirls, clad in nothing but feathers, approached me and asked if I would be interested in a pole-dancing class. They said it was fun. I declined.

Teenagers gawking at who knows what, acted just like teenagers anywhere. They probably enjoyed the feathers.

Shortly after the feathered girls, a muscular man wearing only a red, white, and blue G-string approached me and asked if would be interested in a free ticket to an all-male review. Even though he was very patriotic in his attire, I declined that as well.

What did I learn?

Tourists come in all shapes, sizes, and nationalities. Everyone seemed to have a good time and they all appeared to be happy.
