Miles of scorching desert that never ends, everywhere you look you see nothingness. Life is not possible here. However, if you are willing to go the extra mile what you will find will be worth more than you could have ever imagined. Do not succumb to the sinister void of desert because just beyond the blistering sand you will find Sin City. A place with more entertainment and fascinating people than you have ever seen. Nothing compares to a place where there are no rules.
The people are like vampires, only coming out at night. It’s as if the sun will burn them alive so they do not dare aggravate it. When the darkness finally consumes the city of sin, there is no shortage of people. No one dares to be ordinary.

One cannot deny the invitation of casinos for too long. The immeasurable heat of the desert blasts its way to Las Vegas entering the bodies of every living thing in sight. You can feel the warmth mutilate your body, it crawls its way up to your head as easily as a snake on a newly waxed floor. Just to mess with your brain and play heinous schemes on your mind. You were not meant for this kind of abuse. The thought of cold refreshing drinks to relax the devilish heat resonates through your mind like a waterfall crashing down on rocks for the first time. You can not stand it anymore you must go inside. However, the second you enter you are imprisoned, there is no way out.
