What to Do In Las Vegas if You’re Not a Gambler
For someone who has been to Las Vegas on three separate occasions, I truly have no interest in gambling. The brightly light machines are pretty and that’s about the extent of my awareness of the casino floor.
There is, however, a reason that I keep returning to the city; its abundance of shopping, dining, entertainment and nightlife activities are endless and ever changing. In the three times…

“I can’t see so well. I mean, I could see, but your periphery is gone. I’ve got these things over my teeth, so it’s hard to talk. It’s exhausting to talk. It’s hot. […] It was physically exhausting and I didn’t realize until we got everything on. The first day just so happened to coincide with a day in New York where the heat index was like 106. I didn’t have a cooling suit because we didn’t even think about it. It was not even a part of the process. And I don’t complain. I don’t really ask for much, except time in front of the camera. So there was a point pretty early in the day where I sat down and I could feel my body just– not shutting down, but getting very heavy. And I just said, ‘Man, you’re getting too old for this shit.' [...] It’s all OK. You get used to it. And yeah — I would do it again."

They come to Vegas chasing penny-ante dreams of high living, to feel like they're big-shots, like they're winners. You see that you and I are of a different stripe, don't you? We don't have to dream that we're important. We are.
SHUT UP! My dad is Robert Edwin House, President, CEO, and sole proprietor of the New Vegas Strip and he can tax you into poverty

"Le standard rpg moralistic choice™️" is one of the most boring tropes in western rpgs imho.
What I prefer and what I think pretty much everyone enjoys more are choices based on ideology and how you want to do things, not "do you wanna be good? or a mass murderer?"
I'm talking "choices" like disarming the nuke in Megaton in Fallout 3, or, fucking nuking the entire town. Or more recently, do you save the tieflings and the druids from the goblin army bent on wiping them out? Or do you decide to just slaughter them all?
Like, Bioware had data from the Mass Effect series which showed that less than 10% of players went Renegade on a first playthrough, when all you do is offer people a choice between being good, or bad, most people will just choose good, because that's usually what makes most sense for the story.
Compare that to (take a shot) Fallout New Vegas, just one quest, that being fixing the Helios One solar power plant and deciding who should get the power.
Should you distribute the power equally among the region, even if that means nobody really gets a lot?
Should you send it to Camp McCarren and the Strip since they are vital to protecting New Vegas from the Legion?
Should you send it to the slums in Fremont and Westside since that might help their situation the most?
Or should you use the power plant to fuel a giant space satellite laser, just for yourself!
New Vegas is filled with actual choices like this, and, if you can't even do that, you coulds try what (act surprised) Knights of the Old Republic II does and make meta comments on the futility and bizarreness of binary good/evil choices.
Early on when you arrive on Nar Shaddaa in KOTOR II a beggar asks you if you can spare some credits, and no matter what your choice, give them to him, and he gets mugged later, refuse him, and he goes out and mugs someone else, with Kreia commenting negatively on either choice you make.
Anyway I'm just really sick and tired of the boring binary morality choices and wish we had more actually intellectually debatable issues, the very fact that even 13 years later people argue over what the best ending to New Vegas is should be proof enough that it's way of doing things is objectively better.

"This is Mr. New Vegas, and I feel something magic in the air tonight, and I'm not just talking about the gamma radiation." ✨🌃🌵🌙
Aaa so it’s been a long long time since I made some New Vegas art, but I promised myself if my fanmix on Spotify got to 500 followers, I would revamp the cover art. So here it is!
