Las Vegas was exhausting, venal, and toxic in large doses. Eric and I went there on our honeymoon and went from "lovey dovey" to "if I had a gun I would shoot you just to shut you up" in three days. We got the hell out of Vegas to tour the desert, immediately calmed down, and realized that the city's ambiance was the problem.

Also we stayed in Old Vegas. You could smell cigarette smoke from the goddamn freeway exit. UGH
