19. Las Vegas, NV

"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." That is how they are marketing Las Vegas to the American public. In other words, it's a big ole crazy party where anything can and will happen, and you can be a completely different person there without worrying about any repercussions from colleagues, significant others, or the law once you get home. It is the perfect place to follow your id.The main strip (which you will notice from miles away thanks to a zillion bright lights shining in all directions) hosts a multitude of casinos, restaurants, hotels, and attractions. The better casinos are everything in one: casino, hotel, restaurant, bar, and entertainment. Obviously, Vegas is the epicenter of gambling in all its forms. I was fortunate to break even during my visit, and my buddy Grady lost a whopping fifty cents. We went in with a set amount of money and refused to take out any more... something you might want to consider since the big winners are few and far between.It's worth visiting just to take a walk down the main strip and observe. The sidewalks are filled with tourists from all over the world, and there is no shortage of picture-worthy sights. It really has its own culture. Every so often, each casino resort will have a live show in front of their building, whether it be lights shows, water shows, dancing, fire, or anything else they can think of to keep your attention. Inside, they also offer live concerts, comedians, magic shows, ballet, opera, cultural performances and more depending on the place and time. The more money you have, the better, but it is actually possible to have fun without it in a place where it flows like water. Vegas baby, Vegas.
