The Other Vegas

Hot springs just outside of Vegas

I’m glad I went to Las Vegas to see the famous city (also huge!) though as more of a bystander on my visit I found it hard to see through the ugly, wasteful excess of Vegas as people hopped drunkenly from casino to casino throwing their money away. Though had I been there with friends i’m sure it would have been a different story! In fact the best part of my time there was a impromptu hike with my couch surfing hosts through a canyon and to some hot springs. We stayed there till dark and walked back out of the canyon under the stars.
