This weekend, I'm heading out to Las Vegas with two friends, partly for a quick desert getaway, and partly to write my annual winter travel story from my favorite adult playground. It's a perfect world when work and fun combine, and I just received my credentials to cover the Adult Video News Expo at the Hard Rock Casino.
I think the topic of this article will be "putting the sin back in Sin City."
Now, I've visited many times before, but there's always something new and fun to explore, and my mantra is "no repeats."
Indeed, our schedule is pretty jam-packed, but Milwaukeeans tend to be very well traveled when it comes to Las Vegas, so I'm guessing our readers have suggestions for places off the beaten path that we're not thinking of.
So, yes, I know about the pirate show at Treasure Island and the low-minimum blackjack tables downtown, but what do we really, really need to see this weekend?
I've lost track of how many times I've been to Las Vegas, but it's approaching double digits. I'm counting on you, awesome readers of OnMilwaukee.com, to take our trip up a notch. Thanks in advance!
