As stated above, Las Vegas truly understands the needs of its tourist and natives. As a native of Vegas I can just only image the everyday excitement. I’ve always wondered, is Las Veg,as, a place to raise a family? Is Las Vegas, a place to have a wife? Its sounds crazy, but there are so much going in Las Vegas it's pretty easy to get all screwed up. In fact, in a trending article it states that marriage has dropped in Las Vegas. There are two perspectives to this story. Some will say it's because of the “fast life” and tempting things, others as in the article will say it has to do with the correlation of having a degree and certain motives with your significant others. I believe both perspectives can be true. For exam=ple, there are just so
The passage, “Marrying Absurd” by Joan Didion gives the readers a vivid look into the “wedding business” that goes on in Las Vegas, Nevada. There are about 19 wedding chapels located in Las Vegas, which operate 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Nothing else is required for the marriage to take place. Around the time 9:00 pm and Midnight on August 26th, 1965, by Presidential order, it was the last day on
The American Dream: the trademark of US society. Its meaning is deeply rooted in the Declaration of Independence which proclaims that “all men are created equal” and that they are all entitled to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (The Declaration of Independence). The luring Dream attracted thousands of immigrants to the United States and many people, including authors, have been inspired by it, one of them being Hunter S. Thompson. His book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream follows protagonist Raoul Duke in search of the American Dream. While he comes in bars, casinos and hotels, it seems that he never finds what he is looking for: the American Dream has failed him. The situations that Raoul Duke experience are a metaphor for the decaying American Dream and the corruption in American society due to growing social discontent.
Scar Vegas, written by Tom Paine, is a book compiled of 10 unusual short stories that gesture toward a deeper understanding of reality.

One of the most surprising and uncommon events happened to me in the summer of 2015, Sedona, Arizona. It started out as a pleasant summer getaway; visiting the Grand Canyon, Sedona rock slides, and just having an amazing, memorable time with friends and family. One day, we decided that it would be enjoyable to have a picnic in the forest. The trees were deep green and lush. The tranquil, relaxing stream of a nearby river could be heard, and birds were chirping cheerfully. After lunch, we all decided upon venturing deeper into the forest near the river. On a rock, a single bright, pastel green caterpillar- equipped with unique spikes, caught our eyes. None of us had ever seen such a creature. We were captivated and intrigued. Since we were not

The idea of the American Dream is it began as an idea people could thrive from, but became detrimental through corruption. Society’s necessity for material goods and money for personal happiness distorts the American dream.

Thompson, expresses the decline of society’s morals due to materialistic needs. Thompson proves through symbolism and characterization that society‘s corrupted perception of the American Dream provokes an individual’s morals to decline.

The use of alcohol in bars has a bad influence on kids but the hours of Las Vegas is an even more colossal problem when visiting Las Vegas with children. Sleep is an essential part to a child's life, however, when you visit Las Vegas you do not get the sleep, children need in order to function properly during the day. It is always lit up and bright throughout the whole night, and when adults visit the city they want to get the full experience, so they stay up all night partying.

Then, when I had to go to bed I couldn’t because of the

Another cause to confirm the recent increase in divorce rates is stress in modern living. Many people, who live in globalisation, have considerable pressures to earn money. It can be obviously seen that the stress has occurred since they are children. For instance, in Thailand, students generally want to go to famous school so that they take advantage to go to well-known universities. Studying in celebrated universities mostly causes having a good opportunity to find a job or earn a lot of money. This circumstance not only happens in Thailand, but also occurs in many countries. Some people are laid off from their companies; consequently the stress occurs in their family, which leads to divorce. Some families can earn money, but inadequate for covering their expenses, therefore it is easy to think about divorce. Nevertheless, the rates of unemployment trend to continually increase as a result the divorce rates can also rise.
