I visited Vegas for the first time this year and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. I was surprised to learn that, despite its reputation as a party city, it isn't technically legal to consume cannabis on the Strip. I guess it's in the interests of MGM and Caesars to keep the alcohol flowing, and all of the profit that comes from that.

Technically? It's all you can smell when you're in that stretch between Linq and Flamingo

  Technically is the correct term to use here. It's de jure illegal but de facto fine.

    While all that is true, I try to avoid breaking the law when visiting foreign countries. I wouldn't want to make future travel unnecessarily complicated.

> I visited Vegas for the first time this year and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. I always felt this would be a great tagline for the Las Vegas tourism commission. Use it to advertise in places that people that maybe wouldn't think of going to Las Vegas tend to be. I felt the same way the first time I went. The place is just amazing and unique.
