Things that surprised me my first time in Las Vegas

I had almost no expectations the first time I went to Las Vegas. In 2016, I bought tickets to see Britney Spears in her Piece of Me residency, and my best friend and I booked a quick, two-day, in-and-out trip, figuring we’d go to the show, stick a dollar in a slot machine and call it a day. I wasn’t all that interested in Vegas. But the energy sucked me in me the second I stepped off the plane, and now it’s somewhere I visit once or twice a year. I’ve learned a lot with each trip, but here are the things that surprised me the first time.
