Las Vegas-Personal Narrative
At first when I had heard of it, I wasn’t too sure on what it was or how it was going to be. When my brother and I had got there it was a beautiful sight. We found out that the strip was all of Las Vegas pretty much and there’s an abundance of beautiful and elusive lights that light up all of it. We took a trip around the whole thing and went to all the little stores and bought some neat souvenirs to take home with us since this was going to be our last day sadly. After we were done we had to head back to the hotel and we heard good news that my dad one in one of his poker tournaments and we greeted him there. We went to bed in the beautiful night of Las Vegas and waited for the morning. I couldn’t believe the fun was already

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To Miami

    One of the oldest questions in philosophy is whether humans have free will. When I look in retrospective, my journey to Miami makes me wonder is everything predetermined. Ever since I was a kid, I had vivid dreams about a sunny beach, soft golden sand, palm’s waterfall, and beautiful girl who will love me unconditionally.…

    Punta Cana Research Paper

    The room was very bright and felt very tropical. Once we got unpacked, we went down to the beach and ate lunch. After lunch, we saw two of my aunts and their families. Then, we went swimming in the ocean, the pools and laid on the beach. By supper time everyone had arrived. We spent most of our days eating together, swimming, playing beach volleyball, and laying on the beach. I got to spend my birthday in Punta Cana and I got to go on a catamaran, on a banana boat tube pulled by a boat with my cousins, and we had a special dinner at the Italian restaurant on the resort for me. My family and I were also there for the Super Bowl. They had a huge inflatable screen that they projected the game on. They had huge buffet of food and workers on the resort dressed like football players. My brother and my dad are Denver Broncos fans, so they were very happy with the result of the…

    Personal Narrative: South Lake Tahoe

    I live in a small city called South Lake Tahoe in the state of California. The people in South Lake consider themselves locals as long as you have lived here for more than 10 years. However, locals consider our city a town. Our town is mainly a tourist town, skiers and snowboarders in the winter and campers in the summer. When somebody moves to South Lake Tahoe, it may only be for a few reasons; to be a ski bum, get out of the bay area, or family. The people that move here either make it or they do not because of financial reasons. It is very hard to make a decent living here. To say it short and simple, a person can move up here with money or they learn to live paycheck by paycheck.…

    Personal Narrative: Las Vegas

    Las Vegas is exactly what I thought it would be in so many ways. I never thought a place could live so fully up to its famous and infamous reputation. From the slot machines to the nudity. Its almost like the entire place just never found its filter. "Southern Hospitality" was null and void and I'm guessing never even heard of let alone considered. Its just the complete rawness was something I'm not used to it at all. In the south everyone is so much more conservative and worried about what they look like in other people's eyes. It just seems like everyone there was so much more worried about themselves and their own lives they didn't have time to be worried with others. There was also this sense of togetherness and understanding. Not necessarily…

    Personal Narrative: My Life In Las Vegas

    It was mid June I remember and out here in Las Vegas that meant intense heat. Here we were two 15 year olds out on the streets with a baby on the way. Trying to keep cool was harder than I thought. We both were hungry, tired, and scared. I never imagined my self in that situation at such a young age. We walked and walked all over looking for somewhere to sleep. When we finally found somewhere to sleep outside of a church, my whole life flashed by as I layed there.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: Rock And Roll In Paradise City

    When I think of term rock and roll, I remember watching MTV and seeing Axel Rose scream into the microphone with his whinny voice the lyrics of “Paradise City” while dancing across the stage in his ridiculous outfits. My father would nostalgically reminisce of the epic guitar solos of the Eagles, Don Felder. My father being a teenager during the height of the rock music era afforded him certain opportunities to see the big hair bands perform live during their prime. When I was still a boy, he would tell me stories of concerts he had been to and rock legends he had met. I had always wanted to have such an experience and last month my wish was finally granted.…

    Leaving Las Vegas

    Leaving Las Vegas, directed by Mike Figgis and based on the autobiographical novel by John O'Brien, is an emotional story about an alcoholic who rejects life and wants to drink himself to death in Las Vegas, and an unselfish prostitute who loves him the way he is. Ben, played by Nicholas Cage, was a former movie producer in Los Angeles and has obviously crumbled in the glamour world of Hollywood which is shown in the opening scene. Here Ben is already an alcoholic when he disturbs former colleagues that are embarrassed of his appearance at the restaurant. Ben is unstable and a mess when one of the men give him money and tell him not to contact him again. Ben then gets fired and ultimately decides to drink himself to death in Las Vegas, a city constructed on greed, crime and moral negligence. We are never certain of the cause of Ben's alcoholism, especially when he says "I don't remember if I started drinking because my wife left me, or my wife left me because I started drinking." In a last attempt and hope of human interaction, Ben pays the hooker Sera, played by Elisabeth Shue, 500 dollars to spend a night with him. Sera is magically attracted to the loser type of man, as Figgis shows us with her boyfriend Yuri, her abusive pimp and boyfriend. This drama is about the absolute love between two people that live on society's border who need each other to know that they exist.…

    An Essay About Las Vegas

    We all have known Las Vegas as a bustling city of gambling, late night fun and the endearing concept of living one's life to the fullest. Aside from it being a hub for casinos and luxurious hotels, there had been a lot of displays of talent going on, from the eclectic lounge singers to the hyped-up music DJs crowing night clubs and youth bars, all of which got a story of their own tell, and for us to experience through the music that they produce. In a daily, or nightly basis, Las Vegas is dotted with different mixes of vocal abilities and a wide variety of passion being fulfilled through performing. And little did we know that some of the acts and solo musicians we're adored of nowadays actually started their journey within the beautiful chaos that Las Vegas is famous about.…

    Interesting Vegas Facts

    The lights, the shows, the money; welcome to Las Vegas, Sin City. It is the perfect destination for bachelor parties—as portrayed in the wildly popular comedy, The Hangover. It is an ideal getaway for young couples, the perfect place for a girls’ weekend out, and a super spot to get hitched. Vegas is a lot of things—flashy, exciting, and scandalous, just to name a few. There is one thing Las Vegas is not, though. Las Vegas is not a family friendly city. If the infamous slogan of Sin City, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” does not already say enough, Las Vegas is the worst destination for a family vacation, as it fails to provide a relaxing, stress-free environment that all members of the family can enjoy.…
