- Screw Vegas, I'm going to Laughlin.

Laughlin is about an hour away from Las Vegas. It's like a mini Vegas but more comfortable/cheaper. I used to go there every summer since I was two. It's the only place I call my home away from home. Haven't been in like five years and I miss it so. This year im going to spend my 21st bday in laughlin. :)
oh Laughlin, how I loved thee? Let me count the ways:
1. you're cheaper than vegas but with the same aesthetic
2. the warm weather
3. the gorgeous lakes
4. the buffets and in-n-out and arcades (not old enough to gamble just yet)
5. movie theatre inside the hotels
6. room service
7. shopping
8. the only people that come here (mostly) are polite, retired old couples.
but mosly what i do at laughlin involves #3. just lie on the beach and enjoy the sun. *sigh* I feel relaxed just thinking about it.
