Las Vegas, Nevada | 2017–Present
I first visited Las Vegas in 2017 for Thanksgiving with my father and sister, enjoying the bright lights, dining, and entertainment of the famous Strip. Since then, I have returned regularly, both to spend time with my father and to visit one of my closest friends who lives in the city. My father and I enjoy playing blackjack, exploring the casinos, and visiting different bars. While my time with my local friend tends to be more relaxed and focused on enjoying each other’s company. Through these visits, I have become familiar with both the extravagant resorts of the Strip and the quieter residential neighborhoods beyond the tourist attractions. Las Vegas has become more than an occasional vacation destination; it is a place I return to for the people and experiences that make each visit memorable.
