In Las Vegas, there’s a lot of really cool buildings. While visiting the city, I remember seeing Caesar’s Palace. I’m not entirely sure why I remember Caesar’s Palace the most. There were tons of other hotels and attractions that, honestly, piqued my interest more, but I think I remember it the most because of how popular that specific hotel is. Nonetheless, it was still very unique and neat. The building had a Roman architecture theme. The outside looked like Roman structures with many many pillars and arches. There were a lot of domes and statues as well. It really was a cool depiction of Roman culture. On the first floor of the building inside, there was a bunch of casinos and shops. If I recall correctly, the inside had a lot of gold where the casinos were located and a ceiling painted like the sky where the shops were at. Furthermore, there were a lot of statues and monuments. I remember seeing a play performed by animated characters of some important historical Roman event. I didn’t really enjoy seeing it all that much because I couldn’t see what was happening due to being so short.

The purpose of Caesar’s Palace is evidently to provide entertainment. There were no windows on the bottom floor and I presume it is so people are not aware of how much time they’ve spent in the building. Therefore, they stay longer and spend more money. It was extremely large and very easy to get lost. I went to only one tower and spent about two hours simply looking around. It was definitely a grand structure meant just for amusement. There were tons of drunk people and individuals laughing, having a good time. All of this made me not very interested in the place. Yea, the building was very cool, but besides wasting money and getting drunk there really wasn’t any other purpose for it. Caesar’s Palace just appeared as a place to throw one’s life away and considering how many people have lost their life’s savings due to gambling, I think my assumption is correct.

Now, I’m not saying that the building is ugly, it just didn’t appeal to me. While there, I found myself wanting to leave and get back to the “real world” even though I would still be stuck in Vegas. It was just too shut out and isolated from everything else occurring, and I did not like that. The palace was extremely beautiful and had amazing architecture, but I just didn’t really care for it or for the city, if I’m being honest. The meaning of the hotel was just so superficial. There were tons of other activities besides shops and casinos such as a fountain that were cool, but those things were only interesting for so long. Maybe the problem is that I need to learn to let go and have some fun, but Caesar’s Palace was just, dare I say it, boring.
