Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

The other day I was invited to a bachelorette party. And it wasn’t one of those simple, one day parties. NO. This was going to be an all-out, wild, expensive bachelorette weekend in… the city of Las Vegas.

And I knew exactly what was going to happen. The shots. Thunder from Down Under. $300 dinners. No sleep. And I’m like… why is everyone obsessed with going to this random, expensive city in the middle of the desert? 

Don’t get me wrong… I love Vegas. But it’s kind of surprising that it’s still around. I mean, if you think about it, Vegas has almost been canceled over and over and over again. 

I mean there was the mob, the recession, covid, inflation… but Vegas *always* seems to find a way to survive. And I had to get to the bottom of why. So join me on this journey as we discuss The Dark History of… Las Vegas.  

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out. IDK. lol: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/139701263-bailey
