why go to las vegas when there is ................

[biggs682]

one simple question , we had a few nice days in and around grt yarmouth at start of week , and i am struggling to understand why people bother to fly to Las Vegas to gamble away there money when you can walk along the main street in Hemsby and have a choice of several amusment arcades that match anythink Vegas have !

and if you still have any money left loads of proper seaside shops to go in and buy those fantastic seaside momento's we brits love .

and then what a beach , its fantastic

so this weekend fancy a trip to a great small seaside resort go to Hemsby

I never understood why anyone went to Las Vegas anyway other than for the Grand Canyon and Nevada. And that Norfolk doesn't have although it does have some pretty places but not the grandeur.

I've only been to Vegas and not Great Yarmouth, so I can't compare but I know that Vegas is better than New Brighton.

Not really. The wax model is much paler than the real person

Great Yarmouth has a waxworks museum

Oh yes! Louis Tussauds!

My sister and I went there, it was hilarious. They'd had to label the Beatles so you knew which was which, and as the Australian lady walking round behind us pointed out, Kylie had huge male hands....

As someone who enjoys a good game of poker. The games in Vegas are much better than the ones in Yarmouth

I've never been to Vegas, but I'm willing to bet my haddock and large chips that the crazy golf isn't a patch on the one in Yarmouth. Getting the ball through that windmill is nigh on impossible.

In Vegas if you gamble all drinks are free.

There's no such thing as a free drink

Apparently there is if you are a senior policeman who attends a Red Top journalist's wedding.

Still a price attached to it then.
