It is weird, isn't it? I think "worst place to take visitors" is the locals' small, unheard plea for visitors to stop asking to be taken to the Strip, haha! Part of the reason locals dislike it so much is that it just becomes a non-issue "big deal" kind of thing and we tune it out, thinking 'why would you want to go see fake and gaudy when we have this beautiful scenery just a few miles out?' Also, it's a horrible place to try and drive through! But on the other hand, unless you know about anything off-Strip, it's the easiest place for visitors to be since anything you may need is right there - constant entertainment, good food, a place to stay, even a couple of pharmacies and gas stations. Regardless, whenever someone who hasn't been here says they want to go to the Strip, you gird up your loins, grit your teeth, fake a smile and say "Sure!" :D Hi Lynn! It is weird, isn’t it?

Since you agree, maybe you can enlighten us as to why that may be!
