Seriously though, what cool places would you recommend to visit near the West coast? Should I visit Las Vegas? Does it have many attractions for those who don't intend to gamble? I heard about Heart Attack grill and have been dreaming about going there ever since.
That's a loaded question; I guess it depends on your interests.
I could give you generalized answers, but like, if you're interested in something (beaches or what-have-you) I could be much more specific. I tend to travel often; there's much to do here.
Las Vegas is a good distance from Los Angeles (a state over), but I've been there many times. I don't gamble, and personally consider it an overheated death trap. They have quite a few things to look at, and some minor attractions, but overall not worth the detour if you don't intend to gamble. Southern California in general has far more to offer, considering that.
