Two night stay in Las Vegas
Summary
There’s nothing quite like Las vegas – a giant theme park where you can lose yourself in all type of excitement and opportunities to get up to mischief. If most gambling centres are focused on gambling, Vegas is focused on entertainment, so hit up as many shows as you can, enjoy walking down the strip looking at one audacious casino to the next and go for it on the lash / partying – no place quite like it
Big tip – make sure when you first arrive to just head off and have a drink without any real plans. The casinos are like labyrinths and there’s something so fun about stumbling into one of the magical spots that you had no idea was around the corner or even existed, enjoying it and moving on to the next

Score Detail
Background - how many times have you asked someone what a travel experience was like and the response was "amazing" or "awesome"? That response is nice to know, but it makes it hard to differentiate that experience compared to others. That is exactly what these scores are trying to do - differentiate the experience by giving a score out of 10 based on 6 categories and then giving an overall experience score
This overall experience score is calculated by: take the highest of the "Culture" or "Nature" score (1-10) + "Fun factor" (1-10) + "Avoiding the crowds" (1-10) + highest of the "Unique" or "World Famous score" (1-10). Then convert into a score out of 100
Extra detail - the logic being that I find all of the 6 individual scores important, but I don't want to mark an experience down just because it doesn't cover both "Culture" and "Nature", or because it isn't both "World Famous" and "Unique". Take the examples of Safari in The Serengeti and walking through Rome - they both appeal at opposite ends of the nature / culture spectrum, and you can have a fantastic time without needing to appeal to both sides. So, their overall scores aren't penalized for their lack of one or the other, and I've done the same for "World Famous" vs "Unique". But . . . I do think that the "Fun factor" of an experience is important, irrelevant of other factors, and so is "Avoiding the Crowds" (or where there are crowds that add to the experience). So, both of these scores are standalone
