i agree in the aspect that Vegas has evolved to be more aesthetic to the senses and I love Vegas but Epcot and Vegas give me totally different vibes.

Wait in your entire life you've only vacationed to Las Vegas and Orlando?
Wait until you do something with actual nature.

LOL, we use to call Vegas "disneyworld for Adults". I was there last mother's day with some cousins. Had a blast. Stayed at the Venetian., heck I could have spent the weekend in there alone.
Like others I'm not a big gambler so 3-4 days is enough for me

Really? My brother went not long ago and asked me for dining suggestions, as I used to go to Vegas around 15 years ago. When I looked, some of the old classics like Aureole and BLT Burger had closed, but there were tons of new options. Lots of fusion style restaurants… I haven’t been in over a decade, though, so can’t speak to their quality.
Side note / random thought - I think I am the only person in literally the world who wasn’t crazy about Nobu in Vegas. And I love sushi… but I just didn’t get what all the fuss is about.
Adult Disney world was the infamous WDW Pleasure Island back in the heyday. Killed lots of brain cells in my younger days. It made Epcot Food and Wine look tame.
The buffet was pretty elaborate lol. I was actually thinking the inside reminded me of the contemporary resort times 10.
I said the Italy resort
I'm a "Disney adult" without kids
It is a bit sketch.
Yep we are going to meowwolf this week
Nooo no... I've been to Spain, Iceland, Brazil, Mexico, trans-atlantic cruising, cruising in general (carnival, Disney, Royal Caribbean), I got to NYC a lot, DC, New Orleans, spent 2 weeks in Ireland during college, Disneyland, Hawaii... My family literally travels for a living and then we take our "business trips" to do "research" across the globe.
But I mostly go to Disney and NYC. I'm only 25.
Heart Attack Grill is legendary in Vegas, some guests actually died eating in the restaurant. No way WDW would advertise a dining location like that.
I won't discredit the folks saying that I should have visited in the 90s. I was born in 98 sadly.
This must be what it feels like to head to EPCOT for the first time in, say, 2023. You don't miss what you don't know.

We had a food tour and we had some DEEELICIOUS foods. I couldn't tell you where we ate thought because there was so many.
I will say the hot dogs at Dirty Dogs are VERY good.
My comparison to EPCOT--
Drinking- check
Eating- check
Elaborate Ginormous show buildings- check
World showcase- check
Entertainment- check
Streetmosphere- check
I can even add a mix of Disney springs in there with volcano Cafe and planet Hollywood.
Plus the Cirque shows. Mwah.

We're touring children's theatre. So as long as shows, entertainment, atmospheric elements for set design, and food are involved we are good.

Shoot, that's not a bad age for a first Vegas trip. I think I was 16 (which of course kinda stank), and then 22ish when I went and had my first fun-memorable time.
Vegas is unique, there is no place quite like it. ...which is both good and bad. You have plenty of time to see other stuff too still.
The duluxe hard-hat Hoover dam tour is recommended. ...if you know... you like dams.

Mindfreak is gratuitously intense, but still worth it. Once.I'm super excited about Ka and Love by Cirque!! Also seeing Mindfreak.

Ka is epic. Get good seats if you can spare a little extra $$$.
I spent a hefty penny on both Cirque shows... $336 total for one, and over $600 for the other. Here's hoping. Lol!

They could do a better job at marketing that. I would have gone had I known. ...will go check it out next time I am there. This spring in fact.
