I've now visited Las Vegas three times and I still don't know what to think. I still believe that Las Vegas is a contradiction: it shouldn't exist and yet it does. The theorist in me gets really excited about Las Vegas. So does the photographer in me. On one visit I spent three days exploring and documenting different corners of the city, from the suburbs to the gritty underbelly.
