well I've never been to Vegas but I enjoyed Dubai for the heat (in small does, thankfully everywhere has air con) and the shopping - everything is SO cheap in the designer discount stores or the markets - Geetak maybe you were in the mall where they have all the western shops? that was expensive - AND the fantastic local food. I was lucky I had friends living there at the time who could show me around and I didn't have to pay for my accomodation (or my flight come to that as I was on a stopover on a work trip) but I would love to go back there another time, but yes for a few days, no more than a week or so, I can see you could get bored after a while. The one thing I found really odd was no music being played in public places and it was very hard to find anywhere to buy CDs (found a shop at the airport in the end).
