The entire focus of the strip is on taking as much of your money as possible before you leave. It's considerably more tolerable if you're drunk/high the entire time you're there. Otherwise the reality is a bit overwhelming, and not in a good way.
Beyond the strip of course there's a pretty substantial city with plenty of decent people.
