A description of the experience
Hunter S Thompson – Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
[here he contrasts the experience of Las Vegas with a drug trip on LSD]

Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip – the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las vegas 12 times the size of God, howling anything that come into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs. Reality itself is too twisted
