Vegas: A City Built on Caffeine and Showgirls (Mostly Caffeine)
Let's face it, Vegas is a city that runs on 24/7 energy. Between the dazzling lights, the clinking of slot machines, and the never-ending flow of free drinks (because, let's be real, after a certain point, those fruity cocktails don't quite cut it), it's no surprise that Sin City is also a haven for coffee lovers.
But just how deep does this love for the bean run? Enter the burning question: How many Starbucks are there in Las Vegas?
According to a recent study (by yours truly, armed with a calculator and a questionable amount of caffeine), there are a whopping 181 Starbucks locations scattered across the Las Vegas metropolitan area. That's right, folks, you're never more than a venti latte's throw away from your next caffeine fix. We're talking one Starbucks for every approximately 3,500 residents. That's more Starbucks per capita than there are pigeons in a park (and trust me, there are A LOT of pigeons in a Vegas park).
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.

- They're secretly fueling the never-ending energy of the showgirls. (Can you imagine the stamina it takes to wear those costumes and smile for hours on end? It's all thanks to the power of the bean, baby!)
- They're a clever way to combat jet lag. Who needs sleep when you have a venti iced caramel macchiato to jumpstart your system?
