seaside resort has been dubbed "the Las Vegas of the UK" - but not everybody is sure it deserves that title. One local business owner in Skegness, Lincolnshire, went as far as to spend £36,000 on a replica of the Las Vegas sign that reads: "Welcome to Fabulous Skeg Vegas, not in Nevada."Skegness Raceway Stadium bosses said when it was erected last year: "With the current tough times we are all going through we decided to put a smile on everyone’s face and put something back into the community, oh and also light up the sky!"READ MORE: 'Worst place to live in the UK' where parents don't let their daughters out at nightHowever, not everyone seems to come away from Skegness' arcades, beaches and boozers with a smile on their face.

A one-star review of Skegness beach on TripAdvisor slammed it as the "filthiest beach" the reviewer had ever seen."Everybody was complaining about it.

Lovely sandy beach spoilt by all the rubbish people leave behind on it. Absolutely covered with discarded plastic bottles, half eaten trays of food, even towels and shoes," it read. "Same with the streets in the town.

Wherever you look it is covered with litter."Another one-star review took aim at the clientele of Skegness beach. It read: "We were close to this hole on holiday and decided to visit for the day, we wish we hadn't bothered.
