Now that I have left and gone away to school, I can really see how different growing up in Vegas is from the rest of the country.
When you grew up in Vegas:
You don't wear "Las Vegas", T-shirts. Only people from Cali would do that.
When you go to different cities, you're amazed things aren't open after 9 pm
When it rains people freak out & when it snows, they lose their minds.
In the summer, your car is overheated...before you started driving
You know that prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas but legal in Pahrump.
You know a yellow light means there is plenty of time and a red light means there is still enough time.
Your mayor used to work for the mob and still hangs out with show girls.
The slot machines in the airport drown out the PA announcements
You give directions to your house based on location of closest casino
You learned how to use crayon's by playing KENO at restaurants when you were a kid.
You have no idea what a scarf does but think it looks good.
You know how to get to any casino on the strip without taking Las Vegas Blvd.
You know the seasons: Really hot, 2 weeks of nice, not so hot, 2 weeks of nice.
It doesn't faze you to see slot machines in grocery stores.
You have no idea how a lottery works.
You know the spaghetti bowl has nothing to do with food and you want nothing to do with it.
You think a well-organized pile of rocks can be a nice lawn.
You need to walk through a casino to see a movie.
You can spot a tourist from 3 miles away.
Limos are an everyday sighting.
You don't own an umbrella.
Sixty degrees is cold enough to wear a jacket.
You can wear shorts in the winter.
You get bored in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
You've never had to pay for parking.
Does it hurt?
