Off topic but it really is like that everywhere, pretty much. We tend to overlook it when in our everyday surroundings because we have pretty much insulated ourselves.
Whenever I leave home anymore, I have been in Colorado all week, I am shocked at the state of things and the people when I stop to get gas, quick food while driving, etc.
I can’t completely disagree but Vegas just has a really nasty sinister vibe, I can’t explain it better than that. I had two people a few years ago attempt (and fail) a strongarm robbery on me, so I’m pretty aware of what’s going on at gas stations.
