Oesy, this reminded me of something you would post. I figured you would enjoy it!

You know you’re from Las Vegas if...

4. You accept the fact that stop signs and red lights mean very little to tourists.
5. You become nocturnal between the months of April to October.
6. You know the seasons: Really hot, 2 weeks of nice, not so hot, 2 weeks of nice.

OK, jaycee, I'm taking the bait.

1. You know you live in Las Vegas when you're at the grocery store and you pass Elvis and don't think twice (and no one else does, either).

2. You know you live in Las Vegas when (you've HAD breast implants and) everyone still has bigger boobs than you, and that includes the mannequins, the 17 year olds, the transgenders, and the drag queens.

3. You know you live in Las Vegas when it never goes below 90 degrees for 4 months out of the year.

5. You know you live in Las Vegas when the biggest talk of the town is the new casino going up.

7. You know you live in Las Vegas when all the kids you know go to private school.

8. You know you live in Las Vegas when you go to a buffet for Thanksgiving dinner.
