To: The Mayor
I do not boast that God is on my side,” wrote Abraham Lincoln. “I humbly pray that I am on God’s side.”

Thank you for our devotional today, Mr. Mayor. The quote above says it all too!

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

You know you’re from Las Vegas if...

Lifted and modified from elsewhere online, and mostly true.

1. You have no idea what a scarf does but think it looks good.
2. You know how to get to any casino on the strip without taking Las Vegas Blvd.
3. You can now predict where construction signs will be misleadingly placed.
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.
7. When you go to different cities, you’re amazed things aren’t open after 9 pm.
8. It doesn’t faze you to see slot machines in grocery stores.
9. You have no idea how a lottery works.
10. What the hell is last call?
11. Your most prized possession as a Nevadan is your blue and white license plate.
12. You know the spaghetti bowl has nothing to do with food and you want nothing to do with it.
13. You know never to merge right when driving north on I-15; it’ll just end anyway.
14. You think a well-organized pile of rocks can be a nice lawn.
15. Snowfall only happens on TV.
16. The term Lake Las Vegas doesn’t seem problematic in the slightest.
17. You need to walk through a casino to see a movie.
18. You can spot a tourist from 3 miles away.
19. Limos are an everyday sighting.
30. You laugh at people taking pictures in front of the welcome sign.
31. You don’t own an umbrella.
32. Sixty degrees is cold enough to wear a jacket.
33. You can wear shorts in the winter.
34. You get bored in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
35. You’ve never had to pay for parking.
36. You are outraged to pay more than 9.99 for prime rib and a lobster tail.
37. You’ve forgotten what rain looks like.
