Oh, I believe that about Las Vegas. No doubt. It's a 24-hour alcohol fueled gambling town catering to wild-assed Southern Californians come to raise hell. Lots of crime and violence there. I have no need to go there, but if I do, I go well armed.

Thank goodness it's also extraordinarily far away from the snowy little mountain pass where I live upstate. It would probably take me 15 hours to drive there.

Yeah, but much of that Las Vegas crime is committed by L.A. people. ;)
