Some of us have lived here our entire lives, and even more have only spent a fraction of their time living in Sin City. All of my nineteen years have been spent in this town, and, personally, I’ve loved it here - though I know not everyone feels the same way.

Nevertheless, when you’ve lived in Vegas long enough, you think of some questions about the city and what it’s like to live here - many of which will probably never be answered, but are fun to think about anyways… Let’s begin!

1. Why do people hate it here so much? I’ve always felt like Vegas has a nice balance between suburb and city life, leaving people to let loose on the Strip or stay on its outskirts, or both!

2. Why does it feel like all of the nation’s worst drivers somehow ended up in one of the busiest cities in the country?

3. Why isn’t there more stuff for people under 21 to do in this town without it being a lot of work and inexpensive? Fun should be cheap and easy.

4. Why on EARTH did MGM close their theme park before I ever had the chance to go there?! At least we still have the Adventure Dome.

5. Are we ever going to get a thrilling and exciting video game that takes place in Vegas? Every other major city in the world seems to have one. (Fallout: New Vegas was loosely inspired by many famous landmarks from all around the Mojave, but I would love to have something that’s, like, not post-apocalyptic!)

6. What is it like to experience an actual winter, where the weather drops below fifty degrees and it’s considered normal?

7. Can we get a repeat of the 2008 snowstorm? That was the best day of my life.

8. Who’s excited to finally have a professional sports team represent our town?! I know I am… Raider Nation, here we come!!!

9. Who came up with the name “Sin City?” It’s a pretty cool title, if you ask me. Very scandalous.

Whether you love it or hate it here, it's where you are, so you might as well make the best of it!
