Anyone who’s lived here for any amount of time has probably seen all or some of these. Nonetheless they are funny, true, and worth sharing. Feel free to add your own in the comments.

- You’ve discovered that you can get sunburned through a car window.

- You don’t know anyone who owns a raincoat or galoshes.

Check out Angela. I don’t agree that Vegas is ugly, per se, but she’s funny.

Ain’t #8 the truth?

For some reason, the bridge one cracked me up.
All good reasons I have yet to go to Vegas, except for a brief stopover in the airport which was pretty frustrating. I mean, I was wearing my pedometer, so I’m not exaggerating when I say I walked over a mile, plus up and down stairs, to my next gate!
Yeah, not fun. Lived in Henderson once. Amazingingly hot.
Cracked up at #7. We have the heat here in FL, and the humidity AND rain! Still want to go visit Vegas one day!
Suddenly I’m grateful for Cleveland weather, never thought that would happen!
Boy, I can relate to your vid. If you add extremely unfriendly people – and below zero temps in the winter – you’ve got Denver.
I say to D. – is it just Denver? or is it this time?
Maybe it’s just this time.
Thanks all. Claudia, you think Denver folk are unfriendly? I loved it when I was up there.
Oh how I LOVE Las Vegas! I wish I could move there. The Chicago Winters are just getting to be too long…. sigh.. great list!
That video was hilarious. Regarding #10, we dumped a ton of ice in the pool once for a July 4th BBQ. It was a little too warm to be refreshing. We had to “freshen” the water up a bit before taking a dip.
Yep, yep and double yep….all true!
I just got back from Vegas and it is amazing how quickly you get used to the fact that you can go from place to place carrying an open beer bottle in your hand. For that alone, I love your city. Love it. Love it. *Hic*… Love it.
Fellow Las Vegan here (former Bostonian), delurking to Say I totally agree and to add: 14. You get excited at the possibility of a rain shower (and in my case I go out and stand in it!)
