Pawn Shop
Before I came to Vegas, I thought I would find amazing deals and variety in the Pawn shops here. Nope, only on stuff nobody wants - like old TV's.

Its about the money, honey
Impressively, this is a far more spiritual book than I expected.
I flipped through it years ago, but I dont think I was ready for it. Although I picked it up in part because of Warren Buffet's recommendation as essential reading.

Things I Didnt Realize till I got to Vegas
- It is cold here.
Yes, it is part of the Mojave desert and 2 inches of rain is a FLOOD. Yes, it can get to 120 degrees in the summer. But it snows in the mountains around the valley, winter doesnt end in February and although it may get mild during the day, you bring a jacket for the nights.
I hate cold. Seriously thinking of living in South Florida during the winter.
-- Las Vegas is not South.
Las Vegas is north of Los Angeles. It is north of Arizona. New Mexico. Utah is a next door state, not north. No wonder it gets cold.
- Most Las Vegas isnt in Las Vegas
The Las Vegas Strip is south of the actual City of Las Vegas. Most of what people think of Las Vegas is in the unincorporated City of Paradise, NV in Clark County.
But the zip codes say Las Vegas.
-- Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas.
It is actually illegal in Clark County. In other counties, not so much - hence the legal brothels.
So, why all the prostitution ads in Vegas?
Its complicated.
-- Everybody plays Vegas.
Think of every star, comedian and musician youve forgotten or wondered what happened to them - chances are theyre playing gigs in Vegas for rent money.
And I do mean everybody.
-- Its a pretty cool place to be
Never in my life did I think I would park in Vegas. But I like it.

Leonardo, NJ
If you loved the movie Clerks, you know this store.
Think Jay and Silent Bob, hanging out in front of the video store and the Quick Stop.
