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.

9. Every July 1st, it takes half a day to find your sunglasses and sunscreen.
10. You blame anything that is not right on ex-Californians. - We do that in Vegas, too.
11. You remember the date, severity, time of day, where you were, and how long you were out of power for every winter weather event for the last five years.
