Living in the suburbs of Vegas is surprisingly similar to living in the suburbs of any other big city, except everything around here just seems to be open a few hours later . Maybe I’m just used to Irvine’s 8pm shutdown time.

So, I was feeling pretty at home the other day grocery shopping at Vons. I browsed the titles at the top of the aisles to plot my course: cereal, sugar, canned foods, paper plates and napkins, slot machines…. wait. rewind. WHAT? slot machines???

I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I went there to take a look. Yep. There they were, all in a pretty little row. And there were actually people sitting at them, too!

Who plays slots at Vons??? The hecks? That totally didn’t make any sense to me at all.

Other than that, everything’s been pretty normal. The second I scrounge up enough money I want to go to a buffet, though!!!
