You know you’re in the “other” Vegas when…
…the only buffet in town is a potluck at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and you’re not a member.
…the only slot machines are newspaper boxes, and your biggest gamble is whether the Optic is worth fifty cents that day.
…the “ladies of the night” are cashiers working third shift at Wal-Mart.
…the strip is called Grand Avenue and the closest thing to the Bellagio’s dancing water fountain is the spray blowin’ through the bays at Trujillo’s U-Do car wash.
…you’re looking for the famous Flamingo Hotel and Casino so you can attend Toni Braxton’s dazzling show, but you end up in the back room of the Hillcrest looking at the KFUN Radio Tower out on the Great Plains and don’t have a clue what’s on the air.
…you think Wayne Newton’s show has run a long time, but you pull up to the Serf Theatre on Douglas and the marquee reads “In Her Shoes.” Wow, that came out in 2005! Eat your heart out, Wayne!
…the “loosest” thing in town are the stray dogs.
…you hand your keys to the “valet” in front of the Plaza Hotel, and the next morning when you ask the desk clerk to have him fetch your car, she hurriedly calls the State Police.
…the biggest show of the year involves judging jars of jelly and trotting pigs at the county fair. Yee haw!
…instead of an Elvis impersonator, you get someone named Manny pretending he can run a university.
