Squirtit...what are you talking about "DO NOT, EVER, present yourself as a local."

That is insane. This is a pretty normal city except for one tiny section called "the strip".
And everywhere in this town are LOCAL deals. Locals eat and drink 1/2 price at The Rio for instance. Similar stuff like that all over town.

Live in a trailer park? WTF??? lol

Unless you are a tourist paying $17 for a well brand drink and blowing thousands going to the "nightclubs" at the big casinos...living here is as cheap as when I lived in South Carolina.

It's exactly the same as living most everywhere else I've ever lived. The only difference is gambling is legal and the casinos are open 24 hours a day.

You will be hard pressed to find many locals (out of the over 2 MILLION people who live here) who actually go to the strip or EVER go to a Casino at 3 in the morning.

Most people in Vegas work normal 9 to 5 jobs, have kids, etc.

I know in the movies and in books it seems that the strip IS Vegas. But it's not. It's just a tiny, tiny section of a big city (geographically as well as population).
