37. Dunno if it qualifies as stupid, but how about Las Vegas, New Mexico?

Talk about confusing!

[sundog]

49. Yes, I know all about this place! It's a sham!

People try to deceive you by saying their *from* or *moving to* Las Vegas (and conveniently leave the *New Mexico* out of the equation).

It's one of those desert towns with one grocery store & a gas station.

[Ron Green]

54. Hey, Las Vegas, NM was an old and beautiful city before the other Las

Vegas even EXISTED. Kerry and Edwards made a railroad stop there early in their campaign together, and many from Northern New Mexico turned out for it.

[sundog]

Thanks for the info --

I actually have only driven thru, but the contrast of the two Vegas cracks me up. I am very familiar with small town life in New Mexico.
