the suburbs are creeping out further and further, taking over, but there will always be desert. much further and you’re in the mountains. (you can see the beacon from the luxor from anywhere in the city, you can always find your way to the strip, but- is that better, than being somewhere that you know? somewhere that’s the same wherever you go?) and then of course if you step too far outside you’re in the desert. it’s all the same and it’s all normal, in defiance of the neon of the strip. if you’ve been inside one school you can navigate them all. even the schools - there are two major architectural blueprints for high schools in las vegas. the houses are identical wherever you go. barely anything outside the strip is more than two, maybe three storeys. but then you get outside the strip and you’re in the suburbs. and the casinos are different but they’re all the same underneath, slots and shows and roulette wheels, the same bones in different bodies. you know they intentionally don’t put clocks in casinos? and they put mirrors wherever they can? they’re trying to disorient you so you stay inside. there’s the strip, obviously, the hypnosis of the casinos. Las vegas is a special kind of horrifying compared to the rest of the southwest because you get three different flavors of horror all together.
