When my siblings and I were kids [a good thirty years ago], our parents would take occasional weekend trips with their bowling league to Las Vegas. They told us that Las Vegas is in Nevada. Well, just one block east of us, there was a street called... Guess what? NEVADA. We used to wander up and down that street looking for Las Vegas and our parents.
