    1. "Wait, there are people from Vegas?"

    Yah.

    2. "Like, people live there?"

    bbc.co.uk / Via sims.wikia.com

    Yes. About 2 million, in fact.

    3. "Do you live in casinos?"

    fox.com / Via glee.wikia.com

    No.

    4. "What about hotels?"

    cwtv.com / Via vampirediaries.wikia.com

    Again, no.

    5. "....strip clubs?"

    waltdisneystudios.com / Via malinhallkvist.tumblr.com

    No. We have houses, apartments, and other places to live. Just like any other major metropolitan area.

    6. "Is your mom a showgirl?"

    Are you serious?

    7. "What about a cocktail waitress?"

    cwtv.com / Via sidekickcast.com

    I'm sure someone's mom was a cocktail waitress or dealer.

    8. "Your parents were drug dealers?"

    Card. Dealers.

    9. "So, do you live in Vegas Vegas or, like, just outside of Vegas?"

    You're probably thinking of The Strip, which is a very decorated road off of Las Vegas Boulevard. Some people live around there. The rest of us live on every other street that makes up the city, and its suburbs.

    10. "Whatever. Either way, it was CRAZY growing up, right?"

    bbc.co.uk / Via imgbuddy.com

    Not really.

    11. "Didn't you hang out on the the Strip, like, every day?"

    logotv.com / Via wifflegif.com

    You can't hang out at most places on The Strip without a parent or guardian if you're under the age of 18.

    12. "I bet you partied ALL THE TIME."

    bravotv.com / Via realitytvgifs.tumblr.com

    We mostly hung out at the mall. Or, you know, school.

    13. "THERE ARE SCHOOLS THERE?"

    fox.com / Via gurl.com

    Yes.

    14. "....in casinos?"

    cbs.com / Via uwosh.edu

    NO.

    15. "....are you sure?"

    nbc.com / Via gifreactions.tumblr.com

    OK, look, fine -- most of us have our graduation ceremonies at one of the big casino-hotels. BUT WE DID NOT RECEIVE OUR EDUCATION THERE.

    16. "Sure, whatever. What about college? You have trade schools, right? For gambling?"

    oxygen.com / Via dontyoucallyourhusbanddaddy.tumblr.com

    Er...yes. But also universities and community colleges.

    17. "So, are you, like, a professional at gambling?"

    bravotv.com / Via elitedaily.com

    Unfortunately not.

    18. "I wish I was from a place that cool."

    nbc.com / Via meetatthebarre.blogspot.com

    Yeah, 'cause living on the surface of the sun is a real blast.

    19. "Where should I go when I visit?"

    nbc.com / Via glee.wikia.com

    Well, there's Starbucks, Target, Krispy Kreme, Town Square shopping center...

    20. "No, what do you do for fun."

    warnervideo.com / Via rebloggy.com

    Oh...avoid The Strip and play video games.

    21. "Do you at least go to the shows?"

    nbc.com / Via bdtlreactiongifs.tumblr.com

    Sure, for prom and stuff. Discounts with local ID. SUCKAS.

    22. "So, what was it like growing up there?"

    Pretty normal! We probably did the same stuff you did, but in tank tops. With scene kids.

    23. "What's the best part about living there?"

    Honestly? Hanging out with friends and discovering all the places you never hear about on TV.
