Things I Will Probably Miss About Las Vegas
- No open-container laws
- having access to a hot tub
- that distinct casino smell, a mix of booze and cigarettes and broken dreams
- maid service once a week
- the incredibly tall monolith buildings that I am still in awe of
- Fremont street and the Heart Attack Grill
- dollar beers at crappy bars
- Ass Juice
- how fast one dries off after getting out of the pool or the shower, or after sweating
- strangely, my job, and I guess the sense that I'm actually doing some good with my job by raising money for charities (Pam concurs, respectively)
- Palermo's Pizza
- Jack-in-the-Box and Raising Cane's Chicken
- cheap buffets
- food shopping
- the friendly folk at the front desk
- a free gym membership, basically
- the sounds (the general cacophony) of a Las Vegas casino and hotel
- and of course, this goes without saying - living with Pam

Things I Miss From Back Home
- Chloe (Pam says can I put Murphy and Fifi as well. Of course!)
- playing softball on Tuesdays
- walking to McNally's in my slippers
- rain, or at least the occasional precipitation
- the Laf
- Wawa sandwiches and iced tea
- driving, especially on the Expressway at night on the way to Center City
- Phillies games (even if they are doing badly), and tailgating
- Pam's apartment (and the queen sized bed)
- all the events we've missed and been bummed out about missing
- McGillan's and the Irish Pub
- Dunkin Donuts being in close proximity to pretty much everywhere
- concerts of music that we would actual enjoy and aren't Pauly D, poolside
- Wildwood, and in general beaches that aren't horribly trashy
- cheesesteaks, pretzels, water ice, duh
- grass and lawns and deciduous / coniferous trees (i.e. not fake palm trees)
- having a reason to buy a keg
- Baby Baluga (the ol' baby blue Camry)
- the funky smell of the Broad Street Line
- house parties (especially as some of my best friends moved into a house together pretty much the day we moved away, and I have a lot of catching up to do)
- going on runs through Burholme and the graveyard
- being proud of the city I live in
- and of course, this goes without saying - all our family and friends that we miss so damn much
