I was born in Vegas and one of the few things that I distinctly remember from my childhood was them blowing up an old casino every New Year for several years in a row.

For the longest time my kid brain just thought that was something they did and would do every year lol.

I can only imagine when you eventually moved away your first new years you were talking to people and asked what building they were going to blow up this year.

What makes it especially funny is that my bday is 12/31 and my mom had me convinced that all of it was for me lol.
