You Know You’ve Been in Las Vegas Too Long When…

10. Dealers and other players start asking you where you work.

9. You actually come close to using some of those comp show tickets.

8. The teller at your bank’s local branch no longer asks for your ID.

7. Although your standards for “dirty” continue to slide, you have a laundry near a
     casino you think of as “yours.”

6. You’ve awakened from at least one dream where you were held hostage by a
      gun-wielding Debby Reynolds, Wayne Newton, or Steve Wynn.

5. You need an extra suitcase for your stash of hotel toiletries.

4. Daily fluffing and buffing seems like too much trouble. As you abandon
     shaving, make-up, and jewelry, your reflection looks amazingly like the
     stereotypical counter.

3. You take to carrying a hotel shower cap for surreptitiously wrapping buffet
     brownies to take to your room.

2. You’ve been to a mall—even if it was just to buy clean underwear. (drum roll,
     please)

1. You’ve stopped ordering an appetizer and dessert with every entrée when on a
     coffee shop comp.
