To live under the threat, the citizens inherit a citywide tunnel vision. Alcohol consumption can enhance tunnel vision. Narcotics are a key source of the psychology. Not all people are narrow minded, but their mind evolves to accept the life in Las Vegas. The dangers are considered normal. The dangers are oddly treated like the way business is done in cities around the world. The tangible world becomes frightening for some. Southern California beaches have police. Those police often arrest kids vacationing from Las Vegas. The kids in Las Vegas get anxious when they are away from the casino city. The traffic in Los Angeles, the parking problem along Sunset Boulevard, and the metaphors have a different lifestyle attached. Once raised in Las Vegas, walking away becomes impossible. The environment outside of Las Vegas seems to function with a different set of rules. The rhetoric in Las Vegas can come off as risky. Subjects associated with law and order put people on guard outside of Las Vegas, because the Nevada outlaw mentality doesn't fit in the business model of an employment plan outside of Sin City. Local Las Vegas kids going to college in other states enjoy the stories about crime, the mafia rhetoric, and parables presented in pop culture, but the figure of speech doesn't help students earn good grades. Performance, work, the quality of life, outside of Las Vegas these issues are discussed, and students are trained to perform so the anxiety to outside pressures turns into a hustle. Conceit comes off as arrogance, but in Las Vegas pride is a self-defense mechanism.
