All true. To be considered also (pertaining in particular to Lost Wages, Nevada), is that observation through an alcoholically induced haze resulting from imbibing one too many (which is to say, two) Shlarmbaff Farpelbobs (at inns that still sureptitiously serve that illegal drink) greatly magnifies the illusion.
