I wouldn't say it's importation, considering I'm not saying "GAIS YOU NEED OT DO SOMETHING". I'm just informing.

huh, I didn't think Berry liked her booze that much...

Did I ever tell ya how sexy your horn is, Twilight?

I wonder which episode this is from?

People wanted to live here because there was a huge construction boom in the 90s. As casinos rose up, they needed shops, and the shops needed houses, and kids living there needed schools, etc. So houses and property were cheap to build over desert and things weren't too bad. But things almost never improve due to lacking of public funding and 30% of the budget goes into the big projects. And when the economy fell apart... Well, we were almost screwed harder than everyone else. We have no steady renewable incomes, so rely on tourists for the vast majority of our budget. If no one comes here to gamble away their savings, then there's nothing to eventually trickle down to us. Unemployment is still at 14%, forclosure is still high, and we're probably going to be the last economy to get back up and running.

Sorry about the rant, I just get sick of people assuming we have it rich down here.

I wonder what Los Pegasus is like now :V

Is this Bad Day: Pony Thread or something? Yikes.

After that shooting on the Strip a few days ago and all the stuff popular culture has ripped Vegas for (more churches than any other city in the US due to people getting drunk and deciding "LET'S GET MARRIED :D", gambling, stuff like that) I'm not surprised.

Los Pegasus should be a sleazy place if we ever see it.

I was thinking a glitzy pegasus cloud city with the skyscrapers under the cloud casinos being the hotels and "other" amenities.

Sheep privation? Mah sheep are fine!

Considering this is Equestria I'd say that Los Pegasus is like the Strip everywhere, without all the crime and whatnot.

1. Isn't "Los Pegasus" implies to be the Equestrian counterpart to Los Angeles? The official map shows it with a "Hollywood" style sign.

2. I doubt they'd be able to get away with a Las Vegas equivalent. If they had to sneak references to drinking in under the radar, gambling would be tough to get through.

@JT: They already have the Ponywood though.

And I thought I had it bad when I unfairly got failing grades on my homework.

MA Larson said it was supposed to be Vegas, but obviously someone decided differently later. It works better as Los Angeles anyway.

My sister and brother-in-law went to Las Vegas a couple of years ago, and weren't prepared for how hot it was. I forget what month they went.

I couldn't live in a place where the temperature hits 120. How do you even breathe in that?

And instead of gambling for bits, ponies mostly do it because it's fun. Competitions are for having friendly rivalries, pegasi can give rides up to the top of the towers, and unicorns use magic to make the lights and fireworks at night.

@Ace: Looking at the ol' map, the sign is 'Applewood', for some reason. The Apple family must run things down there.

AJ's Cousin Appleberg is a big shot director and producer.

You sort of get used to it. Though it's common to pass out waters to anyone who needs it. The poor homeless are often found passed out from dehydration or worse. So it's fairly common for the nicer guys to let people into their houses if only for some drinks and the air conditioning. People can die out here if their unprepared.

Finally broke down and am in the process of watching "Magical Mystery Cure"

So if they have supposedly been doing these things since they got their cutie mark (as rarity states) despite having only had their marks just changed.... would they still be that terrible? I mean... you do get better at things you suck at over time... you might not master them but you'd still be better than complete failure.

Unless there was no time change... and they just think that they've always been that way.

Make it so.

That's what I assumed as well.

That's how I interpreted it.

It seemed like the spell retconned their pasts to me.

Twilight knows something's wrong, so it's not a reality shift to that degree.
