Alright people, some background of where I am from.
I live in the "wonderful" city of Las Vegas, Nevada. This is a place that has much to offer toward children, endless things toward adults, and nothing towards teenagers, especially the 18-20 crowd (me).
There are no underage clubs in the Vegas valley (trust me, I tried to email the local Government to request a teen club and got nothing). Essnetially, that limits me to house parties and in general I do not like them. School Club nights are ridiculous in that they only play loud and obnoxious rap and hip hop (I am an Electronica guy). The University barely caters to the underage crowd.
It works like this; the Vegas economy gathers most of its revenue toward adults. Teen Clubs have been around in the mid 90's but since there was no alcohol or gambling, there was little business, and since Adults provide more revenue than teens, the clubs went bye bye.
There was a water park, theme park, miniture golf hangout with arcade, numerous lan centers, and incredible independent arcades that all fell victim to Vegas revenue and were forced to close its doors. This leaves very little for people like me to do on a Friday and Saturday night (I am a hardcore gamer, but I would much rather be kicking it Saturday night instead of playing Capcom vs. SNK 2.)
A short list of teen hangouts that have closed since 2001 in Vegas:
MGM Grand Theme Park
Wet n' Wild (turned into Condo Development)
Scandia (same as former)
Gameland Arcade (now a church, not even kidding)
Mary K's arcade
Planet X1 Lan Center
Cyber X Lan Center
Sancturary Teen Club
Tremorz
All American Sports Park
And that is the short list. There is basically nothing for teens to do in this city. There is nowhere I can go to dance, and there are no lounges to sit and socialize (with the exception of a VERY nice coffee lounge outside the strip, but is in the process of obtaining a liquor license which means no more hangout for me).
Onto the subject of Fake I.D.'s, not in Vegas. Forget getting into a club in a Strip casino, because it will not work. These casinos are near flawless in catching cheating gamblers, and have done the same with underage patrons.
Basically, when I hang out with friends I am limited to chilling at a house, seeing a movie, going bowling, playing pool or drinking coffee at a Starbucks. For me, finding a girl outside of school or my extracirriculars is very hard.
