Are there any other Desert Rats around besides lilMunchkin and me?  What is Queen Creek, Arizona close to?

Y'know, it's kinda nice coming from such a recognizable city....I can go anywhere, and simply say I"m from Las Vegas and people immediately ask me if I deal cards.  Now, while the question may be a bit old, tired, worn. beaten to death....it means they know the place I'm talking about.

People from Las Vegas, New Mexico have to actually say which state...<insert smirk here>.
