Vegas Vacation or Vegas Massacre? Sorting Through Your Memories
Ah, Las Vegas. The city of lights, the clinking of slot machines, the promise of buffets that would make your arteries weep tears of joy (or maybe that's just heartburn?). But hey, for some of us, Vegas also conjures up memories of a much darker night.
Hold on, was there a shooting in Vegas?
Yep, there sure was. If you're having a foggy memory and mixing up your wild Vegas bachelor party with a mass shooting (hey, stranger things have happened!), then you might be wondering...
What year did that whole Las Vegas shooting thing happen?
Brace yourselves, history buffs (or pop culture enthusiasts who remember the news cycle): it was way back in 2017. That's right, folks. It's been a while!
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Why can't I remember the year?
Honestly, because 2017 feels like both yesterday and a lifetime ago. Time is a weird thing, man. Plus, there have been way too many darn shootings in the news since then.
But hey, at least you're trying to remember! Here's a handy trick:
Think about what you were obsessed with in 2017. Was it fidget spinners? The endless drama of the Kardashian-Jenner clan? Those weird avocado hand things? (Those were a thing, right?).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
Still drawing a blank? Don't sweat it!
