What's in a name? Absurdity, presumptuousness in Las Vegas

"Oh yes, we live in Green Saddle Ridge Desert Vista Pointe..." is the headline on one of the more on-target articles in the Las Vegas Sun in a long time, dealing in this instance with names of real estate developments in the valley.

"Judging by the names of Las Vegas communities, we live in Italian villas, or in the hills of Scotland, or in homes overlooking meadows, forests or the Pacific Ocean," ventures the piece by Brendan Buhler in the April 14 edition page one feature.

For a good horse laugh, tune in the feature and its revealing sidebar.
