I live in a bowl not a valley

According to the noon weather person, I live in a bowl not a valley. I have lived in Las Vegas for over 30 years and I have always referred to the Las Vegas Valley. However, I found out today that it is not the Las Vegas Valley, it is the Las Vegas Bowl. You see, a valley has mountains on only two sides. Las Vegas has mountains on all four sides, therefore it is a bowl and not a valley.

Now, when people ask me where I live, I can tell them I live in the Las Vegas Bowl. That ought to get some interesting responses. I can just imagine my brother asking me if I pour milk over myself of a morning instead of taking a shower. And just think of all the sports fans who are going to ask me what team I play on.
