With either an expired or fake ID, your odds of getting caught are pretty high. There's formal training on this provided to all staff, especially bartenders, servers, security and management. I'm sorry your birthday is behind your friends by just months, but waiting until next time will mean it's your personal big experience as well as the legal aspect.
Even if it were a legit ID, you wouldn't get in if it's expired. So a fake expired ID is definitely not going to pass in Vegas. The Vegas resorts and casinos have a lot to lose if caught with underage people drinking and gambling, so they take it very seriously.
They have the best trained bouncers and use the best technology. You really have no chance, and you'll very likely lose your ID. If that ID belongs to someone else, as opposed to being a fake with your picture and info, you'll be taken to jail.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
