Interesting. Worth a track, I think.
The confirmed equestrian name for las vegas is las pegasus, just so you know
Lul, I'm getting a shenanigans vibe on this story. Can't wait to see how this pans out.
1064062 i thought las pegasus was the pony version of los angeles
Indent your paragraphs with the tab key, and separate each paragraph by a single blank line. Also, I find that using the "* * *" is easier on the eyes than a -x-. Other than that, great writing!
A veritable shenaniganza. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this.

No, it's Las Pegasus. The creator of the name said it wasn't his best pun.
1064458
Maybe that's what he said in an interview but the offical map of Equestria has Applewood in Los Pegasus and its a coastal city not a desert one. So its Los Angeles
Look Here
1064542 Oh dear, this gonna throw a lot of fanfics in chaos

So Hasbro now has to choices. They either turn las pegasus into las vegas like the writer said, or they go with the map they made which threw us for a loop.
Hasbro, what we gonna do with you?
A most interesting premise.
Definitely favouriting this. 
And Twi's pinning for someone in Canterlot?
My money's on a certain princess. 
And now we know how the unicorn with the broken horn broke it...which sucks for twilight.
Utterly fascinating. (I read up on nominative determinism a few years back, with of course no idea that I'd be seeing it again.)
And this -- "Sufficiently advanced apathy is indistinguishable from fate" -- is the line of the day.
Oh, shit. Oh, man.
This is a fucking fabulous fic.
Well unless the next chapter reveals things to not be nearly as bad as they currently appear the tragedy and dark tags will be necessary in short order.
A "Twilight becomes a reality warper" fanfic? Never seen that before, and I like it when I encounter ideas I've never seen.
I'm getting the feeling that somehow this all wasn't just Twilight. It seems too planned like there is another individual pulling the strings as well as Twilight.
I'm really hoping this doesn't go down the 'Twilight loses her magic' route that so many other stories have.
Still, a very good chapter.
I lul'd.
I lul'd even harder.
I almost fell out of my seat.
Didn't see reality warping coming. I like it.
i liked it, i just wondered why one Guard ate his armor ... was it chocolate? then i may understand.
EDIT: Ah now i understand. i didn't connect the two information completely.
Now I know what to do when a friend's magic goes out of control.

There's always an excuse to have an extra chair around.
Now that was sweet.
"You hit her with a chair!" That was perfect, I was laughing for 5 min. straight.
I don't mean quite laughing, I mean holding my gut, rolling on the ground, tears pouring out
my eyes, out loud mad cackling.
I tip my hat good sir.
That was one of the better stories that I have read on FIMFiction this month; heck, this year. Bravo.
Why don't you have a mane 6 tag, and an OC tag?
I was bending reality to my will
, but then I took a chair to the head
Wait... Where did she get the chair? -hic-
Holy crap! That was awesome! It was down right

Luna kept her ear pressed to the door until she heard the soft, wet smack.
They decided to begin their relationship by hitting Twilight in the head with a wet rag.

this. this exactly.
Really liked it.
Looking forward reading more from you!
"You hit her with a chair." <= Most brilliant sentence I've read in a long while. I was laughing my ass off, a mental image of a deadpan Luna staring at her sister in disbelief, kinda like the Tenth Doctor's "What. *stares* What. *stares some more* What?!"
This sentence alone is worth a favorite, and the whole story is absolutely fantastic - and adorable
I'll be watchin' ya, boy.
Will there be more tales of Twilight's explorations in divination? Cause I would be very interested in reading them.
I think you should check the formating of this story though, in many places it looks like a new line starts where there should not be one.
Naaaarf!
Poit
Immortal, wise, celestial goddess... and she knows when to hit a pony with a chair! What's not to like?
Celestia, bringer of the sun and smasher of chairs.
Hero Rule 4876. Keep at least one extra chair handy in case you need to hit someone with it.
“You hit her with a chair.”
Good job. You succeeded in making me burst out laughing, clapping at your brilliance.
That doesn't happen often.
Admittedly, I'm not a very big Twilestia fan. Can't really get into it. However, I must also admit I like how you worked the ship.
Discord would've been proud, so much potential chaos at a hoof's reach
As she shuffled the Arcana, Twilight kept the question what happened between me and Luna foremost in her mind.
?
That should be "to", not "too".
"their", not "there".
Just a bit of a nitpick, and I know I'm wayyyy late to the party, but whatever.
Rarity's magic is a light blue. And also lose the second 'a'.
Lovely Ridcully cameo there.
I love how Celestia just reacted with a chair.

Agreed! A sequel would be most appreciated!
First: Can we have some more?!!!
1609659 Thanks for the open mind (Rant involving all ships below)
There is no such a thing as a "Best Ship" There are un-workable ships and then there are the ships that can work, those range from bad to wonderful, all depending on how well they are written.
There are many ships I have seen written well just as many cringe worthy ones, the question is if the writer can make you think that it would work and set it up right, many get one of those two wrong (Especially in the big ships) when they try to add to their favorite ship since they already have in their head why it makes a good ship and why it would work out, etc. So they don't explain.
Tl;Dr: A ship is a story element you can use it well or poorly, which is the only difference between a good ship and a bad one. (Also I may want to make a blog/book on writer's tips)
I've just been on a Twilestia kick, and to be honest I've been reading a lot of stories that feel a bit weaker than my usual fare, but which I've been enjoying anyway because of the subject matter.
This was not like that at all. I loved every moment of this. Las Haygas and Twilight's night out with her friends were written fantastically. The whole magic system inherent to the cards was fascinating, and I loved the little bits of world-building you worked in with both the other gambling systems and their links to the pony races, as well as Luna in this chapter. The characters were also really on point - we had maybe to or three lines each for most of the Mane 6, but they came through better than in some stories where they have starring roles, and Twilight herself felt like a natural extension of her show self. Luna was great too, and the whole sisterly dynamic after Celestia hit Twilight with a chair, which was hilarious felt very real. Last but not least, the way you gave an almost slice-of-life story an exciting climax that tied into the premise was a stroke of brilliance.
Fantastic job.
Want it need it.
