I understand, Can I put 'as if' instead?
You can stay up late tonight. It's not as if you have work tomorrow.

Is this the same use of 'it is like' or 'it is as if'? How could I say this sentence?
This phone is worth $400. If I give it to you, it's as if I am giving you $400 cash.
This phone is worth $400. If I gave it to you, it's as if I was giving you $400 cash.
