Everything thinks Vegas is a bunch of casinos and a couple golf courses...but get out to where "the people live" and you'll see the for sale signs littering up the landscape....some of which have been there almost 2-3 years now...
Lance, I don't think most of us were denegrating the "real" Vegas or the people who live there --- anyone who pays attention knows how badly Vegas has crashed.
I think people are just likely to talk about "Vegas" in terms of the casinos and clubs - and more specifically the strip - because that's *their* interaction with Vegas. Same as they'll think "South Beach" when they talk Miami - or Disney/Universal when they talk Orlando.

How the hell are ya?
