Just when everyone was predicting a
severe depression, especially when Atlantic City emerged as a gambling
destination in the early 80s, Las Vegas managed to come up with a new
twist. Even today, with the proliferation of gambling in many of the
50 states, Las Vegas only seems to become more popular. Helicopter
tours above the famous "strip" are the rage.
With The Grand Canyon
and Hoover Dam as neighbors, there is always something to see and do.
Its latest ventures have been in theme hotels, starting with the
Mirage in the late 80s, followed by the Excalibur. Treasure Island,
the Luxor and the MGM Grand soon followed. And more recently the
Stratosphere and the Monte Carlo were built. The newest include the
fabulous Bellagio and the Paris Las Vegas. The Venetian and Mandalay
Bay are also new and exciting venues. When will the boom end?
