The 'fun economy' of Las Vegas and where it's heading | Nevada Public Radio
Here are some highlights from the NPR interview with some leaders of the Vegas region:
The future of the economy is bending in the direction of Las Vegas," he said. "In many ways, Las Vegas has become a global intellectual capital of tomorrow's economy in sectors that are growing, rather than shrinking.
This is a city that attracts more human beings to this plot of Earth than any other plot of earth on Earth," Bernhard added. "The Strip is the most visited tourist site on planet Earth. And everything that has drawn the record levels, 42 million people to Las Vegas during the course of a year, was hatched in the brain of Las Vegas.

Another bright spot for experiences is the Arts District where you will find theaters, galleries, and some of the best restaurants... like Todd English's Pepper Club...
