I've never been to Las Vegas but I love it in concept because it sounds so made up. Imagine if you were reading a fantasy novel and they were like "smack in the middle of a deadly inhospitable desert there is a glittering city of indulgence and lawlessness and cheap sin that has specifically engineered itself to obfuscate your sense of time and keep you there as long as possible while they take all your valuables." You'd be like yeah that's some wizard shit.

If that was in a novel, you'd go "now the author is going a little heavy on the dystopian capitalism narrative, isn't he? Who would do something so stupid and get away with it in real life?"

The mafia, The guys who were constantly in trouble for trying to make money decided to start a sin city where they we’re in charge of the laws…and all the money.

cheap sin

Funny, but nothing is cheap in Vegas. I'm surprised the sidewalks don't charge for admission.

Relative to the price of eternal damnation, it's not too bad.

Check out the 1994 “The Stand” miniseries or read the book by Stephen King. It explores the idea of the main bad guys and their leader, who is essentially the devil, taking up residence in Las Vegas.

Yes, it definitely is. Also in most dnd games, probably. Art imitating life.

You know just how far away from The Law that place was when the mob got its' claws on it? That's also the land where polygamy remained a standard practice until relatively recently.

Are you talking about Vegas specifically? Or is that just a reference to the idea that Utah is in that same general western-US desert area?

Same remoteness that drew so many peculiar types there, out of necessity to do the things that they wanted to do.
