Never said it wasn't. I am just challenging your "so Goes America" take. It's an outlier. An island of hedonism, heat and dust with 24 hour buffets surrounded by an ocean of work-a-day"regular" folks that are growing crops, building cars, raising kids and just generally navigating "regular" life. But it certainly is not a sentinel for the rest of America.
Don't get me wrong, I sorta like Vegas - in small doses. I've actually made a few bucks playing in small time poker tournaments there. But the wife pretty much hates it. The place makes her feel sad. I get that. Though she does enjoy the fountains at The Bellagio.
