Las Vegas: It was not cafe society, it was Nescafe society
NOEL COWARD
attributed, Vera of Las Vegas
What they wanted was Monte Carlo. They didn't want Las Vegas. What they got was Las Vegas.
STUART MENDELSON
London Times, May 29, 1978
Mostly, Las Vegas is just good fun, cheerfully ersatz -- why not build an Eiffel Tower and a New York skyline? -- though the Strip has for some years been developing in a way that almost nobody could have seen coming: tastefully.

"At Home in Vegas", National Review, October 3, 2017
Luxurious and lowbrow. Restrained and flamboyant. Antique and ultra-mod. Fashion loves gutsy juxtaposition, and so does Las Vegas.

"Spring Style: The Season Gets Electric in Main Street's Indie Fashion Corridor", Las Vegas Weekly, March 17, 2016
Las Vegas exists chiefly to satisfy the needs and desires of its visitors, and this it does in spectacular fashion. Sin City has taken or re-created the best that other great cities have to offer and then upped the ante -- making it bigger, grander, flashier.
SCOTT DOGGETT
Lonely Planet Las Vegas
March in Las Vegas is like no other time of year. The air is warm but crisp, the sky is bright and the sun hasn't yet pulled its yearly Lenny by crushing us beneath its heat and proclaiming, "I had some little friends, but they don't move no more."
MIRANDA BOYD
"The weather's right for outdoor drinking in Las Vegas", Lights Vegas Action, March 10, 2016
In my view, the greatest trick ever pulled by anyone on the planet was Vegas -- and now the rest of the US -- convincing the club scene youngsters that it's a good idea to spend $400 on a $20 bottle of vodka to sit in a so-called VIP area, served by a waitress who's mainly comprised of plastic and makeup, all to look ever so slightly down on the non-VIP guests, who generally have exactly the same disposable income but are having their VIP experience the night before or the night after.
PAUL SCULPHER
"Las Vegas risks pricing itself out of the market", Gambling Insider, March 23, 2016
I think the problem with Vegas is Las Vegas is trying to escape from itself, either rewrite history or make new history. All these properties that started Las Vegas, nothing's there anymore.
CORY COOPER
"Elvis no longer a major draw for Las Vegas tourism", Fox News, March 16, 2016
The brand of Las Vegas is adult freedom, and our campaigns reflect that brand. The 'What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas' is still a wildly popular slogan and lauded as one of the top tourism-related campaigns of all time.

"Family-friendly Sin City: What does Las Vegas have for kids?", Las Vegas Review-Journal, March 27, 2016
Las Vegas is maybe the fastest-changing city in the country. Major resorts are built and blown up on a regular basis, making way for the new "next best thing" to come to town.

"3 Projects That Will Totally Change the Las Vegas Strip", The Motley Fool, March 19, 2016
No one thinks Las Vegas is real; it is illusion, but visitors willingly suspend disbelief and pretend.
HAL ROTHMAN
Neon Metropolis
In Las Vegas, people seem to believe, the prosperity spawned by tourism and gaming can make them whole, financially and spiritually. Las Vegas now melds fun, work, and wealth, showing a path toward the brightest vistas of the post-industrial world. It is the first city of the twenty-first century.
HAL ROTHMAN
introduction, The Grit Beneath the Glitter
Las Vegas is like that, a place that resonates in such a way that wouldn't now if the place is real.
IAN ASTBURY
"The Cult's Ian Astbury brings the fire, but can simmer, too", Las Vegas Sun, May 19, 2016
Mainly, Las Vegas is like a big, cheerful Rancho Mirage with a more convenient airport and without the hassles of living in California.
KEVIN D. WILLIAMSON
"At Home in Vegas", National Review, October 3, 2017
There's really only one constant in Las Vegas and that's change.
TRAVIS HOIUM
"3 Projects That Will Totally Change the Las Vegas Strip", The Motley Fool, March 19, 2016
Las Vegas is the most malleable tourist destination on the planet. It holds up a figurative mirror to visitors and asks, "What do you want to be, and what will you pay to be it?"
HAL ROTHMAN
Neon Metropolis
It shouldn't come as a shock that Las Vegas has a dark side. A secret about the valley -- which really isn't much of a secret if you can decode the messages behind the overly sexualized billboards.
SANDY LOPEZ
"Is Las Vegas a good place to raise a family?", Las Vegas Review-Journal, March 27, 2016
Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world, where sleep is a mere inconvenience interrupting a continuous stream of fun and hedonism, and where everything is bigger, louder, flashier and trashier than anywhere else in the world.
JACKIE STADDON & HILARY WESTON
Fodor's 25 Best Las Vegas
So much of Las Vegas falls under the heading "it has to be seen to be believed."
JEFF MAGUIRE
"Las Vegas is mostly fake but it's good fake", Inside Ottawa Valley, March 18, 2016
