Never been there and have no desire to go.
I did have a friend, now deceased, that had a great love of Las Vegas that made several trips there every year.
He had the screen name here on FR of Las Vegas Dave.
It’s bad rhetoric. Instead of starting with a point all of us would agree with [Marxists in local gubmint destroying their cities] he starts with a point that many of us disagree with. Why? To draw us in and win us over?
The greatest city on Earth? Really, have you forgotten Rome, Paris, Istanbul and Jerusalem. I lived there in the seventies when it was a cow town with a few casinos. It was great, no taxes, no car insurance, you could by a gun in a gas station, no traffic, no speed limits. Now it’s just like L.A. It’s lost it’s soul. I remember having to put on a sport coat to eat on the strip. You could walk around downtown 24/7 and feel safe because the the Metro Police had their own cemetery in the desert. I have family there, I’m sorry it’s taken the brunt of the Covid economic depression, but the greatest city on Earth? I don’t think so.
