Actually, I have heard that Vegas has more churches per capita than any major city....but checking Google I came up with a link ( http://www.lvlife.com/dec1998/ features/story02.html ) that says, "Those who believe Las Vegas has the most churches per capita are in for a revelation. 'I would guess that there are 200 cities in America that have made that claim,' says UNLV sociology professor Donald Carns. 'When people perceive that they live in a sinful environment, they beef up the holy side. It's a standard sort of thing, the way we relate to our moralities and the sense of security that it gives.'" So who knows...

LOL Having a lot of Elvis chappels and marriages, doesn't instill morality. I still love that city though.

It would be a fairly simple matter to just get a Las Vegas telephone book and count the churches listed there...
