I have a hard time believing gaming doesn't provide _huge_ contributions to favorable politicians. I feel like you've got something to say, and maybe something really interesting. But what you've got if awfully vague.

Ideologically Clark County has changed from the influx of Silicon Valley influences starting in the 90s, which is why we have CES here.
Financially the strips have massive amounts of money flowing into it from every angle. Construction is booming and housing cannot keep up with the demand. If you view LV from the surface then it seems like the economy is trashed - lower travel rates, millennials are not into gaming as much, and the virtualization of gaming is competing. But the reality is business for "living" is doing better than ever before.
