'9 great quotes about Las Vegas', Las Vegas Review Journal, Nov. 15, 2013
Any other town you go to there's this little devil and a little angel on your shoulder. A little good advice, a little bad advice. You go to Las Vegas, there's like a devil and a devil and they're just battling it out the whole time. It's like, 'Smoke some crack!' 'Get a hooker!' And then I go, 'YEA! Yea, this is a good town. Smoke some crack and get a hooker! Alright!'

Famous Las Vegas Sayings
In the fledgling days of the town, the notorious Block 16 was set aside for card games and prostitution. Sin and commerce have marched hand-in-hand ever since, but this alliance made Las Vegas no more atypical than any other American city of the time. The difference is that Las Vegas extolled with pride what other places sought to hide. To the commonplace culture of heavily populated cities and industrial towns that made up the urban fabric of the country, Las Vegas alone stood as the behavioral 'Other,' a land where the 'victimless' crimes of sex, drink, and gambling were not only condoned, but celebrated.
MARK GOTTDIENER
Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a major family destination. Nevada casinos have become American family values now. It's considered just fine to go into one of these windowless scary gambling-malls, drink yourself silly, lose your ass at roulette, and then go ogle showgirls with breast implants. Republicans do this now. Working-class folks do it in polyester stretch pants. It's normal.
BRUCE STERLING
WIRED Magazine, Nov. 1996
Las Vegas was and is a hard town that will make you pay for your inability to restrain your desires.... If you have a weakness, Las Vegas will punish you.

Las Vegas is the only place I know where money really talks--it says, 'Goodbye.'
FRANK SINATRA
The Joker Is Wild
Las Vegas was like that. There was a visceral attraction here. The bold promise of money and sex. But the first was a broken promise, a mirage, and the second was fraught with danger, expense, physical and mental risk. It was where the real gambling took place in this town.
MICHAEL CONNELLY

[Las Vegas] turns women into men, and men into asses.

Good girls go to Heaven. Bad girls go to Vegas.
ANONYMOUS
Las Vegas history, the real Las Vegas history, makes fops and fools of even the most sincere explorers. The city's story is riddled with blind alleys, dead ends, crazy twists, and outright fabrication.
JOHN L. SMITH
foreward, Nevada Yesterdays
Las Vegas is perhaps the most color-blind, class-free place in America. As long as your cash or credit line holds out, no one gives a damn about your race, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, address, family lineage, voter registration or even your criminal arrest record. Money is the great leveler.
MARC COOPER

Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night.

Las Vegas stinks. It is loud and hot.
JOHN O'BRIEN
Leaving Las Vegas
Of all the major destination towns in the U.S., Las Vegas might be the most perfectly, unashamedly transparent. No other city in North America, after all -- and perhaps no other city in the world -- has for so long been so identified with one pursuit: namely, the heart-pounding, more-often-than-not-futile hunt for the improbable, near-mythic Big Score.
