And of course Las Vegas put all their eggs in one basket ... the gaming one ... and neglected diversifying the economic just in the remote case gaming and gambling waned. We all know about the Las Vegas economy, jobs and housing market. Seems there is a point where parallel lines do merge regardless of the math or logic.
