casinogamblingrules.com

The Empty Interior is the region that is home to Las Vegas. According to our textbook, Las Vegas is owned by The Bureau of Land Management and other Federal agencies (258). In other words none of the Las Vegas land is owned by the public. The reason that the government controls most of the land is because Las Vegas does not really contain national parks, or even have a natural environment. Even though Las Vegas does not really have an environmental section to preserve, one thing that Las Vegas does have is alot of tourists. Las Vegas economy is fueled by its gaming industry which brings over $800 million in revenue a month. Legalised in 1931, gambling became more than just a game of high stakes, it became an industry. Even though many people are still visiting Vegas the most recent economic recession has taken its toll on the city. Gambling revenues are down 4 percent, and many construction projects have been placed on hold. Despite all of the financial restraints, Las Vegas has still managed to keep up with the recession and still display what we call the theme of Las Vegas which is the bright lights of the city.
