Area 15, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Hoover dam, No lack of family-friendly shows, alien tourist traps, a ghost town, grand Canyon spots, the sphere. If you’re looking for sex and gambling, it still exists, but you don’t have to walk down the street beside it for the most part.
There is no water, Las Vegas will most certainly die.
Water is not a detail and it isn’t an option that can be ignored.

The Southwest United States is currently facing its worst megadrought of the past 1,200 years. According to a recent study from The University of Texas at Austin, the drought could continue at least until the end of the century, if not longer.
Although some scientists anticipate that natural climate variability will bring relief, new research suggests that ongoing warming could be disrupting the natural rhythm of an important climate cycle that brings needed rain to the region.
Vegas will die with the boomers.
