About Las Vegas

Las Vegas exists because of gaming and hospitality in the middle of the Mojave Desert, and that's not changing — but CES holds its annual event there, and Nevada's proximity to Tesla's Gigafactory has pulled a real, if smaller, tech layer on top of the entertainment economy. UNLV anchors the research side of a city still fundamentally organized around tourism.
