Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce

Should the focus be on the city's mystic qualities - the dazzling lights and glittering resorts where more than 35 million pleasure-seeking tourists wager millions of dollars every year? Or should one look beyond the myth, at a southwestern metropolitan area that is home to 1.4 million people - a place with schools, parks, grocery stores, and quiet neighborhoods populated by people from every state in the union?
