    Wrong again, Henderson is in Clark County (which is well over 700,000 now)  and has a population of 300,000+ by itself.  No other city/county is close to the 700,000+ club. Whats with 60 mile, 100,000 population? 

    Oh my old plant engineer had a brother who lived in Henderson over 30 years ago, it has grown since then. 

    Nevada total population by county
     
    County Total Population
    Clark Clark County total population - 19976591,997,659 includes Vegas and Henderson   
    Washoe Washoe County total population - 429079429,079 Reno area
    Carson City Carson City County total population - 5461654,616
    Lyon Lyon County total population - 5126451,264
    Elko Elko County total population - 5095450,954 and that's the top 5 as of 2012 the rest are very small

    Never wrong. Clark County uses 60 miles from a 100K city. Thats all there is to it.

    FROM CNN, 2016.....

    "Brothels not legal in big cities

    Nevada law allows counties with a population below 700,000 to offer brothel prostitution.
    That means no legal prostitution in Clark County, where Las Vegas is. County law prohibits brothels in Washoe County, home to Reno, and several other counties." (SEE THE LINK IT EXPLAINS NRS 244.345 in detail.)  😉

    The current law says under 700,000 in population, 60 miles is never mentioned.

    Nevada is a tiny little state with nothing except Vegas and Henderson in Clark County and Reno in Washoe county......    nevermind this is going nowhere. 

    Facts just tend to confuse some people.  😆

    My understanding is that the weed money cannot be put into the US banking system because of federal drug laws.

    Who gives a rats a$$ that you want it legal. The state of Ohio wont be asking you. Alcohol leads to so many problems, but combined with weed screws people up.

    Nobody after eating sugar or smoking a cigarette ever got behind the wheel of a car and killed somebody. You sitting down and devouring a whole chocolate cream pie does not effect me.

    Weed money can't be put into the US banking system?   Then what do the 7 states where it is legal do with their "weed" money?  They sure as hell don't carry cash around.

    Alcohol does and will affect far more people driving a vehicle that weed does/ever will.   And I can tell you....being in the business....there are more  OVI arrests where prescription drugs are involved than where weed is involved.

    Weed combined with alcohol really impairs judgement. Weed driving is illegal. Why legalize and tempt people to do it. Look at alcohol and behavior.

    Actually its a win for the public.

    Vegas will offer more perks to entice the public to visit. 

    I just did a tour of the city with what was our 3rd time going there. I noticed this time (april 2017) rates for hotels were WAY higher than before. I asked the guy and he went into a whole story that basically Vegas is moving strongly away from assuming gambling winnings as the main income source. They're already moving into what you're describing of tailoring more to the "luxury" of Vegas as opposed to the gambling. I'm not going to make up numbers, but this has been proven to be true over the past several years where profits from gambling have markedly gone down, while profit from rooms/food/booze have gone up. I have no doubt this decision was in part the reason they did it.

    I believe that profits via gambling are down because of the economy which is now on the rebound. Some states were still suffering a slight recession as early as 2016. I know that in 2008 Vegas really took it hard. I had a friend working on a high rise there and one day they just shut down the job and sent everyone home with the building 50% complete. 

    I now dont have to go to Vegas to place a football bet.

    No I get the point exactly.I'm well aware of that it. I deal with it all the time. The point is that weed is probably far less of a problem than alcohol or prescription drugs. Prohibition of it is just stuck up foolishness

    Probably far less of a problem. Evidently not in Colorado.

    Legalization will lead to more people driving after smoking pot. And, as if booze is not bad enough, smoking after drinking.

    yThen we deal with it just likewe do now. Pot  not being fully legal now does not seem to stop anyone from using it and driving. I see it in court all the time. It won't get any worse if it's legalized I don't believe and I am the one with The experience in this area

    My link already proves that driving after puffing weed accidents have increased. I dont need to be in the business to understand their findings.

    Laws are in place now to discourage weed. Once lifted it it will become more accepted and available for use.

    Yeah, that was brought up as well. I've only been three times, and it was definitely very interesting to see how things shifted. This last time I was amazed that even places like Luxor were $100+ a night on a non-descript week in April. When I first went (2013) I simply called for rates and was offered a buy one, get two nights free deal and paid a whopping $110 total.

    I really enjoy the wow factor of Vegas, but that just isn't worth it.

    Question.....will losing their monopoly on sports gaming mean that LV will lose a lot of tourism there....seeing as how they  (Nevada) WERE the only place you could go to do that legally?  Or will they go the other route and jack up hotel prices by claiming that their basic....non gambling attractions are enough to warrant tourism on a large scale?  Will they think they have similar to offer to a tourist as does San Fran, Boston, NYC, DC etc...other places where the hotel rates are high?

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/214585/most-expensive-cities-in-the-us-ordered-by-hotel-prices-2010/
