It must be exhausting for conservatives to constantly overcompensate to prove to everyone - and themselves - how masculine they are.

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 
1,997,659 includes Vegas and Henderson
Washoe 429,079 Reno area
Carson City 54,616
Lyon 51,264
Elko 50,954 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.

"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.

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.

I don't think that we have seen most of the good and mainly bad effects from the legalization of weed yet and won't have all of the hard numbers for awhile.

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?
from this link you see that the highest hotel rates are in:
1. Boston
2. New York City
3. San Fran
4. Wash DC
5. Honolulu
6. Chicago
7. Nashville
8. LA
9. Seattle
10. New Orleans
11. Miami
12. Philly
13. San Jose
14. Scottsdale
15. Denver.

I think ultimately Vegas is going to try to appeal to the "luxury" and "entertainment" aspect of the city as opposed to gambling. To be honest, the Michael Jackson show was unbelievably good and not something you're going to be doing in say Cleveland Ohio (or many, many other places). For example, I think instead of offering gambling-based incentives common now I could see offering amenities instead. I know my Dad goes enough where monthly he gets $XX free slot play for example. I easily see that shifting to $XX resort credit or something like BOGO shows, airline credits, etc.
It'll be interesting though to see how it shakes out.

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.

Actually Nevada is a really big state- with not much in it besides Vegas, Reno, and Henderson.
7th in area, and it surprised me that it's bigger than Wyoming. But 33rd (estimate) in population. BTW, 2\3rd of the state's 3 million population are in the Las Vegas vicinity, meaning there's a whole lot of nothing everywhere else in the state. But they do have a lot of open desert open desert where the military blows stuff up, and and nice high level nuclear waste dump.
