Review: "In this new edition of Resort City in the Sunbelt, Moehring discusses how tourism and the spectacular expansion of the strip continue to spur growth and dominate the casino market. He also addresses the downside of that growth: increased crime, traffic headaches, overcrowded schools, and underfunded social services. In addition, Moehring assesses the storms that may be looming on Las Vegas's horizon - the popularity of on-line gambling, the continued threat of increased federal regulation, the proliferation of Indian casinos, and the nationalization of casino gambling."--Jacket.
