casino's to have opened here? Would that also be a casino in your area?

Sun City(s) are retirement communities. There are several. One not far from
Temecula, CA, one near Tucson, one here in Las Vegas--over in the northwest
end of town.

Little too expensive for me. I live in a tract. It is gated, but then an
awful lot of the tracts here in Las Vegas are gated. Doesn't make too much
difference--all the Pizza delivery places, carpenters, plumbers, etc. have the
gate codes anyway.

ps
did you know that Las Vegas has more churches per capita then any other city
in the US of A?

Seems like there is one every three or four blocks. Mormons probably make up
the most. There are several Wards here in Southern Nevada.

The city was originally founded by Mormans back in 1857 -- it abandoned for
a while.

Las Vegas = meadow in Spanish. Used to be a wet marsh here near the banks of
the Colorado River (now Lake Mead).
