“Urban planners gathering in Las Vegas is not exactly the same
as if a convetion of temperance advocates were meeting here.
Nonetheless I think there’s still a bit of a sense of discordance
between this group and what it stands for and the place in which
you are meeting. It seems to be a little bit of a paradox - urbanistsmeeting in the ultimate nonurban city.”
May 2, 2008, Paris Hotel, Las Vegas: Closing keynote speech of
the American Planning Association’s 100th Conference

The one thing Las Vegas does not do well is thinking of itself
in historical terms....Anything that promotes looking back is, by
definition, unwelcome in this city...LasVegas wished the downtownwould simply evaporate.
