Reader Poll Preview: What do you miss most that's gone from Las Vegas?
Here’s a fun one we haven’t run for around a decade: What do you miss most that's disappeared from Vegas?
The last time we conducted this survey, the choices were all from “the past few years.” This time, the sky’s the limit (which reminds us to include Vegas World).
Of course, we can only include so many choices before the list is so long that you have to scroll all the way to China, and it's already pretty long (alphabetized for your scrolling convenience). But give us your suggestions anyway and we'll endeavor to include as many as we can.
Remember, this is just the preview. You can't vote until a week from today.
