I visit Vegas at least once a year. Many times when I walk down the halls of the hotel(s) I am in, the smell of marijuana will waft out of rooms. I assume at one time, like in the ‘60s and the early ‘70s, this might have got you kicked out and maybe even smacked around a bit. At what point did this change? The eighties/nineties? When corporations took over ownership from the mob? Also, what role did Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" play in widening the definition of "partying" in Vegas.
