Quote of the Day

“The hotel industry in Nevada, when it was the Lone Ranger, which it no longer is, it’s all over the world—it was selling, ‘Come here for excitement, for great entertainment, for great food, for great shopping.’ Anything to sell tourism—that was our industry. My husband and I have always talked about diversifying the economy. We need to establish an identity.” — Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman, on the challenges facing Sin City. Today is Carolyn Goodman Day, in that researching a potted LVA.com biography of Her Honor is my principal occupation for the time being.
